Former field boundaries of probable post-medieval or modern date are visible on aerial photographs as cropmarks to south of Blegberry cottages. A curved earthwork bank, depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map and visible as an earthwork into the 1980s, defines a small garden adjacent to Blegberry Cottages. To the south, narrow cropmarks reveal boundaries not depicted on the Ordnance Survey maps, defining two small additional enclosures or fields. These might have been continuations of the earthwork to the north and may also have abutted further former boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition map to the west.
