A relict strip-field field system of probable medieval origin is visible as four curved earthwork banks on aerial photographs and images derived from Lidar data, at Castle Point, Parkham. The low earthworks are aligned roughly north-west to south-east, crossing the contours of steep north facing slopes of Castle Point at an oblique angle. The banks are between 5 and 10 metres wide, 30 and 125 metres in length and spaced roughly 20 metres apart. The boundaries are not depicted on the tithe map for Parkham of circa 1840, and had therefore probably passed out of use prior to this date.
