Banks up to 6m wide and approximately 75m long are identifiable as subtle earthworks crossing the south-east facing combe slopes boundaries east of Washabrook Lane on aerial photographs of 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Kingsbridge, but are in keeping with the surrounding field pattern, which has been characterised by HLC as probably of medieval origin.
The banks are probably the remains of boundaries based on former strip fields of medieval date, that were removed by the early 19th century.
