Earthwork banks have been interpreted as field boundaries of unknown, but potential medieval date.

Taylor, E., 2002, NMP Mapping in West Devon (Report - non-specific). SDV341865.

Two earthworks running approximately northwest-southeast across the valley bottom visible on aerial photographs. Possibly remains of banks from former field boundaries.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2016, Backlog Recording of the Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Survey (Personal Comment). SDV359374.

It appears originally that these two earthwork banks were recorded as part of a much larger collection of field boundaries associated with a single NMP database record. At some point, however, they have been recorded as a separate monument from these. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photographs is not known.
