A curvilinear feature is visible as a single ditch on aerial photographs (p1). It is sited within an area described as 'probably watermeadows in the late medieval and/or post medieval periods' in Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation. It appears however to run against the local contours, and it is on a similar alignment to surrounding extant field boundaries. It is most likely that this feature is a field boundary of medieval or later origin. It has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
