An L shaped cropmark is visible on aerial photographs of 1989. The visible cropmark is up to 1.5 metres wide and approximately 60 metres long and is located on the north-west facing edge slopes of a spur immediately north-east of Langdon Road, north of Dawlish. The cropmarks might be evidence of a possible ditched enclosure of later prehistoric to Roman date, located on a relatively level area of ground on the spur, overlooking the combe to the north. The possible enclosure is potentially associated with linear ditched features located to the south-west.
