A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the northeast of Beautiport Farm. The well-defined and sinuous earthwork bank is northeast to southwest aligned and measures approximately 8.5m in width, with possible traces of earthwork ditches to each side. The former field boundary appears to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although the boundary does clearly correspond to an avenue of trees depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The former field boundary remains visible as an earthwork bank on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010.
