Land enclosed as part of the 1816 Thurstone Enclosure Award (date in English 1985) Parliamentary Enclosure of Upland Moor with dispersed settlement in the form of enclosure period farmsteads. There are a number of lodges and inns along the turnpiked road. Medieval crosses date from when this road was part of the salt track. Steep slopes reverting to moorland type so legibility of moorland is partial. 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). Iron age enclosure at Castle Dike in south of polygon.
