Linear cropmarks of levelled ditches, circa 4m in width, are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989, to the north of Pitt Farm, Broadhempston. The northwest to southeast aligned cropmarks broadly respect the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the 1841 Parish Tithe Map and characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although do not correspond with any field boundaries on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
