A linear earthwork bank, circa 8m wide and northwest to southeast aligned is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Parke, Bovey Tracey. The earthwork does 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 is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location. The earthwork is interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
