A possible former field boundary of between medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the west of Castlehill Farm. The linear northeast to southwest aligned earthwork broadly respects the historic field patterns depicted on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although the field boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project has recorded this area as comprising ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The earthwork ditch was not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey.
