A possible former field boundary of probable post-medieval or modern date is visible as a low ditch flanked earthwork bank, to the north-east of Flow Point. The reverse ‘r’ shaped bank appears to be aligned upon extant field boundaries to the south and north-west, but is not depicted on the tithe map for Bishopsteignton. This might support the interpretation it passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
This area is now obscured by scrub vegetation and trees and the bank is not clear on recent aerial photographs available to the survey. This area does appear to have been landscaped to include a pond in the vicinity, and it is possible that the earthwork has been damaged or levelled
