An earthwork bank, circa 8m wide, which forms a sub-oval shaped enclosure, circa 35m long by 25m wide, with short offshoot to the south, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, within Broadridge Wood, Newton Abbot. The western edge of the enclosure corresponds with a field boundary shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as ancient woodland. The enclosure is interpreted as a small agricultural land parcel, for possible stock, and is of potential medieval or post-medieval date. The land parcel had been removed by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover of Broadridge Wood.
