Rolling wooded pasture historic information

Very mixed, with small-scale and generally piecemeal enclosure including assarts. Suggests relatively disorganised and opportunistic clearance and enclosure of woodland areas, perhaps in some cases associated with industrial activity, particularly pottery manufacture. Some evidence of small-scale planned enclosure adjacent to villages, but much less than in some other parts.

Known archaeology

Difficult to provide a type-specific statement on the archaeology. Pottery industry, from medieval to modern times, in the eastern part of the county, concentrated here.
