Former field boundaries of likely post-medieval date are visible as earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Fiddles Reach. The two adjacent and slight curvilinear boundaries are northwest to southeast and northwest to southeast aligned. The southern of the two is depicted on the Parish Tithe Map and is also extant on aerial photographs of 1947, whilst that to the north appears to have passed out of use by this time. By 1982, aerial photographs show that the southern field boundary has been removed, although is visible as an earthwork bank. The former field boundaries remain visible on aerial photographs of 1996.
