A series of cultivation marks, similar to straight, narrow ridge and furrow, are visible on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the NMP. The marks are likely to be post medieval, possibly 20th century, in origin. Some survive as low earth ridges whilst others are only visible as cropmarks. For the most part the features lie within an area classed as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
