Summary

A cropmark of a possible oval ditched feature was visible on the south-facing slopes overlooking a tributary to the Exe, south of Brampford Speke. The cropmark is less than 1 metre wide and defines an area approximately 40 metres by 23 metres in area. It could be evidence of a single ditched enclosure of later prehistoric to Roman date. However, it is more likely to have been caused by modern activity, such as equestrian training; similar if larger features were visible as tracks in areas of pasture to the south.
