Three parallel ditched linear features of uncertain origin are visible on aerial photos (p1). The features are sited within an area described as ‘Post-medieval enclosures' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and it is possible that they are the remains of field boundaries of post-medieval origin. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
