Three curvilinear banks up to 3m wide and 90m long are visible on aerial photographs of 1969. They do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern.
The plots in which the banks are visible are listed as woodland on the Tithe Apportionments for Kingsteignton.
The banks are interpreted as evidence of field boundaries that pre-date the establishment of the woodland, possibly of medieval to 19th century date, that were removed prior to circa 1840.
