A dark circular ringed cropmark, circa 20m diameter, which has possibly formed over a levelled ditch is visible on digital images derived from oblique aerial photographs taken in 1948, off Battle Road, Bovey Tracey. The cropmark is visible within an area of cleared vegetation associated with the Second World War storage depot at Heathfield (MDV58013), although is not obviously associated with this site. The proximity of the cropmark to Stover Park (MDV56726) to the south adds some support to the interpretation it represents a possible post-medieval or 19th century ornamental tree ring. An oval feature of a possible mound (MDV124270) and faint curvilinear cropmarks of an additional ring ditch (MDV124271) recorded to the immediate northeast may represent associated ornamental features. The cropmark is not visible on other available aerial imagery and the area has been developed for residential housing by 1999.
