Two removed field boundaries are visible as cropmark banks on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. Further boundaries at SS 49963 00503 are visible as shallow ditches. The features lie within an area classed as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon and are likely to be medieval or later in origin.
