This polygon consists of three ancient woodlands-Barber Wood, Walkworth Wood and Ockley Bottom. Brick Kiln Plantation is also included as it is shown as wooded on the 1st Edition OS map of 1854 though it is likely of less antiquity than the others. The woods probably lay just outside the boundary of Kimberworth Deer park. There is evidence for extensive exploitation of the woodlands in the form of mining, quarrying and coppicing. In 1777, they were incorporated into the landscaped grounds of Thundercliffe Grange. The council acquired Ockley Bottom and Walkworth Wood in 1929 and Barber Wood in 1944. Legibility of the former uses is partial as the areas are still wooded and contain many features such as earthworks and bell pits.
