The field boundary is not depicted on this map, and so appears to have passed out of use.

A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the north of Barleycombe Farm. The earthwork bank is northwest to southeast aligned and is located within an area which has been classified as comprising ‘medieval enclosures based on strip fields’ during the Historic Landscape Characterisation project. The field boundary is not depicted on the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48 and therefore probably has passed out of use by this time.
