Old Fen Bank marks the eastern edge of the East Fen. East of it lie the Low Grounds (seen here). East of that is Low Road, the boundary with the Tofts. The geology, layout and water management of this area over the centuries are discussed in "Creating dry land in S.E. Lindsey (Lincolnshire, England) before AD 1550", "Rural landscapes between the East Fen and the Tofts in south-east Lincolnshire 1100–1550" and "The landscape development of the Tofts of south east Lincolnshire 1100 1650", all by Ian Simmons. He and others have made some of this material available as "Margins of the East Fen: Historic Landscape Evolution" - see https://www.dur.ac.uk/east-lincs-history
