Summary
A curvilinear ditch is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 to the immediate south-east of Milton Abbot. The ditch is interpreted as a field boundary of probable mid to late 19th century origin, that passed out of use by the late-19th century.

A curvilinear ditch circa 60 metres in length and circa 6 metres in width is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The ditch is orientated north-west to south-east in a south-west facing field to the immediate south-east of Milton Abbot.
The ditch does not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps, however it does align approximately with a field boundary first depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition. This boundary is not evident on the Tithe Map. The historic landscape is characterised as ‘medieval enclosures’.
The ditch is interpreted as a field boundary of probable mid to late 19th century origin, however it could be of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use by the late-19th century.
