Four oblong mounds, 6-9m long and 3-4m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (p1) to the north and east of Great Collybeer. They are probably of post medieval origin and are potentially the sites of pillow mounds. These features were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The features are sited within an area described as other woodland in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
