Parliamentary enclosure countryside almost certainly dating to the Dore Enclosure Act c1822 (date of map listed by Kain et al 2004). Straight regular enclosures with dispersed post-medieval farmsteads. Crop mark evidence for previous cultivation. Invisible legibility of earlier types. 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).
