A rectangular ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photographs of 1984 to 1995 on the south-east facing combe slopes overlooking Dawlish water, Ashcombe. The enclosure is defined by a cropmark is up to 1m wide defining a rectilinear enclosed area approximately 90m long by 28m wide. The south-eastern end of the enclosure is not visible and may abut or be obscured by an extant field boundary.
The cropmark is not typical of later prehistoric to Roman date rectilinear enclosures, several of which are recorded in this area. The cropmarks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th maps available the survey but are in keeping with the character of the historic field pattern which is probably of medieval origin.
The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as possibly of later prehistoric to Roman date but more likely to be historic in origin.
