It is probable that the early manorial boundary lay to the north of Old Rydon Lane, which would place it within Pratt Residential, but its course is uncertain. It is said to have followed 'The Way' which is mentioned in an eleventh century charter and is first documented in AD937 or 938. The western end of the bounday may have coincided with a dyke also described in the Topsham charter.
