A former field boundary of between medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of the 1940’s and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the west of Higher Mackham Farm. The single linear northeast to southwest aligned bank corresponds to kinks in historic field boundaries at either end.
