First depicted on 2002 landline data this private cul-de-sac estate was constructed on the site of former 'Ironstone Pits' shown on the 1891 OS. These pits are not depicted on the 1851 6 inch mapping and probably relate to late 19th century mining of ironstone to feed the blast furnaces of the adjacent Thorncliffe works of Newton Chambers and Co. The 1851 OS shows curving strip enclosures possibly representing the piecemeal private enclosure of open field. No legibility of earlier types.
