DBA undertaken along a corridor associated with the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn. This study is intended to inform the development of options for improvements to the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn.

During the walkover survey a large, well defined L-shaped earthwork terrace was noted which is also on the HER (Figure 4, WA 141, Plate 11). The earthwork is located within a field on gently sloping land approximately 150 metres to the south of Rawridge Farm. The terrace appears to be defined by a low bank and resembles an enclosure rather than a lynchet. Slight curvilinear banks were also noted within the enclosure possibly forming reflecting another smaller enclosure. To the immediate south-east of the feature is a ruined linhay, hollow-way and an extraction pit which are shown extant on the Tithe Map of the 1840s. The L-shaped earthwork enclosure is not shown on the tithe map and may represent an older phase of activity possibly associated with settlement at the site.

Earthwork previously subject to historic ploughing.
