Thirteen narrow and elongated fields are illustrated on the western bank of the River Otter on the East Budleigh Tithe Map of 1843. The fields include plots 1098-1110 and are likely to represent the remains of a medieval strip field system. The boundaries of these fields have been removed by the First Edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey map (1880-1899) leaving little evidence of the former field system. A number of the fields to the west of this group retain a regular rectangular layout between the roads in this area, and although larger in size, hint at post-medieval enlargement of a former medieval field system.
