A linear earthwork ditch or hollow circa 15m wide and 135m long is visible on the south-west facing combe slopes overlooking Moor Brook, on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The visible earthwork might correspond with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Bishopsteignton but not the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. The relict ditch is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary potentially of medieval to post-medieval date, that was removed between circa 1840 and 1880.
