This land became agglomerated between 1948 and 1966 after the removal of surveyed field boundaries in the area marked on the 1851 OS as 'Park Closes'. This name probably relates to the landscape parks of Sprotborough, (now built over) to the south, and Cusworth (surviving in altered state) to the north. No legibility of earlier landscape character. Area bisected in 1961 by the A1 Doncaster Bypass.
