A large agglomerated field which has developed from the piecemeal enclosure of a former carr. Land to the south of Main Road between Branton and Auckley by Willow farm, is marked on the 1st edition OS map as the site of a manor house. It is possible that the piecemeal enclosures were associated with the occupant of the house. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary as a few erratic hedgerow boundaries remain.
