A small oval platform of unknown date and function is visible as an earthwork on a north-east facing slope overlooking the River Taw, on aerial photographs of the 1940s. Centred roughly on SS 54033284, the platform measures approximately 17 by 8.5 metres, orientated roughly north-west to south-east. It is possibly embanked on its downslope, north-eastern side.
The earthwork was probably levelled during the construction of a modern housing development on this site.
