A narrow and irregularly shaped ditched earthwork bank is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 to the east of The Warren, Otterton. It is possibly associated with three shorter shallow earthwork ditches that are on a similar alignment but situated approximately thirty metres to the north and distributed over a distance of roughly 220 metres to the east. The date and function of these earthworks are also unknown. This complex of earthwork banks and ditches is not visibly associated with any Second World War military activity. All the earthworks now appear to have been levelled.
