On a 1785 estate map, two fields to the north-west of Wembury Wood and Cofflete Creek are recorded as 'Higher Scabby Burrow' (Plot A24) and 'Lower Scabby Burrow' (Plot A25). The name may refer to a possible barrow once located within the vicinity. On the later Brixton Tithe Map of 1839 the field names have altered to 'Sealborough' (Plot 29) and 'Plantation and Nursery' (Plot 31) respectively.
