Linear banks are visible as narrow, north-west to south-east aligned earthworks in Mamhead Park, Mamhead, on aerial photographs of 1946. The banks are visible as fragmentary, and roughly parallel linear features over a distance of approximately 190m. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Mamhead. They are interpreted as former field boundaries of possible medieval origin, that were cleared prior to the early 19th century, possibly for the creation of Mamhead Park. They may be a continuation of similar features to the south, recorded as MDV122282.
The earthworks were not visible on more recent images available to the survey and have probably been levelled.
