Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of 1966 onwards, to the northwest of Halberton. The linear earthworks are northeast to southwest aligned, measure up to 15m in width and closely respect the historic field patterns. The probable relict boundaries appear, however, 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 2010.
