The Lumb is an area of woodland immediately to the south of Rollestone woods. It occupies a steep sided valley with a stream at the base. It takes its name from the old English word for a deep pool. The northern part of the woodland is first shown as being wooded from 1965 onwards on the 1973 6 inch OS map. Medieval field boundaries, in the form of strip lynchets were recorded during an archaeological survey of the woods. The whole area is thought to have previously formed part of the more extensive Herdyngs wood (NAA 200, 36-40). Legibility is partial due to the strip lynchets surviving.
