A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark bank on aerial photographs of 1969, to the southwest of the former farmstead of Bassett’s Farm. The former field boundary is linear in shape, northwest to southeast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns. As such, it may form part of a medieval field system which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The cropmark bank was not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey and is likely to have been mostly truncated away during construction of Bassett’s Farm Primary School, sometime between 1969 to 1985.
