The designation encompasses multiple prehistoric and Romano-British monuments, including enclosures, field systems, and settlement remains that are not readily visible at ground level but have been recorded through systematic air survey work. These sites represent evidence of Iron Age and Roman period land use and settlement patterns across the county.
