Two parallel banks are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1) to the east of Lower Spie Cottage. They are considered to be field boundaries of medieval or later origin although a natural origin cannot be ruled out. These features were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme and are sited within an area described as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
