Strip fields created through the consolidation of furlongs in the medieval open fields of Wadworth. The 1st edition OS map of 1854 labels the area as 'The Wike Field'. There has been some removal of the strip field boundaries but not enough yet to change the essential character. Those that remain are depicted on the 1767 Wadworth enclosure award. The building of a motorway junction through the strips in 1967 has somewhat disrupted the legibility of the former landscape which is therefore fragmentary.
