Earthwork ditches or hollows to the north of Walland Farm, Woolfardisworthy Parish, could be the remains of a former field boundary, possibly of medieval or post-medieval date. The T-shaped earthworks appear to sub-divide a small rectilinear field into three. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map of 1880s-1890s, and had therefore been removed prior to this date.
