The disturbed ground stretching away to the east is the course of Black Lane, an old slightly sunken way between Canterbury and Deal. Here, the lane heads across the field to pick up the parish boundary between Eastry and Knowlton (now, Goodnestone) where it performs a dog-leg on its north-south alignment. The depression in the field here was filled in some years ago. This part of Black Lane was enclosed until the late nineteenth century.
