A linear earthwork bank, circa 5m wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Bickington Barton, Bickington. The earthwork is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although does not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. It is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
