A linear earthwork ditch, circa 14m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Ashill, Newton Abbot. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthwork is interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, although it is also possible the earthwork represents a modern drainage ditch.
