A possible former field boundary of between medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork bank and ditched feature on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the south of Ley Farm. The short linear section of bank with flanking ditch measures approximately 70m in length. The field boundary is not depicted on the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48, so appears to have passed out of use by this time. Identical bank and ditch earthworks of an additional former field boundary are also visible on lidar images to the immediate south, although since it is depicted on historic map was not transcribed during this survey.
