An area of fields with very regular and straight boundaries indicative of parliamentary enclosure. They were probably created as part of the Wadsley & Loxley Chase enclosure award of 1789. The fields are populated with scattered farmsteads. The name 'Loxley Chase' persists and recalls the former use as a hunting ground for the De Wadsley family. It was probably created from moorland at the same time that the sub manor of Wadsley was created, in the late 13th century. Legibility is fragmentary as only the name persists. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence).
