Linear cropmarks of former field boundaries of probable post medieval date were visible to the south of Roosters Babylon on aerial photographs of 1987. A number of the visible cropmarks corresponded with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Silverton and the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map. Only those not depicted on the historic maps were transcribed as part of the survey but it is likely they were contemporary with the depicted boundaries but had passed out of use prior to the 1840s.
