Earthwork banks of probable 18th-19th century date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards at Coombe Park Farm. The narrow ridge and furrow cultivation banks occupy an area of approximately 7 hectares of gentle north facing slope and stretch from Redslow Plantation to the south, to Coombe Park Farm to the north. The earthworks are typically north to south aligned, but with some northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned. A number of the earthwork banks remain visible on aerial photographs of 2000.
