it appears you made clear.

Rammed home, I’d say – still, OP doesn’t want to get fleeced, does he ?

You agreed to pay the rent and have stated you’ve no use for the land so lost nothing.

Have a bit of a think about why you are upset given above?

The £70 for the last month isn’t exactly nothing. I guess you’re so well off you can just let that go, but it’s still £70 that the Landlord has made twice over.

The OP still has grass rights on it, stock or not, could be growing it on for baleing.

But otherwise I’d probably just let it go, to be honest.

You haven’t lost anything – that 70 quid was already spent. And you don’t even know if the landlord HAS actually rented it out, or if he’s just letting somebody park (sorry, not sure of the appropriate agricultural term) their sheep there for a few weeks. Maybe they’re his sheep?

Breed some giant eagles and train them to eat the sheep in “your” field.
