A former field boundary of potential medieval date is possibly visible as a cropmark bank on aerial photographs of 1946 and as a soilmark bank on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002, to the southwest of Overleigh. The north to south aligned relict boundary closely respects the historic field patterns, although appears to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. An additional former field boundary is also visible as a cropmark and soilmark bank approximately 100m to the east.
