A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark bank on aerial photographs of 1996 and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2006, at Knowle Corner Wood. The former plough-spread boundary is northwest to southeast aligned and measures approximately 6m in width and is visible to a length of approximately 74m. The slight earthworks of a possible later extraction pit to the east appear to truncate part of this former field boundary. The possible boundary, which closely respects the historic field patterns, may represent 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 cropmark bank of this former field boundary was not visible on earlier aerial photographs made available to the survey.
