This is an area of large agglomerated fields which contain the occasional farmstead. The fields are in a semi-regular pattern as a result of the boundary loss. They were created though the parliamentary enclosure award of Austerfield in 1767. The award enclosed the open fields which are still marked as 'Town Field' and 'High Field' on the 1st edition OS map of 1854. Much of the boundary removal has taken place in the latter part of the 20th century meaning that only some of the enclosure boundaries remain. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary due to this.
