Boundary removal and ploughing for arable production appears to be a recent and ongoing phenomenon in this area with increased levels of activity traceable from aerial photographs from the 1970s to present day. The 1970s maps (various SMR backup files) show strong earthwork ridge and furrows in a well hedged area of mostly pasture. The 1997 vertical aerials and 2000 Multimap aerials show increased boundary removal and much fainter and fragmentary traces of ridge and furrow. Surviving traces still allow partial legibility of the underlying probably early post-medieval framework of this landscape especially towards the shrunken village of Haywood where most boundaries depicted in 1855 appear to survive. Dispersed settlement perhaps remnants of larger communities.
