This area, now divided into just 8 units with an average field size of c.37 hectares (and some much larger than this) is shown on the 1851 6 inch mapping as enclosed by a mixture of sinuous strip enclosure (to the west) and more angular enclosure to the east (possibly dating to the Parliamentary Award for Brodsworth of 1830 (English 1985, 25). It is likely that this area was formerly open arable fields. Fragmentary legibility of earlier enclosure features.
