A rectangular univallate enclosure, 11.5m x at least 18m, is visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. Either the enclosure has only three sides or its southern side is not discernable on the photograph. Appended to the northern end of the feature is a second rectangular enclosure measuring 13m x 5.5m, with no apparent entrance. The date and function of the enclosures is uncertain. The features lie within an area classed as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
