Plantation woodlands. Larches Plantation developed between 1851 - 1891 mapping. Low Bottom Piece developed after 1981 maps were produced. 1st edition (1851) map shows post-medieval coal pits and a small sandstone quarry on otherwise unenclosed moorland visibility of these subsumed by present woodland so legibility is invisible. 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).
