A series of sports grounds, mostly belonging to the University of Sheffield but also including the Lydgate Lane sports ground. The sports grounds are first depicted on the 1976 OS map and were probably constructed in the mid 1960s. They were constructed over a series of dams built in the early 19th century to supply Sheffield's rapidly expanding population. The dams were built following the enclosure of Crookesmoor common. Legibility is fragmentary as some earthworks pertaining to the dams are still extant.
