The redoubt 750 metres south-east of East Linnacombe is a fortification constructed during the English Civil War, likely in the 1640s as part of the defensive infrastructure erected across Devon during the conflict between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces. The monument survives as an earthwork consisting of a raised platform with surrounding ditches, characteristic of the hastily constructed field fortifications that typified Civil War military engineering. Its location in south Devon reflects the strategic importance of the region during the war, when control of the county was contested between opposing armies. The site remains of archaeological significance as evidence of Civil War military activity and the physical landscape of conflict in the south-west of England.
