Former field boundaries were visible as low earthworks banks.

Former field boundaries were visible as low earthwork banks on aerial photographs of the 1940s and digital images derived from lidar on the west-facing slopes overlooking the Umbourne Brook, Stockland parish. The banks correspond in part with boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Stockland, indicating that they had been partly removed prior to the 1840s. The boundaries were not depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map, indicating that the remaining boundaries were cleared between the 1840s and 1880s. The relict banks fell within a field enclosure pattern characterised as being of medieval origin and might have been medieval in date.
