The Landscape of Fareham

Prairie Fields

These fields are those with at least one boundary over 1 km in length and which are the result of either very large parliamentary enclosure or more usually extensive boundary loss. These were usually mapped if even only one field was present because of their large size. Distinguishing characteristics include the presence of remnant field boundaries. In general this category occurs only within patterns of fields that are already quite large, and most probably originate from parliamentary-type fields.
