A linear earthwork bank or scarp up to circa 4m wide and up to circa 175m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1964 on the east bank of the River Teign, Chudleigh and Hennock. The visible earthworks correspond in part with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map for Chudleigh, following the boundary between Chudleigh and Hennock parishes. The earthwork is interpreted as a former field boundary of probable medieval origin that had been partly cleared prior to circa 1840. The earthwork has probably been levelled.
