Transcriptions of a series of linear banks and ditches correspond to the grid reference for PRN167156.

Young, A. & Turner, S., 2005-2006, North Devon/Winkleigh Biomass Plant National Mapping Programme (NMP) project database records, PRN 167156 (Interpretation). SDV358473.

A group of removed field boundaries or trackways (interpretation is uncertain) are visible on aerial photographs (p1&2) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. At the quoted NGR are three cropmark banks; these may be removed boundaries or possibly areas where the grass has been scuffed by walkers. To the immediate west are two earthwork ditches, and to the south is an earthwork bank. The features lie within an area classed as C18th and C19th post-medieval enclosures in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
