The character of this area was developed during the mid twentieth century by the removal of boundaries between 1938 and 1967. The 1855 mapping showed two distinct areas of probable 'Enclosed Strip Fields' one at the northern fringe of the area and one between 'Scholes Lane' and 'Little Lane'. Most of the boundaries within the area are bounded by overgrown and possibly ancient irregular hedgerows with frequent mature trees. These boundaries allow for partial legibility of earlier piecemeal and strip enclosures resulting from earlier assarted and common open field systems.
