According to Lipscomb, Ilmer manor had been enclosed into private fields by 1657. The enclosure process began much earlier (over a century before) when Walter Curson enclosed sixty acres he leased from Lady Mary Hungerford.
By 1839, when the Tithe map was created, the field layout had stabilised into a pattern still visible in the landscape today, though some smaller fields have subsequently been consolidated.
In the tables below, A. R. P. are Acres, Roods and Perches. A rood is ¼ of an acre and there are 40 perches to a rood
