A cropmark of a ditch up to 2m wide and 90m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1994 defining a rectilinear enclosure approximately 60m by 45m in size. The cropmarks closely correspond with an enclosure depicted on the Tithe Map for Bishopsteignton, listed in the apportionments as Linhay (Plot 1092). No evidence of the structure depicted within the plot, presumably the linhay itself, is visible on the aerial photograph, the area dominated by cropmarks probably associated with a quarry to the south-west. The linhay and enclosure are not depicted on the OS First Edition 25inch map and therefore were cleared between circa 1840 to 1880.
