This was probably part of the Medieval townfields associated with the settlement at Tankersley. The date it was enclosed is uncertain. The enclosures are quite irregular and are adjacent to Twelve Lands plantation and Tankersley (formerly Town Close) Plantation which are likely to have been part of the medieval townfields (Hey 1975, 111). The village of Tankersley was small in the medieval period and the formation of the Deer Park at Tankersley in 1303 would have impinged on the settlement stagnating its growth. (ibid) There is no legibility of the townfields as they were never enclosed in strips.
