Linear cropmarks of levelled banks, circa 7m in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, to the northeast of Waytown Cross, Broadhempston. The cropmarks closely respect the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the 1841 Parish Tithe Map and characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although do not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as possible relict medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
