An L-shaped bank less than 2m wide is visible as a slight earthwork and cropmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 1999 at Powderham Park, Newton Abbot. Aligned roughly north to south and west to east, the visible earthwork corresponds in part with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Wolborough. The west to east aligned section is evidence of a boundary removed prior to circa 1840. The north to south boundary was probably cleared during the creation of Powderham Park in the later 19th century.
