Earthwork enclosure 330 yards (300 metres) south-west of Three Horse Shoes Inn is a prehistoric monument located in Devon. The site consists of an earthwork enclosure whose precise dating and cultural association remain uncertain, though such monuments in Devon are commonly attributed to the Iron Age or earlier prehistoric periods. The earthwork survives as a substantial topographical feature defined by banks and ditches that form the enclosure's perimeter. Its archaeological significance lies in its potential to contribute to understanding settlement patterns and land use in prehistoric Devon, though detailed excavation and analysis would be required to establish its chronological position and function with greater certainty.
