A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the southwest of Liverton Farm. The former field boundary, which is northeast to southwest aligned and generally respects the historic field patterns, may form part of a medieval field system which passed out of use by the time of the Littleham parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former boundary remains visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1969, although appears to have been completely levelled by 1988.
