There is probably at least some documentation of the antiquity of field
systems. As I recall when the Ordnance Survey started doing aerial
photography to aid mapping after WWI, archaeologists were able to pick out
pre-Roman, Celtic field systems based on plowing patterns. So I'd guess
someone might have workied out some of this hedgerow age from that
perspective.

Many are linked to medieval field systems and
some are possibly late Romano British. In short they're old and nearly all
of them appear on 1830-1860 maps but their species rich nature indicates
they're far older. 7 woody species in 10m streches is very common - often
higher and in 100m stretches 7 woody species - easy.
