Two parallel curvilinear earthwork banks up to circa 4m wide and up to circa 155m long are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 on the south-east facing slopes north of Gappah Farm, Kingsteignton.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any field boundary depicted on 19th century maps available to the survey. The earthworks are interpreted as a former field boundary of probable medieval origin that had been cleared prior to circa 1840. The earthwork is not visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2015 and has probably been levelled.
