A small rectilinear single bank enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (p1). It has three visible sides, and is open along its north edge. Its dimensions are 2.5m by at least 7.5m. The enclosure is sited within an area described as ‘Post-medieval enclosures' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and is likely to be associated with post-medieval or later agricultural activity. It has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
