Possible former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the south of Windsor Farm, Hemyock. The four linear and parallel northwest to southeast aligned earthworks closely respect the historic field patterns depicted on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although the field boundaries appear 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 earthworks remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. Other ‘linear’ features were also visible on lidar images, although they were interpreted as being of likely modern agricultural origin.
