Large area of woodland to the east of Silkstone. Probable ancient woodland which has had some later planting of Beech trees. Hollow Spring Wood and Hill Top Wood may have been managed as Spring woods. The use of 'fall' within a wood name also indicated trees were felled here although it is uncertain whether the woods were managed as coppice. There is a reference to spring woods near Hill Top in a 1732 marriage settlement (www.a2a.org.uk Ref:CR491a,b,c). Coppiced woodland had mostly died out by the mid 19th century in South Yorkshire (Jones 1997, 48). There is no known remains of coppiced trees but the site still remains heavily wooded so legibility is partial.
