A relict field boundary of between medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1989 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, at Lower Leigh. The linear earthwork is northwest to southeast aligned and generally respects the historic field patterns depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although the field boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The field boundary is more likely to be of post-medieval date and may have defined the extent of an orchard or copse, a number of trees being depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s.
