A former field boundary of probable medieval origin is visible as cropmark on aerial photographs of July 1946, to the south of Lyme Bridge, Hartland parish. The curved cropmark is very faint and slightly fragmentary, measuring less than 1 metre in width. Nonetheless it is visible for circa 140, echoing the curvilinear course of extant field boundaries to the east and west, and apparently continuing the line of a field boundary to the north, now removed but extant in the 1940s and depicted on the Hartland tithe map of 1844. The cropmark boundary is not depicted on the 1844 tithe map and had therefore probably been removed prior to this date. A second boundary is visible as a similarly faint cropmark immediately to the east, but is depicted on the 1844 tithe map and has not been transcribed.
