North-east to south-west orientated earthwork banks of probable medieval to post-medieval date are visible on aerial photographs of the 1950s onwards and digital images derived from lidar data, overlooking the coastal slopes at Moles Park, Teignmouth. The banks are up to 210 metres long and between 10--15 metres wide. The average spacing is approximately 15 metres from the middle of each earthwork. The function of the earthwork banks is unknown but it is possible they are evidence of a former orchard.
