Earthwork Terracing and banks visible on aerial photographs of the 1960s onwards immediately to the east and north of the farmstead at Rhode Farm might be evidence of former infield enclosures. The earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map but may in part match boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Bradninch. This might support the interpretation that the boundaries had largely passed out of use by the middle of the 19th century. The surrounding field pattern has been characterised as medieval enclosure based on strip fields and it is likely that the relict earthworks are also of medieval origin. Earthworks remained visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002 and it is therefore likely traces of the probable boundaries survive.
