A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at the former farmstead of Higher Colebrook. The former boundary is visible as a slightly curvilinear northwest to southeast aligned ditch, with a short offshoot which continues off towards the northeast. The ditch is partly depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48 and may have formed part of a medieval field boundary, although the southeastern extent of this ditch appears to have passed out of use by this time. The shorter offshoot ditch may represent a later addition, when the field was parcelled off into smaller plots, for example for use as a possible garden or orchard associated with the former farmstead of Higher Colebrook. The plot which is dissected by this boundary ditch is indeed listed as an orchard on the parish tithe apportionment. The former field boundary remains visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from Lidar data captured in 2005.
