A single ditched rectilinear enclosure is visible on aerial photos (p1). Its dimensions are 40m x 45m. It has a possible entrance 17m long in its north edge, and a further length of ditch that extends for 14m beyond the SW corner. There is a small pit visible within the enclosure, with a diameter of 2.7m. The site has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.

This report was prepared for AC archaeology on behalf of Western Power Distribution. It presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey across a subsection of the route for a new buried cable between Week and Denbrook Wind Farm, North Tawton. Forty-four magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological features.
Magnetic anomaly groups 1 to 6 in Plot 4 coincide with cropmarks recorded within Scheduled Monument 1021151 (legacy unique identifier 10384). Groups 1 and 3 are likely to relate to a prehistoric or Roman rectangular enclosure whilst group 2 and groups 4 and 5 probably reflect two former tracks or roads.
