The possible former field boundaries are visible as earthwork banks.


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

Earthwork banks of possible former medieval to post-medieval field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs of 1976 onwards, to the east of White-ley. The earthworks, which are sited on moderate southeast facing slope, comprise a single linear northwest to southeast aligned bank with a shorter northeast to southwest aligned stub on the southern side of this. The earthworks broadly respect the historic field patterns depicted on the Uplyme Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48 and classified as 'medieval enclosures based on strip fields' under the Historic Landscape Characterisation project. The possible relict boundaries appear, however, to have passed out of use by this time. The earthworks remain visible on Lidar-derived images of between 1998-2014.
