Modern private detached housing estates rapidly expanding Silkstone. Built on area of fairly irregular enclosure probably of an early date which may have been used as grazing land. Bull Haw Lane runs along the south of the polygon on the western side indicating possible pasture land for cattle. Grassed lane is on the western edge of the polygon and may be the remains of a medieval hollow way. This land may have been part of the medieval open field system as former boundaries surrounding this polygon included some strip fields. There is fragmentary legibility of the former fields as the modern housing overwrites all the boundaries within the polygon. Several of the external boundaries remain however.
