Turner has roughly divided the page in pencil into upper and lower halves. The upper half is further divided in half vertically, with two separate sketches to left and right. The views are currently unidentified, but fall between studies of Exeter on folio 66 recto (D09756) and Bickleigh, in the Exe Valley to the north on folio 71 recto (D09764).
