A short section of possible relict field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1955 as an earthwork bank to the south-east of Torr Hill Farm, near the head of a small combe. The date and function of the earthwork are unknown, but it appears to fit within the pattern of the surrounding extant field pattern, which Historic Landscape Characterisation has classified as derived from medieval enclosure based on strip fields. The earthwork bank is not visible on later aerial photographs available to the survey and has probably been levelled.
