Possible former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as a series of cropmark ditches on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2006, at Merrimead. The partial, fragmented linear cropmarks are poorly defined, although closely respect the historic field patterns of medieval enclosures based on medieval strip fields, although appear to have passed out of use by the time of parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former field boundaries were not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
