PRN166368
A single ditched linear feature is visible as a faint cropmark on aerial photographs (p1). The feature is sited within an area described as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and is likely to be a field boundary of medieval origin. It has been plotted in AutoCAD as part of the National Mapping Programme.

The records for PRN166301 & PRN166368 by Young & Turner describe cropmarks interpreted as a possible enclosure and a field boundary. These cropmarks have been previously interpreted within this record as representing a single enclosure and so they have therefore been combined together within this monument.
