Modern housing estate on an area piecemeal enclosure of an uncertain date but the land is marked as enclosed Jefferys map of 1775. The enclosures are fairly irregular so may be early in date but the Domesday Book records little cultivated land around Pilley in 1086. Located adjacent to Pilley Green this may have been an area of unenclosed commons. There is no legibility of the former enclosures. These fields were dominated by the mineral railway from the Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery from 1906 to at least 1938.
