A cropmark of a curvilinear ditch less than 2m wide and up to circa 45m long is visible on the south-facing slopes south of Luscombe Wood, Dawlish. The cropmark is not continuous but might defined an enclosed area up to circa 35m across. It is interpreted as possible evidence of an oval enclosure of later prehistoric to Roman date.
