A small area of narrow ridge and furrow earthworks, probably for post-medieval or modern agricultural improvement and drainage, is visible on aerial photographs of 1946, centred on circa SS23732272, between Lymebridge and Warriors Bridge, in the Speke Valley, Hartland.
The ridges are aligned roughly north-east to south-west and are approximately 4 metres apart. The earthworks are clearly visible on aerial photographs dating from 1946 but are not visible on aerial photography of 1959, and might have been reduced by later improvement.
