Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2013-2014, South Devon Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV351146.

Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as an earthwork bank and ditch on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the south of East Budleigh Common. The two parallel former field boundaries are north to south aligned and comprise an earthwork bank to the east and an earthwork ditch located approximately 63m to the west. The boundaries appear to closely respect the historic field patterns and may represent former medieval field boundaries which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The earthwork bank appears to have been completely levelled by 1954, although the earthwork ditch to the west remains visible on aerial photographs up until 1960. By 1965, the former field boundary has been covered with vegetation and is no longer visible after this date.
