A linear hollow flanked by mounds or banks is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1955, to the southwest of the former location of Holland Farm.
The visible earthworks correspond with the site of a former barn, lane and orchards, part of the Chaddlewood Farm estate, as depicted on the Tithe Map for Plympton St Mary. The structures and enclosures are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map and had therefore been cleared between circa 1840 and 1880.
All earthworks had probably been destroyed during the construction of Langage Industrial Estate.
