A pale linear cropmark of a possible levelled bank, northeast to southwest aligned and circa 20m wide, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2011, at Stover Park Farm, Newton Abbot. The cropmark 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 and characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Other parallel and adjacent cropmarks are also visible in 2011, although since they correspond with field boundaries shown on historic mapping have not been transcribed during this survey.
