Parallel ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (p1) in the rough ground of Great Moor. They are considered likely to be part of a post medieval system of drainage ditches and were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The features are sited within an area described as rough ground in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
