Large fields which have been created after the loss of Hollins Plantation. This is likely to have occurred during a phase of opencast coal mining in the area (PIN2317). The plantation is not marked on Jefferys map of 1775. The landscape before the development of the plantation is uncertain but Jefferys' map indicates the area is generally enclosed land. There is fragmentary legibility of the woodland as the western boundary of the polygon remains along the edge of Wortley Park. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region).
