Two possible former field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s as relict earthwork banks on a hillside overlooking the River Teign between the Arch Brook and Coombe Cellars. The earthworks fall within a field pattern characterised as medieval enclosure based on strip fields, and their curvilinear form could support the interpretation that they are of medieval or post-medieval date. The earthworks are not visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012 and have possibly been levelled by agricultural activity.
