Earthworks of a linear bank flanked to the west by a ditch, both circa 3m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Mainbow Farm, Newton Abbot. The northwest to southeast aligned earthworks are 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 do not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, or alternatively a possible modern drainage ditch.
