A polygonal enclosure of probable Iron Age to Roman, but possibly later date, is visible on images derived from lidar data on the slopes of a north-east facing spur to the south of Tibridge Farm, Marystow.

Environment Agency, 2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Lidar visualisation (Cartographic). SDV366001.

Linear banks with external ditches are visible as earthworks defining the north-western portion of a polygonal enclosure.

Hegarty, C., 2024, Comment on Unlocking Landscapes project interpretation (Personal Comment). SDV366085.

It is not apparent from the Unlocking Landscapes lidar visualization if the enclosure earthworks continue onto the south-east facing slopes of the spur, under tree cover. The polygonal plan is not typical for enclosures of Iron Age date and it may be Roman or even post-medieval in origin.
