Please read our .

Summary

In Coombe Bottom 801071 and 804071, at least five fragmentary contour strip lynchets lie within an area which, to judge by the shape of the existing boundaries, was once an open field. N. and N.W. of these, on the steep hill-side, 803074, are very slight contour strip lynchets with low risers, apparently outside the permanent open fields.
