A very irregularly shaped area of woodland. An area of gorse to the north appears to have been reduced to rough pasture. The woodland now survives and marks field boundaries. It has been added to at the southern end by growth along the course of the disused railway. The woodland may have existed at the boundary of Conisbrough deer park, or possibly within it. The surrounding area was probably cleared of woodland in the late 16th century. Legibility of the previous character is fragmentary as the area is still wooded.
