Housing on the Basegreen estate that is first depicted on the 1973 6 inch OS plan. The housing probably dates to the mid-1950s when Sheffield City Council was drastically increasing the size of its housing stock. Prior to the estate, the area consisted of fields with regular, straight edges indicative of surveyed enclosure. Prior to enclosure, the area formed part of Birley moor. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence). Legibility is invisible.
