Despite some boundary loss in the mid twentieth century the land around this small unplanned hamlet retains good quality sinuous hedged boundaries that largely predate the parliamentary enclosure of Laughton en le Morthen and Slade Hooton between 1769 and 1771. Evidence for this can be found on the plan which accompanies the copy of this enclosure award held in Sheffield Archives which depicts a complex network of strips with individual landholders still retaining isolated and dispersed holdings across the area. Only one new enclosure appears to be 'proposed' i.e. shows where the responsibility for making new boundaries should lay. These strips are likely to have evolved from the enclosure of strips from a pre-existing open common arable field system. Significant legibility of ancient boundaries.
