Junction of the M1 with the A628 which leads to Dodworth and Barnsley. This section of the M1 was opened in 1968 (Hewitt 2007 -10/05/07). It was built on an area of piecemeal enclosure on the outskirts of the township of Dodworth. It was probably outside the area of the townfields and part of the agricultural land associated with Lane Head. It may have been enclosed out of former commons between the 12th and 14th century. The place name 'head' indicates it was beyond the limits of the settlement. (Sykes 1993,240-1)
