Earthworks of a linear bank and ditch are visible.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

Earthworks of a linear bank and ditch, both circa 10m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
