Three conjoined curvilinear earthwork banks are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are located in mixed woodland at Widworthy and trees obscure the ground surface on the available aerial photographs. They are interpreted field boundaries that predated the establishment of woodland in this designed landscape around Widworthy Court.
