A linear bank is visible on aerial photographs of 1964 as an earthwork on the south-east facing slopes of a spur to the south of Old Way, formerly Pottery Lane, Chudlegh. The visible earthwork corresponds closely with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map for Chudlegh, but is not shown on the OS 1880s First Edition map. The field boundary was therefore probably removed between circa 1840 and 1880. The plot is now developed for housing the former boundary probably levelled.
