The ditch is not clearly identifiable as an earthwork.
Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.
A curvilinear hollow or ditch up to circa 10m wide and 130m long is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1950. They do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern. The visible earthworks are interpreted as the remains of a field boundary of possible medieval to 19th century date that was probably removed prior to circa 1840. The earthwork is not identifiable with any confidence on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 and has probably been levelled or near levelled.
