Summary

A system of parallel reaves is visible on air photographs. One runs approximately 1300m in a se direction from close to the right bank of the north teign river (sx64128511 to sx64738498). An enclosure may be contemporary with this reave. Three further reaves appear to branch off from the first reave, roughly at right angles. The northernmost reave runs from sx64358560 to sx64548560, and the centre one from sx64528531 to sx65008560. The southern reave appears to start at sx64658510 and then proceeds e in the general direction of one of the settlements on shovel down (os on raf ap 1947).
