Plantation that is marked on 1851 maps and has expanded, probably naturally, along the river valleys. Prior to the development of woodland this was an area of moorland that had survived along the road and had been enclosed probably as part of the parliamentary enclosure of the moorland further south. 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). Legibility of the enclosed fields is significant as field boundaries remain within the woodland.
