Historic Landscape Characterisation categorises the surrounding fieldscape as Barton Fields. These relatively large, regular enclosures seem likely to have been laid out between C15th-C18th. Some curving boundaries may be following earlier divisions in the pre-existing medieval fields. In Cornwall these are sometimes called Barton fields

A possible former field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date is visible on aerial photographs of 1945 as a curvilinear cropmark ditch, circa 230 metres in length, south-east of Netton Farmhouse.
Historic Landscape Characterisation categorises the surrounding fieldscape as Barton Fields, which might support the interpretation the former boundary has medieval or early post-medieval origins. The boundary is not depicted on the Tithe Map for Revelstoke/Noss Mayo which might support the interpretation it had passed out of use by the 19th century.
