Full description
Fletcher, M. + Newman, P. + Probert, S., 1999, Drizzlecombe, Eylesbarrow, Ditsworthy and Hartor areas in the Plym Valley, West Devon (Report - Survey). SDV346268.
(04/08/1999) Centred SX 59756729 is a short length of probable prehistoric field boundary visible within an area of short grass on the moderate S facing slope some 600m NE of the Drizzlecombe stone rows. The turf covered stoney bank, about 50m long, measures 1.2 m wide and stands a maximum of 0.4m high. Its visibility seems to be due to the surrounding vegetation, the remainder of the feature is obscured by the tall dense grass covering the rest of the slope.
