A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at Coombe Plantation. The earthwork boundary is westnorthwest to eastsoutheast aligned and closely respects the historic field boundaries depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appears to have passed out of use by this time. The former field boundary is visible as an earthwork ditch on Lidar derived images of between 1998-2007.
