A cropmark of a ditch circa 2.5m wide is visible on digital images derived from aerial photograph of 2006 to 2007 defining a possible enclosure roughly 55m square on the west-facing slopes west of Gappah Farm, Kingsteignton. The enclosure is potentially of later prehistoric to Roman date. The cropmark was not noted on any other images available to the survey. Further work such as geophysical survey is recommended to further define the character of the cropmark.
