A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1950 onwards, to the northeast of Woodcoxhayes Farm. The sinuous earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and generally respects the historic field patterns depicted on the 1838-48 parish tithe map of medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although the boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The possible boundary remains visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from Lidar data captured in 2005.
