Two north-west to south-east aligned banks, possibly ditched, are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as linear earthworks circa 4m wide and 100m long, approximately 100m apart, on the gentle south-west facing combe west of Stockadon Farm.
The southernmost bank corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Aveton Gifford. Neither are depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25-inch map.
The banks are interpreted as the remains of field boundaries of probable post-medieval date, that were removed in the 19th century.
The banks are not identifiable as earthworks on more recent images available to the survey and have probably been levelled.
