Rough Plantation forms a block of woodland in the area known as Snape Mires, formerly an ill drained marshy area in a shallow bowl between the villages of Snape, Burneston and Exelby, and once the site of a glacial lake. The ground here varies considerably between clay, peat and damp areas with reedbeds, and an examination of the map reveals many small patches ringed by the 30m contour, some of which are slight bumps and others small depressions.
