Two linear features are visible on aerial photographs (p1). They each consist of a parallel ditch and bank, 70m long. The features are sited within an area described as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and are likely to be field boundaries of medieval or later origin. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
