The fragmentary remains of an irregular rectilinear field system are visible as indistinct cropmarks, some as banks, others as ditches, on aerial photographs. From the limited visible extent one of the fileds appears to be roughly 50m x 30m in size. The features were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The features lie within an area classed as C18th and C19th post-medieval enclosures in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
