An earthwork ditch of a possible medieval to post-medieval field boundary or modern drainage ditch is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the south of Foxhill Farm, Uffculme. The curvilinear ditch is northeast to southwest aligned and is situated on moderate southwest facing slope. The possible field boundary appears to be associated with a kink in a northwest to southeast aligned field boundary located at the northern extent of the earthwork. The earthwork remains visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014.
