Despite the loss of some hedgerows and the truncation of these units by the spread of housing to the south these units retain most of the boundaries shown on the earliest detailed maps of Eckington parish made by Fairbanks in the 1790s (see Stroud 1996, Fig 2) and provide an impression of the morphology of a landscape characterised by the enclosure of former open field by the piecemeal enclosure of single and adjacent strip units. No legibility of earlier types.
