Earthwork banks of possible medieval or post-medieval field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs of 1971 onwards, at Dunsgreen. The curvilinear banks are broadly northeast to southwest and east to west aligned and are parallel to the gentle to moderate northwest facing slope. Two of the earthworks appear to partly correspond to field boundaries depicted here on the Parish Tithe Map, whilst the other possible field boundaries had evidently passed out of use by this time, following an apparent re-organisation of land division here. The earthworks remain partly visible on digital images captured in 2016.
