This is a large area of agglomerated fields to the south and west of Tickhill. Originally the fields were part of a system of open fields comprised of furlongs. Theses furlongs were consolidated and enclosed over time to form groups. Although the removal of field boundaries has created the larger fields, the names of some of the enclosures persist such as 'Kings Closes', 'Friars Hill Closes' and 'Secret Flats'. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary due to this. Many of the field boundaries were only removed in the latter part of the 20th century.
