Modern business park built on an area of piecemeal enclosure of uncertain date. The Domesday Book indicates there was little cultivated land around Pilley and Tankersley in 1086 so this is likely to be later enclosure, possibly of former moorland. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region). There is no legibility of former land uses in the current landscape.
