Former field boundaries of between medieval to post-medieval date are visible as earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the northeast of Rookery Farm. The two short earthwork banks are northwest to southeast aligned and generally respect the historic field patterns depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appear 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’, so may be of potential medieval date. The earthworks remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
