Full description

Earthwork banks, circa 3m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1964 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks comprise an L-shaped bank and a possible linear bank which define three sides of a rectilinear enclosure which measures circa 35m across. Its south-eastern extent has been truncated by Devonport Leat (MDV19902). The enclosure does not correspond with features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or later available historic mapping. It is possibly associated with the late prehistoric field system recorded to the immediate west (MDV25635).
