A possible former field boundary of between medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of Bowhayes Farm. The linear northwest to southeast aligned earthwork closely respects the historic field boundaries here, although appears to have passed out of use by the time of the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48. It is located in an area recorded as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’ during the Historic Landscape Characterisation project. It is also possible, however, the earthwork represents a modern drainage ditch, carrying water off downslope to the northwest. The earthwork was not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey.
