This area of large scale landscape to the west of Melton Park saw a major period of intensification through boundary removal between 1948 and 1966. Formerly the area was characterised by thin hedged boundaries, possibly representing the 'strip enclosure' of a former open field. The areas is bounded by a section of putative Romanised track way (Barwick et al 1975, 4 and map p8). Fragmentary legibility of earlier landscape features.
