A low earth bank, 165m long, is visible on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The feature is possibly a removed field boundary, but more likely to be the remains of a trackway. It lies within an area classed as C15th to C18th ‘Barton’ fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon and is likely to be medieval or later in origin.
