Background

History

Permanent settlements were established during the Neolithic and Bronze Age with evidence of tree clearance indicating early agricultural exploitation of the land. During the Medieval Period agriculture continued into the valley bottom, with the steeper slopes being reserved for grazing. Walls erected in the post Medieval Era indicate land enclosure at that time. The area was once managed as a holly hagg, where the soft spikeless upper leaves of holly were cut for winter fodder for sheep and cattle. The site is now managed to encourage wildlife and was designated as a local nature reserve in 2004.
