Earthwork ditches and a bank interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 1999 and from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Bickaton, Broadhempston. The linear and curvilinear earthworks, up to 20m in width, occupy an area of approximately 8 hectares of steep west and northwest facing slope. The earthworks closely respect the historic field patterns depicted in this location on the 1841 Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although only two short sections of earthworks correspond with field boundaries on this map. This supports the interpretation that the field boundaries had almost completely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
