An oval ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark on the floodplain of the River Exe circa 300 metres north of Netherexe Barton. The enclosure is probably of Bronze Age to Roman date. The enclosure is slightly irregular in shape encloses an area circa 17 by 13 metres in size. It might therefore be less likely to be the enclosure ditch of a barrow of Bronze Age date, which might also be less probable in such a flood plain location, and more likely to be a small enclosure of domestic or agricultural function of Iron Age or Roman date.
