The enclosure around which the parish boundary goes, 150 metres east of the site, may relate to early medieval settlement, as suggested by local field and place names. Associated agricultural features may therefore fall within the site. It is referred to as part of 'Common Close' in both the Feniton and Ottery St Mary Tithe Apportionments, which suggests the area may have been neutral ground for the two parishes in the 19th century.. Other details: Figures 2-3.
