A former field boundary of probable post-medieval date is visible as a cropmarks on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards, to the south of Westward Ho!, Abbotsham parish. The cropmark corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the 1840 tithe map for Abbotsham, but which is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map of the 1880s-1890s. The field boundary had therefore probably passed out of use between 1840 and 1890. A field boundary immediately to the west, also depicted on both historic maps, continues in use until the 1940 but has since also been removed.
