Description
This plantation is shown on a plan of 1805. It is named Engine Plantation on the Ordnance Survey first edition map. Plantations were deliberately planted, usually with fast-growing species like larch and Norway spruce conifers. Conifers provided good shelter for the newly enclosed fields from the wind as they do not shed leaves. They also enlivened the landscape of hedged fields. Plantations are of geometric shape. The plantation may also have served as a fox cover, in which to rear and shelter game (pheasants, hares, partridges and rabbits) or where foxes could be encouraged to live and breed. Game-keeping, shooting and fox hunting were popular elite pastimes from the C18.
