A former field boundary is visible as an earthwork bank to the south of Higher Soar. The relict field boundary is not depicted on the tithe map for Malborough and therefore probably passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The relict bank fits well within the surrounding field system as depicted on the tithe map, with which it is probably contemporary, and might be medieval in origin. A second similar relict field boundary is also visible as an earthwork some 60 metres to the south-west, but is depicted on the tithe and has not been transcribed. The earthwork is not readily identifiable on recent aerial photographs and might have been levelled.
