A possible former field boundary of between medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1947 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northwest of Ley Farm. The earthwork comprises a slightly curvilinear north to south aligned bank, with a northwest to southeast aligned linear offshoot towards its southern extent. The field boundary appears to have passed out of use by the time of the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project has classified this area as comprising ‘medieval enclosures’.
