Linear earthwork banks, circa 7m wide and north to south aligned are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the northeast of Little Bovey Farm, Bovey Tracey. The 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. The earthworks are interpreted as possible relict medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The eastern earthwork does, however, coincide with narrow earthworks of 19th century tree planting banks of a former orchard (MDV124321), shown in this location on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, but which have since been levelled. It is therefore also possible that this earthwork bank constitutes a surviving element of this former orchard.
