The visible earthworks correspond in part with strip field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Highweek. However, the majority of the relict earthworks are not depicted and fall within Plot 579, part of The Lawn.

A linear bank in association with linear and curvilinear ditches are visible as earthworks.

A linear bank circa 5m wide and 35m long is visible as a subtle earthwork within a linear hollow up to 12m wide, on the north-east facing slopes to the south-west of Whitehill House.
The visible earthworks largely do not correspond with any field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Highweek but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding enclosure pattern, characterised by HLC as post-medieval enclosure with medieval elements. They are interpreted as the remains of field boundaries of probable medieval origin that had been cleared prior to the early 19th century, probably for the creation of lawns for Whitehill House.
