Undulating river valley historic information

Very mixed. Enclosed land dominated by piecemeal enclosure, suggesting un-organised and opportunistic enclosure. Scattered small areas of woodland, often historically coppice, and fragments of un-enclosed land. Occasional industrial (gravel extraction) activity.

Known archaeology

In places gravel terraces mean a high potential for recovery of Palaeolithic finds and palaeoenvironmental material (notably the Axe Valley).
