Roughly east to west orientated linear cropmarks of ditched defined features are visible on a gentle south-facing slope overlooking the Teign estuary on aerial photographs of 1994. With the exception of several parallel cropmarks centred at circa SX 888727 which might correspond with a field boundary depicted on the tithe map for Kingsteignton, the recorded cropmarks do not correspond with any known historic field boundaries or settlement features.
The linear cropmarks centred at circa SX 88817290 appear to on two separate alignments, which might support the interpretation that at least two phases of land use might be represented. Two very straight roughly parallel ditched features visible between circa SX88667287 and SX 88887293 do not appear to have any relationship with the extant field pattern, which is probably medieval in origin. The remaining cropmarks fall within the extant field pattern and could represent an episode of medieval enclosure. However, without further field investigation the cropmarks remain undated.
