A curvilinear, roughly east-west aligned ditch circa 7m wide and 215m long is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. Two earthwork banks circa 3m wide extend northwards from the ditch for circa 15m at SX92797509 and SX92857510.
The visible earthworks correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Teignmouth. The relict boundaries were cleared during the creation of a road east from Higher Venn Farm in the mid-19th century.
