Now an area of playing fields, 1965 mapping shows a spoil heap on this site. It is likely to have been associated with Dodworth colliery (HSY6419) which was in operation till 1985 (Gill 2007b). All traces of this heap have been removed. Prior to this the area was one of enclosed strip fields. In the medieval period this area would have been part of the Open field system (Sykes 1993). There is fragmentary legibility of the strips as the eastern boundary of the polygon runs along the same line as former field boundaries.
