Summary
A faint pale curvilinear cropmark is visible on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1959, and may be the remains of an earthwork bank, such as might be expected to enclose a prehistoric settlement. However it is not clear enough to be confident of an archaeological origin. The feature runs to the cliff edge and part may have been lost to coastal erosion.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S., 2011 - 2012, North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV349018.
A very faint curvilinear cropmark is visible on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1959, forming a subcircular feature which runs to the cliff edge and perhaps has been partly lost to coastal erosion. It is very poorly defined, and may have geological origins, but would be worth further archaeological investigation.
