Prehistoric and medieval linear boundary 1.34km south of Eastmoorgate is a substantial earthwork consisting of a bank and ditch that demonstrates land division practices across multiple periods of occupation and use. The monument extends as a linear feature across the landscape and evidences both prehistoric and medieval phases of construction or maintenance, reflecting continuity of territorial boundaries across more than a millennium. Such linear boundaries are characteristic of organized land management systems, with prehistoric examples often associated with field systems and later medieval iterations serving manorial or administrative purposes. The survival of this feature as a recognizable earthwork provides archaeological evidence for the patterns of settlement and resource organization in Cornwall from prehistoric times through the medieval period.
