Subtle cropmarks and earthworks on linear banks and ditches were visible on aerial photographs of 1946, in Mamhead Park, Mamhead. The visible north-south aligned features do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey. They are interpreted as evidence of possible former field boundaries potentially of medieval origin that had been cleared prior to the early 19th century, possibly during the creation of Mamhead Park. The earthworks were not noted on more recent images available to the survey and have probably been levelled.
