Former boundaries divided fields 637, 640 and 644 om 1840/47. By 1890 the triangular plot 640 had been removed. The line of the boundary between 637 and 644 is still visible as a line of trees to the west of the modern trackway.

A number of ditches were exposed in the evaluation trenches on land at The Grove on Jetty Marsh in 2007. The majority of these features appeared to be small-scale agricultural boundaries of Post Medieval or later date. The lack of finds suggested that the site had been subject to limited activity beyond agricultural use. The function of a series of ditches within the excavated area is not known but a single abraded sherd of Romano-British pottery was recovered from one of the ditches. An undated pit and several posthole features were also exposed.
