Richard Sims, 2015-2016, Marshwood Vale National Mapping Programme (NMP) project (Interpretation). SDV359291.

A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at Uplyme. The broad, possibly plough-spread curvilinear earthwork is northwest to southeast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns depicted on the Uplyme Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48, although the relict boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The earthwork remains visible as a banked feature on Lidar-derived images of between 1998-2014.
