A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, east of Lower Widdicombe Farm. The earthwork bank measures approximately 7m wide, is northnortheast to southsouthwest aligned and generally respects the existing field patterns. The boundary bank may form part of a medieval strip field which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The boundary is visible as an earthwork bank on LiDAR images dating to 1998-2008 and was not visible on aerial photographs consulted as part of this survey.
