A linear earthwork ditch, circa 10m in width, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Denbury Down Cross, Denbury and Torbryan. The northwest to southeast aligned earthwork is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although does not correspond with any linear features shown on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. It is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
