Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as a series of earthwork ditches and banks on aerial photographs of 1983 onwards, and LiDAR images between 2008-2012, at Gerston Point. The boundaries are visible as a series of roughly parallel north to south aligned banks and ditches generally separated by between 20-40m, with each ditch and bank measuring between 5-6m in width. A single eastnortheast to westsouthwest bank defines the northern extent of the earthworks. The earthworks, which cover an area of approximately 18 hectares and lie on east and southeast sloping ground, likely form part of a medieval strip field system which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48.
