A ditched rectilinear enclosure is visible as a cropmark.

Two sides of a possible ditched enclosure of prehistoric or Romano-British date are visible as dark cropmarks on aerial photographs of 2020 on the south-east facing combe slopes between Sticklepath and South Tawton villages, South Tawton parish. The cropmarks define the north-west and north-east facing sides of a square or rectilinear enclosure that measures at least 40m to a side. The remaining sides of the projected enclosure are not identifiable and the enclosure may be incomplete, or the remaining ditches obscured by cropmarks arising from the natural variation in geology and soil depth.
