Cocked Hat Place takes its name from the triangular shaped piece of land the houses are constructed upon. They now form part of Bole Hill Lane (numbers 100-106). The shape of the plot of land probably derives from its location at the junction of Crookes' open fields. During an inspection of the foundation trench for the housing in 1887, a Bronze Age cinerary urn was discovered. It is now in Weston Park Museum. Legibility is fragmentary as the track and field boundaries are fossilised by the current housing.
