Irregular enclosures in a gently sloping river valley with a high proportion of irregular field boundaries often overlying earlier lynched systems (FOPV 2004), with a cluster of fields to the north of the eastern end of Mayfield Road enclosed by 'older species rich hedgerows' as defined by Gilbert (undated FOPV publication). The landscape incorporates the Mayfield Brook, which is a tributary to the Porter Brook and supported water-powered corn mills in the post-medieval period. The SMR records 5 probable medieval/post-medieval cruck buildings as well as the sites of the timber-framed Bennett Grange and the stone built Fulwood Hall. Legibility of previous character types is uncertain as we have no evidence as yet for earlier landscapes.
