An earthwork bank of a possible medieval field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Rawridge Farm. The northwest to southeast aligned linear earthwork closely respects the historic field patterns depicted on the Parish Tithe Map, although appears to have passed out of use by this time. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project defines this area as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The earthwork bank remains visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014.
