Earthworks of plough-spread banks, circa 20m wide, which are partly flanked by ditches, circa 8m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the north of Tor Haven Farm, Ogwell. The linear earthworks are northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned and are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. Some of the earthworks correspond with linear features on this map, although the majority are not shown. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
