(06/01/1988) This sinuous feature depicted between SX 62907385 and SX 63117388 on the RCHM 1/10000 transcription (1985) is a rather ragged and silted drainage ditch. It has been cut across the floodplain of the West Dart River through a fairly dense scatter of deposited earthfast boulders. There is no trace of an upcast bank. It may be associated with the probable pillow mound (SX 67 SW 149).
The ditch is not visible on RAF AP (No. CPE/UK/2149 4429 11.6.47).
