Arable or tilled land, fallow, rotation grass, and market gardens.
This category specifically included fields planted with grass
as part of a crop rotation, as distinct from permanent
grass, but Stamp told Alice Coleman, Director of the Second Land
Utilisation Survey in the 1960s, that this distinction was not
always made correctly, partly because the Survey was carried out
in a period when much arable land was being converted into
permanent grassland.
Market gardens, but not ordinary gardens or allotments, were
also to be included as 'arable'.
These areas are coloured brown on the published maps.
