An area of scrubland that is undergoing transformation into a public park. Ordnance survey maps from 1905 until 1923 mark the area as a plantation. After that the area is shown as sparsely wooded. The 1st edition OS map of 1855 shows a series of coke ovens, which are marked as ruined. These are likely to be early in date (Bayliss, pers. Comm.) and are shown on the old series county mapping dating to the late 1830s. The coke ovens were exposed during works for the park but have been reburied. They were in good condition. The Fairbanks plan of 1795 shows the area as fields with the characteristics of piecemeal enclosure. Prior to fields, the area was on the eastern and southern edge of Sheffield Park, which was a medieval deer park. Legibility is zero.
