A group of single ditch linear features, running NW-SE and SW-NE are visible on aerial photos (p1). 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.
