Preposition

Hi Folks,

Do we say 'at the edge of the lane' or 'on the edge'? Both seem to be okay with me.

2) Also when using 'ought to' in past tense, do we say like this:
John: Was there something on the shelf?
Jim: There ought to have been.

Can 'there ought to have been' be used as a complete sentence in such contexts?

Thanks.
