The 1850s mapping of this area shows a distinctive pattern of rectangular enclosures set in blocks of three or four with often sinuous and occasionally 's - curved' boundaries - a layout often seen in area of enclosed former open fields. This character was greatly modified in the mid 20th century with the removal of many internal boundaries to produce the current agglomerated character of this land. Fragmentary legibility of earlier landscape features including fragments of the parish boundary (the basis for the current polygon and earlier routes and pathways). SMR records for this area record a small scale field walking programme undertaken in 1979-1980 yielding a range of Mesolithic - Bronze Age period flints.
