A possible former boundary bank is visible as an earthwork crossing an area of low ground parallel to the coastal cliffs, to the south of St Catherine’s Tor. The date of the earthwork is unknown, but the curvilinear earthwork might be medieval in origin. A boundary is depicted in this location on the 1844 tithe map of Hartland (part 1) but not on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map of circa the 1880s-1890s, and it had therefore probably passed out of use by the time of its publication. It is not visible on aerial photographs of later date and has probably been levelled.
