A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on LiDAR images of between 1998-2008,to the southwest of Beaconspark Plantation. The earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned, measures approximately 6.5m wide and generally respects the existing field patterns. The earthwork abuts a roughly north-south aligned former boundary at its southwest extent which is also visible on LiDAR images, but which appears on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48 and was not mapped as part of this survey. A roughly parallel boundary which lies 28m to the southeast is also visible on the South Pool tithe map and may suggest the presence of a system of medieval strip fields. The boundary was not, however, visible on aerial photographs.
