A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1950 and 1989, to the east of Parkfields Farm. The linear northwest to southeast aligned earthwork closely respects the historic field boundaries here, although appears to have passed out of use by the time of the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48. It is possible the boundary is of medieval origin and is located in an area recorded as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’ during the Historic Landscape Characterisation project. The former boundary remains faintly visible on aerial photographs of 1989, although it is unclear whether it is visible as an earthwork or as a cropmark ditch.
