Field name 'Round Park' on the 1840 Tithe Map Apportionment (Plot No 362) could suggest the site of a former earthwork. When visited on 27th June 1979 it was found to be part of one large field with no visible remains. Other details: Worksheet No 31.

Harrison, D., 2017, Houghton Barton, Newton Abbot, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361681.
Geophysical (magnetometer) survey undertaken covering approximately 52 hectares, on land at Houghton Barton, north-west of Newton Abbot, to inform an Archaeological and Heritage Assessment which will be submitted with an outline planning application for a residential-led mixed-use development.
A vague curvilinear anomaly is indentified southeast of Meadow Way, corresponding closely to an area of possibly quarrying, recorded on the HER. It s possible that this anomaly demarcates the limit of the quarrying activity. (please note, a quarry is not shown on historic mapping or aerial photographs dating between 1946-2017. There is a footpath shown on later aerial photographs which seem to match this geophysical anomaly).
