Tithe Map depicts group of 14 small plots each of c.0.25-0.5 acres on floodplain to west of River Otter extending for approx. 200m N/S (central NGR given). All described as arable (Tithe Apportionment Nos 1106-1115a) and called 'Burys'. Name suggests possible earthwork in vicinity. Term 'bury' known also to be used (although not necessarily in Devon) for pillow mounds, or artificial rabbit warrens. Although if this is origin of the name here, they were presumably disused by 1840s as plots described as arable on Tithe Apportionment. There is a warren site to east of parish boundary. The name 'bury' can refer to earthworks of early origin.
