A linear earthwork ditch, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest aligned is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948, off Storrs Close, 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 which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork has since been levelled following residential development of the area by 1999-2000.
