Faint and narrow linear cropmarks of ditched features are visible on the floodplain of the Exe Valley approximately 500 metres to the south-south-west of Rudway Barton on aerial photographs of 1984. The cropmarks are possibly evidence of former field boundaries and trackways, potentially of later prehistoric to Roman date. They are possibly perhaps an extension of the settlement, field boundary and trackway evidence recorded to the west and north as MDV1280, MDV55596 and MDV55598.
