Currently vacant and unenclosed land following the demolition and redevelopment of Ashleigh School (formerly the Hurlfield School for Girls). This school was to the north west of this area on the site of Ashleigh Drive. The school was built between 1949 and 1973 and demolished between 1985 and 1999. Historic maps show that before construction of tee school and the removal of field boundaries in order to create an area for recreation these fields were enclosed by large semi regular sinuous boundaries. The pattern is distinct from both that of the parliamentary enclosure of Gleadless Common and the probable town fields of Gleadless village to the south. Possibly post-medieval piecemeal enclosure of the margins of Gleadless Common. Fragmentary legibility possible of traces of the removed field boundaries.
