Transcriptions of linear and curvilinear ditches correspond to the grid reference for PRN167090.

A series of single ditch linear features are visible on aerial photographs (p1). The longest of them measures 312m E-W, and all have small breaks in their length. It is possible that these features are the remains of field boundaries; they appear to align with extant boundaries marked on OS 1:10000 mapping. The features are sited within an area described as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
