An area around Bradfield Dale and Ughill comprised of unenclosed moorland. There are some small patches of woodland and some areas containing linear and sub-oval earthworks. The earthworks may indicate some small scale mining or quarrying. Legibility of the pre-moorland landscape is uncertain. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence).
