A curvilinear ditched enclosure, 55m by 41m in size, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1-3) and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The enclosure lies inside a larger polygonal enclosure, 100m by 83m in size, and both are considered likely to be of prehistoric origin. A linear ditch, possibly a field boundary lies to the south-west.

The linear cropmark ditch recorded by Young & Turner during the Winkleigh NMP project and interpreted as a field boundary was originally recorded as forming part of prehistoric enclosure MDV57861. The relationship between these features is, however, uncertain and so have been recorded as separate monuments.
Devon County Council, 2019, Google Earth Aerial Photograph Pilot Project, GE10 (Aerial Photograph). SDV363341.
Enclosure MDV57861 with linears MDV79236 and MDV79237. A further linear is evident to the west and linears are clear in the field to the south-east.
