Small nursery built on an area of early enclosure made up of small irregular fields. The 1851 map of this field marks 'Tenters'. These are used for stretching and drying cloth after it returns from the fulling mill. These structures are often associated with weaving cottages (Raistrick 1986, 97) but in this case they probably belong to the adjacent fulling and scribbling mill (HSY267). At this time there was very little in the way of settlement in Millhouse Green, which was yet to become a village. The nursery site is bounded by Manchester Road, the River Don and Lee Dike these features would have enclosed the earlier fields so legibility is fragmentary. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region).
