The area now appears to be regenerated scrubland on the edge of a housing estate and school playing fields. The 1st edition OS map of 1855 shows a partly wooded area and a sandstone quarry. The quarry expanded over time and on the 1935 OS map is marked as a ganister quarry. It is shown as disused in 1953. Prior to quarrying, the area is marked as 'Stannington Wood'. The Scurfield (1986) reconstruction of Harrison's 1637 survey suggests the area was wooded but held in common and the area left by 1855 may have been the last remnants of Stannington Wood. Legibility is invisible.
