Within this area of surveyed enclosure (of the former 'Moss Common') lie the dispersed properties that make up the hamlet of Moss. The properties respect the surveyed roads laid out at the time of enclosure and have been progressively added too during the 20th century. Behind the properties is a well maintained network of enclosure hedgerows. Fragmentary legibility of edges of former common. Magilton (1977, 59) suggests that the village may be the site of the Domesday Village of "Neuhuse" but there seems little to support his argument that "the street pattern is suggestive of a once larger settlement" (ibid). Jefferys map (1775) may be more informative which shows properties arranged around the edges of an area of common identified as "Mossley". Possible fragmentary legibility of a 'common side' village.
