Constructed as part of the works from 1975-1977 to build this section of the M18. Intended to be reused as the site of a service station. "The fill requirement for the scheme amounted to 550,000 cu. m., almost all of which came from the excavation for Hatfield Service Area, which, for environmental reasons was constructed about 3.0 m below existing ground level and further screened by 2.0m high top soil bunds around its perimeter" (www.iht.org/motorway/m18section2.htm accessed 6 July 2006). The site has never been developed with a service station eventually being constructed 2 km to the north. No legibility of former surveyed open field.
