This polygon represents the first large housing development in Bessacarr and consists mainly of large detached villa type properties. It corresponds closely to, but is slightly larger than Bessacarr conservation area. Many of the houses were constructed in the inter war period although there has been some later infilling. Prior to this, the site was occupied by fields with straight and regular edges indicative of parliamentary enclosure. It formed part of Bessacarr Low and High Fields which were probably farmed as open fields prior to enclosure in 1779 by the 'Cantley, Branton, Bessacarr and (High) Ellers' award. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
