A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark bank on aerial photographs of 1955, to the northwest of Darts Farm. The faint cropmark of the largely ploughed-out bank is northwest to southeast aligned, measures approximately 148m in length and generally respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields. The former field boundary, which passed out of use by the time of the Clyst St. George parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
