Open scrubland along the course of a known section of the Roman Rig as it runs through Brightside (Preston and Butcher 1956. See also SMR 4039/1). This land is first shown as vacant on the 1967 OS plan of the area. Earlier maps show large detached houses along the northern edge of the polygon with parkland and gardens to the south. The external boundaries of this polygon probably coincide with early piecemeal enclosure field boundaries.
