A former field boundary of between medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank and ditch on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southeast of Bearfields Farm. The linear northeast to southwest aligned field boundary comprises a single earthwork bank flanked on its eastern side by a ditch, with a short northwest to southeast aligned spur visible to the north. The earthworks generally respect the historic field patterns depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48. With exception of the northern-most extent of these earthworks, the remainder of the field boundary appears to have passed out of use by this time. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project has classified this area as comprising ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The earthworks remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
