Linear cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs at Potter’s Elm, Silverton. The linear cropmarks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Bradninch and in part appear to abut or be aligned upon enclosures of probable later prehistoric date. It is possible that the cropmarks are the remains of ditched field boundaries of later prehistoric date.
