A field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the northwest of Kerslake Farm. The curvilinear earthwork is northwest to southeast aligned and is broadly parallel to the moderate southwest facing slope. The former boundary closely respects the historic field pattern depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48 of medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although the boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The relict boundary remains visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 2000.
