Small irregular enclosures typical of assarted woodland. There is still good legibility of this irregular pattern. The date of origin for the woodland is chosen because there is a lot of prehistoric enclosure in the area which indicates it probably wasn’t wooded at this time. Finkle Street is on the Roman road which runs through this area but as a settlement it developed little. Within the polygon is a small workhouse which predates the creation of Wortley Poor Law Union in 1838. It would have been one of a number of small workhouses and almshouses which were in operation before the revised poor laws demanded the creation of large Workhouses to encourage people not to claim of the state (see Higginbotham 2000 for information on poor laws). This land would have been within Wharncliffe Chase in the medieval period but this would have altered the landscape little. Polygon includes Wortley Station which was a post-medieval focus of activity. A stone saw mill was active working on the stone from the nearby quarries.
