A group of linear features running roughly parallel with one another, from E-W, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1). The features are sited within an area described as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and are likely to be field boundaries of medieval origin. They have been plotted in AutoCAD as part of the National Mapping Programme.

The Winkleigh NMP transcriptions for this record also include two linear cropmark banks of a field boundary which intersect with enclosure MDV42789 to the north. However, this field boundary has already been recorded as monument MDV79201 and so has therefore been disaggregated from this record.
