Earthwork banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible on aerial photographs of 1945 onwards, to the northwest of Clyst Honiton. The earthworks are northeast to southwest aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.61 hectares of fairly level land adjacent to the River Clyst. They may represent the remains of 18th-19th cultivation banks, possibly to help provide improved drainage and increased soil depth for cultivation or for enriched pasture. The earthwork banks remain visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010.
