A pair of possible medieval or post medieval field boundaries are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs to the south-east of Truckham farm. Centred at SS 6195 4533, two boundaries on different alignments are visible. The northernmost boundary, at SS 6198 4537 runs approximately east-west and measures 110 metres long, while the southernmost boundary at SS 6193 4528 runs north-south for approximately 50 metres. It is possible that the two boundaries formed one corner of a larger square enclosure, but no trace of any other boundaries are visible on aerial photographs. The boundaries follow a different alignment to extant boundaries in the area, but are similar in size and form. They are not depicted on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting that they had gone out of use by the time of publication, and were most likely removed to create a larger field.
