A rectilinear ditched enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark on the floodplain of the River Exe circa 300 metres west of Netherexe Barton. The cropmark of the enclosure ditch is approximately 3 metres wide and encloses a slightly trapezoidal area between 39 and 44 metres long by 35 metres wide. No break in the ditch that can confidelntly be interpreted as a probable entrance is visible but ditch on the south-west side is partially obscured by naturally occurring cropmarks on many images, which might mask an entrance.
