Parchmarks of the possible levelled earthwork remains of ridge and furrow or strip field cultivation of probable medieval to post-medieval date are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010, on south-facing slopes south of the junction of Branscombe Lane and Port Road. The possible ridges cross the contours in a roughly north-east to south-west direction and are spaced approximately 15 to 20 metres apart, measuring from the centre of the levelled ridges. This evidence concurs with that of HLC for the post-medieval period which characterises this field as part of an area of post-medieval enclosure with medieval elements. The parchmarks cannot be seen on any other images available to the survey.
