Two linear features are visible as single ditches on aerial photographs (p1). They are 40m and 35m long and run east-west. The features are sited within an area described as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and are likely to be field boundaries of medieval origin. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
