An earthwork bank of a possible former medieval field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1969, to the southeast of Mountain Farm. The earthwork bank is northeast to southwest aligned, is gently curvilinear in shape and is visible to a length of 24m. The possible former field boundary appears to adjoin and be associated with a historic boundary first depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. As such, it may be of potential medieval date, although appears to have passed out of use by the time of the tithe map. The earthwork bank was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey and may have since been completely levelled.
