Terraced houses built to house workers at Elsecar New Colliery. Designed by John Carr (Hey 1986, 277). Earl Fitzwilliam was having difficulty recruiting a workforce for his mine and between 1796 and 1798 built, converted or repaired 42 houses in the area. It is around this time these houses were built. (Medlicott 1998, 156). This land was probably on the edge of the Hoyland open field system. There is no legibility of these enclosures.
