First depicted on the 1952 OS this polygon marks part of the northern fringe of the great sprawl of planned estate housing that extended over so much of north eastern Sheffield in the period 1930-1950. The polygon boundaries fossilise a number of earlier piecemeal enclosure hedge lines and a narrow pathway from the earlier landscape between the back of Rocher Close and Yew Greave Crescent. As a result there is partial survival and fragmentary legibility of the type of historic landscape which is preserved in the fields immediately to the north of this polygon. Before development the landscape of this polygon was characterised by semi regular piecemeal enclosure similar to that associated with a heritage of open field cultivation, however Scurfield's reconstruction of the 1637 Harrison survey (Scurfield, 1986) suggests that these plots had already been separated from the open fields by this date.
