Summary
A bank is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of the 1940s on the north-east facing slopes of a combe to the north-west of Modbury. The bank is probably the remains of a field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin that was removed prior to the 1840s. The bank has probably been levelled.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.
A bank is visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s as an earthwork circa 70m long and 3m wide on the north-east facing slopes of a combe to the north-west of Modbury.
The bank does not correspond with any boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but is in keeping with the character or the surrounding field pattern.
It is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin that was removed prior to the 1840s.
The bank is not identifiable as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 and has probably been levelled.
