A concentration of earthwork mounds which occupy an area of at least 0.09 hectares is visible on digital images derived from oblique aerial photographs taken in 1948, within a single land parcel northwest of Stowford Mill, Ivybridge. The form of the earthworks is largely random, and they do not correspond with any features in this location on the available 19th or 20th century mapping. Given the proximity of the earthworks to Stowford Mill, it is possible the earthworks represent dumps of early to mid-20th century waste material derived from the mill. The earthworks are visible as different tones of grey on the black and white aerial imagery, suggesting that there are several different episodes of dumping present. The earthworks are likely to be more extensive than could be transcribed during this survey since they clearly continue beyond the frame of the aerial photographs and they are not visible on other available aerial imagery. The earthworks have probably since been levelled following the expansion of Stowford Mil by 1999.
