Two parallel curvilinear banks with flanking ditches north-east of Brexworthy Farm are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Two approximately north-west to south-east orientated curvilinear banks with flanking ditches, each between 5 metres and 15 metres in width are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available 19th century historic maps, however they are parallel to a former field boundary to the west. The historic landscape is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork banks and ditches are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that may have formed part of a strip field system, and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
