A linear earthwork bank, approximately 3 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016. It may be a relict field boundary, though as it was not recorded from aerial photographs by the Tamar Valley NMP survey interpretation is uncertain. It does not correspond to any of the boundaries depicted on the available historic maps, though no tithe map is available for this area. Any boundary here is likely to have fallen out of use by the late-19th century.
