Linear earthwork banks, circa 4m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Whitstone Farm, Bovey Tracey. The earthworks are northeast to southwest aligned, with a short linear offshoot extending off the eastern of the two earthworks. They 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 which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
