Former field boundaries of probable medieval or post-medieval origin are visible to the east of Westacott Farm as earthworks on aerial photographs from 1945 and as cropmarks on aerial photographs from 2001. The field boundaries are depicted on the tithe map for Abbotsham of 1840 but not on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map of circa 1880s-1890s, indicating they had probably passed out of use by this time.
