This area is no characterised by a large proportion of very large field units enclosed by perfectly straight hedgerows. This layout appears, from historic OS evidence, to have originated from a combination of amalgamation and resurveying between 1938 and 1956, probably by the Wentworth Woodhouse estate. Earlier maps show an irregular pattern of older piecemeal enclosures possibly representing enclosure of common fields, only fragments of which have survived to give fragmentary legibility of this earlier landscape.
