A possible former field boundary of medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1966 onwards, at Muddifords Farm. The northeast to southwest aligned linear earthwork closely respects the historic field patterns depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appears to have passed out of use by this time. The earthwork is contiguous with an extant field boundary at its northeast extent and appears to have formed part of the same boundary. Other earthwork ditches of former field boundaries are also visible on aerial photographs and digital images, although since they are depicted on historical mapping were not transcribed as part of this survey. The former field boundary remains visible as a slight earthwork ditch on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
