A series of removed field boundaries are visible, some as banks and others as ditches, on aerial photographs (p1&2) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. Most of the boundaries survive as earthwork features but some are only visible as cropmarks. The features lie within areas classed as either medieval enclosures based on strip fields or as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon and are likely to be medieval or later in origin.
