Despite the loss of some of the area to the expansion of housing from the historic core of Mosborough in the mid 20th century (HSY 2446), this area retains some very clear strip enclosures with only slight loss of boundaries since 1877. The composite plan of Eckington parish reproduced in Stroud (1996, Fig2) reveals that most of this area had, by 1796, been enclosed from a former open field in a piecemeal fashion by the fossilisation of existing strip units and blocks from the earlier town field. The western boundary of this town field is likely to have been the present western boundary of this polygon which is shared as a common and continuous boundary of many of the units within it. The area to the west (HSY 2806) represents the probable ancient estate of Plumbley Manor. Significant legibility of fossilised open field layout.
