Two platforms 9 and 14m square are identifiable as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 on the southern bank of the Sheepham Brook.
The visible earthworks, possibly the remains building platforms of medieval to post-medieval origin, do not correspond with any feature depicted on the Tithe Map for Modbury and were therefore probably cleared prior to circa 1840.
