This area was probably first enclosed with hedge-banks during the later middle ages. The curving form of the hedge-banks suggests that earlier it may have been farmed as open strip-fields.

A narrow earthwork ditch was visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2010 on the east-facing slopes west of Stoneacre Farm, Luppitt parish. The plot in which the earthwork was visible was depicted as an orchard on the Ordnance Survey 25inch First Edition map, and remained planted with trees into the mid-2oth century. The ditch was therefore probably made prior to the late 19th century. The earthwork was roughly parallel to an extant field boundary circa 16 metres to the south-west, which forms part of a field pattern that has been characterised by HLC as being probably based strip fields of medieval date. It is therefore tentatively interpreted as being the remains of a former field boundary of medieval date.
