The lines of two former field boundaries of possible medieval date are visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards and Lidar images acquired in 2007, as earthwork ditches to the south of Higher Waytown, Parkham.
The earthworks are orientated roughly north-east to south-west, across a small irregularly shaped field immediately to the south of Higher Waytown. They are most recently visible on aerial photographs of 1967, after which they cannot be clearly seen.
