A linear earthwork bank, circa 4.5m wide, flanked on either side by narrow ditches are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the northeast of The Old Pound House, 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 broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location and characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a relict bank and double-ditched field boundary of medieval or post-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.
