Northern boundary of field immediately to the north of Mines Road coincides with the south boundary of the Salterns Estate in the mid 19th century. The bank itself is 1.7 metres high and is revetted on the north side. Identified as a Grade I hedge in a Devon Councty Council ecological report. The field boundary itself appears to form a section of a much longer boundary extending for some 1.1 kilometres northeast from the outskirts of Bideford East-the-Water. This may reflect the alignment of an earlier estate boundary as Salterns itself is not presently documented before the 18th century.
