Possible position for early settlement at Silkstone Common. A farmstead is mentioned at Hill Top in 1704 (www.a2a.org.uk Ref:CR489) but it seems like a likely place on the edge of the commons for an earlier farmstead to exist. The buildings in this polygon, which were built between 1851 and 1892 mapping, are likely to be related to the nearby colliery possibly houses of supervisors because they are larger than the terraces along Ben Bank Road (HSY6389).
