Area of large fields which have seen some boundary loss since 1851. Fields probably used for sheep pasture which was an important part of the economy. The fields are large with fairly straight boundaries but probably predate the parliamentary awards in the area as the land is shown as enclosed on Jefferys 1775 map. There are areas of extant ridge and furrow in the polygon indicating that the land was used for arable in the medieval period but there is no clear area of open fields so legibility is fragmentary. It is uncertain which settlement these open fields would have been associated with. The area is outside of the historic parish boundaries of Penistone and fell within Hoyland Swaine. There are no substantial settlements within Hoyland Swaine nearby.
