Two curvilinear banks or terraces are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital elevation data derived photogrammetrically from APGB Aerial Photography imagery of 2016 as earthworks on the north-facing slopes above the Kate Brook, Chudleigh. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Chudleigh but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern. A narrow ditch immediately east of the northernmost bank may be a continuation of the boundary or evidence of a footpath contemporary with the boundary.
