Former field boundaries of probable post-medieval date were visible as earthwork banks to the north of Beare, on aerial photographs of the 1940s. Sections of the banks correspond to a boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Silverton but the remaining banks are not shown and therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 1840s. The relict banks might also have been associated with, or incorporated into, water management systems and operated as part of a possible water meadow on the bank of the River Culm. The westernmost banks remain visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar but the easternmost earthworks were probably levelled during the construction of the M5 motorway.
