Linear earthwork banks, circa 4.5m in width, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Poole Farm, Denbury and Torbryan. The contiguous earthworks are north to south and east to west aligned in an H-shaped arrangement. The western earthwork likely corresponds with a field boundary shown on the 1845 Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining earthworks are not shown. They are interpreted as relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
