A series of crop mark ditches are visible on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The main ditch, possibly a trackway, is sinuous and runs in a west - east direction for 320 metres; two ditches run at right angles to it at its eastern end at SS 45762 04516. To the south of these, at SS 45763 04448, are two shorter lengths of ditch, possibly field boundaries of uncertain date, forming a small subrectilinear feature 18m x 12m. In the west, at SS45546 04359, is a more substantial L-shaped ditch, which may also be a field boundary. The date and function of these features is uncertain, but if they are not field boundaries or trackways, they are likely to be drainage ditches. The features lie within an area classed as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
