Three wide linear ditched features are visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. They run parallel to each other and are possibly drainage features of medieval or later origin, however a natural origin cannot be ruled out. The features are sited within an area described as C18th and C19th post-medieval enclosures in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
