First appearing on the 1953 OS 1:1250 plan of Ecclesfield this polygon depicts a symmetrical courtyard of small houses built around a formal shared garden and bowling green. Probably built as sheltered housing. This area is within the open fields of Ecclesfield, as recorded in Harrison's 1637 survey and interpreted by Scurfield (Scurfield 1986). This area is shown on OS mapping from 1853 to 1938 as enclosed by piecemeal boundaries exhibiting characteristic 's-curve' boundaries of former ridge and furrow cultivation.
