Between West and Middle Herrington, on both sides of the Herrington Burn, and also in the Park south of Middle Herrington, there is fine ridge and furrow. There are no surviving field boundaries wit hin the earthworks area, although the Tithe Awards of 1847 suggest that the township boundary ran north-south across the first of these areas.
