Comments on map:
Seems to have been made for an unexecuted improvement scheme, as houses are shown around Castle Leaze which were not in fact built. Probably derives from Ordnance Survey 1:2500: 'minor detail' rather suggests this, as does handling of the windmill (ordinary rectangular building with description).
