Full description
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map.
Royal Air Force, 1946, RAF/CPE/UK/1890, Devon County Council RAF/CPE/UK/1890 FS 2195-2196 10-DEC-1946 (Aerial Photograph). SDV169268.
A bank and ditches are visible as cropmarks and earthworks.

These relatively large, regular enclosures seem likely to have been laid out between the 15th and 18th century.
Environment Agency, 2019, National Lidar Programme, LIDAR Environment Agency DTM 25-FEB-2019 (Cartographic). SDV363691.
A bank is identifiable as an earthwork.
Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.
A bank circa 5m wide and 170m long is visible as an earthwork and cropmark on aerial photographs of 1946 crossing the west-facing combe slopes to the south-west of Fowlescombe Farm. The bank is flanked by ditches circa 3m to 7m wide.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map but is in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern, which has been interpreted by HLC as post-medieval in character.
The bank is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary of post-medieval origin that was cleared prior to the late-19th century.
