Area of scrub and patchy woodland which has grown up on land that was enclosed as part of the Hunshelf parliamentary enclosure award in 1813. Some of the moorland may have never been fully improved but this scrubland has expanded in the 20th century. Field boundaries from the enclosure award remain giving significant legibility of the former landscape. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region).
