A possible former field boundary bank was visible as an earthwork on the south-facing slopes to the north of Newlands Farm on aerial photographs of 1946. Although not depicted the bank fell within the field pattern shown on the Tithe Map for Broad Clyst, and was possibly of medieval origin. The bank was not visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2010 and has probably been levelled.
