Regenerated scrubland. Formerly occupied by transport infrastructure concerned with the movement of coal from Manvers Main Colliery in the shape of the Dearne and Dove Canal and several railway junctions. Prior to this the area was agricultural. The fields were probably enclosed by the Wath Upon Dearne parliamentary enclosure award of 1814. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary - the Roman Ridge linear earthwork runs through the polygon and it is likely that this earthwork was incorporated as a field boundary during the medieval period.
