They are interpreted as evidence of possible quarrying or tin working of medieval or post-medieval date.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.
Linear incised channels, circa 100m long, and sub-oval to irregularly shaped pits and mounds, between 20m to 125m long, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, within Upper Teigngrace Heathfield Plantation, Teigngrace. The earthworks do not correspond with any pit or mound features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, suggesting that they had likely passed out of use by this time and before the area was given over to plantation. They are interpreted as the extractive pits and associated spoil heaps of possible quarrying or tin working of medieval or post-medieval date.
