Heath / farmland mosaic historic information

Very mixed. Fragments of heathland. No large-scale enclosure, with piecemeal and small areas of planned enclosure dominant, suggesting opportunistic enclosure of relatively marginal areas. Similarly marginal deciduous woodland, with some small plantations. Some enclosure of former strip fields adjacent to settlements, but on a small scale. Quarrying, on a large scale in recent years.

Known archaeology

Relatively little known. See Lowland Heathland.
