An earthwork ditch or hollow circa 170m long and 10m wide is identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 on the south-west facing combe slopes north of Brownston.
The visible earthwork corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Modbury but not on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map.
The ditch is interpreted as a former field boundary, probably a boundary of medieval origin based on strip fields, that was cleared between circa 1840 and 1880.
