A possible former field boundary bank of potential medieval date is visible as a soilmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010, to the northwest of Wishays Farm. The former field boundary is gently curvilinear in form, northnorthwest to southsoutheast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields. The former boundary, which may form part of this medieval field system, appears to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map. The boundary was not visible on other aerial photographs consulted as part of this survey.
