Three possible field boundaries of probable post-medieval date are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2012, as earthwork banks and ditches on east facing combe slopes to the north of Meadow Farm
The earthwork bank and ditches fell within a field pattern depicted on the Tithe Map for Thorverton but did not coincide with any depicted boundaries. The relict earthworks are therefore interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries of potentially post-medieval date that passed out of use prior to the 1840s.
