Former field boundaries of probable medieval origin were visible as low earthwork banks or lynchets on aerial photographs of the 1960s onwards and digital images derived from lidar captured between 2005 and 2012, on east facing slopes overlooking the River Exe, to the east of Batcombe Lane. The earthwork banks correspond with boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Thorverton with the exception of the easternmost earthwork which must have been removed prior to the 1840s.
The relict boundaries were presumably associated with a former settlement or farmstead depicted immediately to the north on the tithe map; no evidence of the former farm or settlement was visible on the photographs available to the survey.
