A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Whitehall Farm. The slight curvilinear earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns depicted on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appears to have passed out of use by this time. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project records this area as comprising ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The earthwork ditch is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998-2014.
