A single linear feature defined by 1 ditch, 1 bank, max. length 130m. Visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1978, and interpreted as a former field boundary of medieval or later date.

Knight, S., 2012, Backlog Input Element of the North Devon Coast AONB National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV350734.

The cropmark does not correspond to any of the field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map or any of the later available historic mapping, and it is likely to have formed over the bank of a former field boundary that went out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Its curvilinear shape is consistent with a medieval origin.
