A series of field boundary ditches of unknown, but potential medieval, date are visible on aerial photographs.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2016, Backlog Recording of the Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Survey (Personal Comment). SDV359374.

Limited attribute data for these features has been provided and it is unclear whether they are visible as cropmarks of infilled ditches, or as earthwork ditches. The features, nonetheless, would appear to more likely represent post-medieval to modern water channels and/or drains, rather than field boundaries. It is unclear if, or how, these earthworks are associated with deserted medieval settlement MDV29577 to the immediate northeast.
