Open Moorland. Grouse Butts shown on current Landline data and visible on aerial photographs. Small sandstone quarries shown on 1851 OS at fringes of moor. Place name Tinkers Hill may indicate an area of Tinker encampments. This is named on the 1851 map. Site of cold war underground watching post at north edge of moor. Origins of moorland uncertain but probably moorland by the Roman Period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence).
