N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Fields?

I think you're right - apparently Fulham Fields was the area east of Field Road Fulham, between Charing Cross Hospital and Earls Court, now built over. Perhaps this area was extensive enough to include Eel Brook Common, not far to the south east - otherwise would be suggestive of more than one site and supporting the idea that one at least could have been native.
