A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the west of Upton. The linear earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and is parallel to a fairly sharp break of slope that faces the northwest. The earthwork may form part of a medieval field system, although it cannot be established whether the possible boundary is depicted on the parish tithe map which is incomplete for this area. The earthwork bank remains partly visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured during 2005.
