Summary
Two linear banks are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1959. They are likely to be post-medieval field boundaries that pre-date the mid-nineteenth century. The banks may have been levelled by ploughing since the 1950s.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S., 2011 - 2012, North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV349018.
A straight linear bank 2.5 metres in width is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1999. It is not depicted on the 1844 Tithe or later maps, so it is likely to pre-date the mid-nineteenth century. It is interpreted as a relict field boundary of post-medieval date.
