A single curvilinear bank, circa 6 metres wide and orientated east to west, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features shown on the late-19th century Ordnance Survey First Edition map but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date that had been removed by the late-19th century.
This earthwork is possibly the same as field boundary MDV114357 to the south that was recorded from aerial photographs during the Tamar Valley NMP survey.
