Linear earthworks which form part of a single northeast to southwest aligned bank, between 7m to 12m wide, with a contiguous oval mound, circa 34m long by 20m wide, to the northeast are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, north of The Lodge, Bovey Tracey. The earthworks do not correspond with any 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. The earthwork banks are interpreted as evidence of a possible relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, although the origin of the oval mound is less certain. It is possible the mound relates to ring ditch MDV122315 recorded in this area and sited at the ‘end of a natural promontory’.
