A roughly rectilinear ditched enclosure and possible field boundary ditches of probable later-prehistoric to Roman date are visible as cropmarks on aerial photograph of 1984 to the west of Manor Barn, Mamhead. The enclosure ditch cropmarks are between 2 and 3 metres wide, enclosing an area up to approximately 50 by 48 metres in size. Partial linear cropmarks to the north may be evidence of associated field boundaries or further enclosures. Linear cropmarks visible within the enclosure may be evidence of subdivision or unrelated to the enclosure.
