Two curvilinear banks and a ditch are visible as earthworks.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

A curvilinear earthwork ditch (circa 5 metres wide), a curvilinear earthwork bank perpendicular to it (circa 3.5 metres wide), and a curvilinear earthwork bank (circa 3.5 metres in width) on a parallel alignment to the ditch, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010. They are interpreted as relict field boundary ditch and banks of possible medieval origin. They are just visible as one dark and two pale cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards, and may be very slight. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, suggesting that they fell out of use prior to the mid-twentieth century.
