Parallel ridge and furrow is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. It lies on areas of rough ground marked on the OS 1st Edition 1:2500 scale map. It is very narrow and straight and therefore considered likely to be of post medieval origin. The features are sited within an area described as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
