It lies about 2 mi north of the town of Boston, and immediately south of Anton's Gowt.

It was created as a civil parish in 1858, when the principal land owner was John Rowland. On 1 April 1906 it was abolished and merged with Skirbeck. In 1901 the parish had a population of 13. In turn, Skirbeck civil parish was abolished in 1932 to enlarge the parishes of Boston and Fishtoft, Today the area is known as Witham Marsh.
