yep reckon you're right. The photo's missing the gate I got through, curiously, that must be newer than I thought. But it does seem like it's on the boundary line.

Of course, a boundary could have incorporated a feature (like a stone) that was there already.

I had a look at some 25" OS maps of this today. Going from 1886 up until the present, the OS have never shown a boundary feature across that field. So if there was a boundary it was removed a while back (or the OS got it wrong, which happens).
