Area of regular enclosure still named on maps as Hoyland Common. The current enclosure date to around 1970 after the site has been used for opencast coal mining (James 2005, fig.28). The exact dates of the opencast are uncertain. Before the opencast mining this area was characterised by survey enclosure which is very likely to have been part of the Nether Hoyland enclosure award of 1799 (date English 1985). There is no legibility of these enclosure in the current landscape.
