Modern large scale agricultural units created by the progressive removal of hedgerows, particularly over the twentieth century. Throughout the area, historic maps from 1855-1938 show considerable evidence for former open field layouts enclosed into characteristic 'enclosed strip layouts'. Particularly useful is a Fairbank company plan of the northern part of Ravenfield Park (Fairbank 1766), which depicts strip enclosures associated with field names such as 'Low Field' and the earlier Badeslade engraving of the estate landscape which shows both narrow units enclosed by hedgerows and clear areas of fossilised ride and furrow. Fragmentary legibility of hedgerows, approximately only 20% of the 1855 boundaries survive.
