Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

A curvilinear earthwork ditch, circa 6m wide and situated on a hilltop, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. It does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The earthwork is of largely uncertain origin. It possibly defines the northern extent of a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century enclosure, circa 60m across, or is of 20th or early 21st century agricultural origin.
