Full description

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The 19th century map shows many field boundaries in this area which are not present on modern maps. Most of the boundaries were removed post 1946.

The cropmarks of a possible curvilinear double ditched enclosure, or perhaps the ditches of a hedge not conforming to the present field pattern, are visible on 1992 aerial photographs. West and south sides of an enclosure with a minimum diameter circa 180 metres can be seen. The lines of the ditches are fairly ragged-edged, and the site requires further thought. It has never been observed in Devon County Council reconnaissance here.
