A possible univallate curvilinear enclosure is partially visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The cropmark is very faint and indistinct and the south western corner of the enclosure is not discernable on the photographs. There is a possible entrance in the enclosure's eastern side. The enclosure lies within an area classed as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
