A rectilinear enclosure of probable late prehistoric to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of 1984 as a cropmark on the south-east facing slopes west of Bradninch. The cropmark of the ditch is up to circa 3 metres wide defining an enclosure approximately 25 by 20 metres in size. Other linear cropmarks visible to the north and south of the possible enclosure are probably geological in origin.
