Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on LiDAR images between 1998-2008 as earthwork ditches southeast of East Charleton. The two boundaries measure approximately 3 to 4m wide, with one being east to west aligned and the remaining ditch southeast to northwest aligned. The boundaries are associated with a number of similarly aligned earthworks visible on aerial photographs and LiDAR images which are depicted on the parish tithe map and which likely form part of a system of medieval strip fields. The two former boundaries appear, however, to have passed out of use by the time of the tithe map.
