Earthwork banks which form part of a single linear feature, circa 3.5m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1964, to the north of Ventiford Cottages, Teigngrace. The northeast to southwest aligned earthworks do 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 are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location and characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on recent aerial imagery and have likely since been levelled.
