Two curvilinear earthwork ditches are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2005. They broadly follow the contour, on low lying ground adjacent to the River Tamar, and are tentatively interpreted as palaeochannels, though it is possible that they are the remains of former field boundaries.
