A series of plough marks, similar to straight, narrow ridge and furrow, are visible as crop marks on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the NMP. The marks are likely to be post medieval, possibly 20th century, in origin. The features lie within an area classed as C18th and C19th post-medieval enclosures in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
