Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as earthwork ditch and banked features on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southwest of Collipriest Diary. The parallel curvilinear and linear earthworks are broadly northeast to southwest aligned and are sited on moderate northwest facing slope. They comprise two curvilinear earthwork banks which are flanked along their northwest edge by respecting earthwork ditches and with two shorter linear banks sited approximately 17m to the northeast. The earthworks closely respect the historic field patterns of medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although the former boundaries appear to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The earthworks remain visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2012.
