Two linear features are visible as a single bank and a single ditch on aerial photographs (p1). The features are sited within an area described as ‘rough ground’ in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation, and are likely to be field boundaries of post-medieval origin. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
