A former field boundary of between medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the south of Sandy’s Farm. The linear field boundary is northwest to southeast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48, although the field boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project has classified this area as comprising ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The earthwork is not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey, although is partly visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs of 1947.
