Possible former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947, to the northwest of Remberton. The two parallel and linear earthworks are northwest to southeast aligned and closely respect the historic field patterns of medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although the boundaries have clearly passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The earthworks appear to have been completely levelled on aerial photographs of 1989.
