Plantation woodlands, depicted in 1851. Sections of this wood were cleared by local miners during the 1984/1985 Miners Strike and "there is clear evidence of this historic 'management' in the abundance of even-aged coppice sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus and birch Betula spp., trees" (Doncaster MBC 2006, 4). No legibility of earlier landscape. Presumed part of local piecemeal enclosures.
