A Field Boundary is a line feature representing the field boundary features adjacent to, or contained within, areas of agricultural land, trees, rough grassland or heath. It also includes features adjacent to land in the RPA’s Rural Land Register that are situated within urban areas in England. Field Boundary features replicate all, or part of, the underlying OS NGD Structure (Built Obstruction) Line and are classified as Tree Canopy, Wooded Strip, Hedge, Wall, Other or Unknown (in hierarchy order).
