An earthwork hollow up to circa 5m wide and over 90m long is visible as a linear earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946, descending the north-east-facing combe slopes south of Bottle Bridge, Chudleigh.
The visible earthwork does not correspond with any feature depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey and may be evidence of a pre-enclosure trackway or former field boundary, of medieval to post-medieval origin.
The earthwork corresponds with a negative feature previously identified by geophysical survey in this location. The earthwork remains visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2018.
