A former field boundary of probable medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1985 onwards, south of Coombe Way. The curvilinear earthwork bank follows the pattern of the surrounding extant field pattern, which has been characterised as medieval strip enclosures. The field in which the bank is visible is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map as an orchard, and it may be that this low intensity land use preserved the relict field boundary.
