The enclosure is conjoined to the existing field boundary to the north and is aligned the same as other boundaries, now removed, but depicted on the Swainsthorpe Tithe map. This enclosure and all of these boundaries are aligned in common with the Roman Pye Road to the immediate east (NHER 7947/52170), which remained in use as a road into the post medieval period.
