A possible former medieval field boundary is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1982 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of Ullcombe Farm. The linear northwest to southeast aligned earthwork closely respects the historic field patterns depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although 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’.
