The enclosed land around the moated site of Tilts (PRN 398) has probably been enclosed since medieval times. Aerial photography taken in 1978 (see backup file), shows ridge and furrow well preserved at this date although this appears from the 1997 montage of Doncaster to have been ploughed flat. Tilts is referred to by Hunter (1828, 60) as 'Tylse', a property mentioned within a grant conveyed in the time of Edward I (r.1272-1307). Unknown legibility of earlier landscapes.
