A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1942 onwards, to the northwest of East Portlemouth. The earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and is composed of two segments approximately 2.5m wide and parallel to the existing field boundaries. The boundary may form part of a medieval strip field which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former field boundary remains visible as a slight earthwork ditch on recent aerial photos.
