Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

The Knob-billed Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos), or Comb Duck, was photographed at the London Wetlands Centre. It is found in tropical wetlands in Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, South Asia from Pakistan to Laos, and extreme southern China. It also occurs in continental South America and as a vagrant on Trinidad.
Finally escaping the noise of the main road, I walked round a field, through some trees and then popped out into the odd sight of Cold Combes. A large valley area, with sheep grazing at one end, much of the rolling landscape had been ploughed ready for planting.
