Modern housing estates rapidly expanding the small village of Hoyland Swaine and first depicted on 1989 maps. There has been some infilling of the area right up to 2003 when some of the homes were still under construction. Built on piecemeal enclosure of what may have been the town fields of the medieval village. The houses fit within the field boundaries of the piecemeal enclosure but over right most of the boundaries within the housing estates. There is good survival of Hamper Lane which runs through the housing as a foot path so legibility of the former landscape is partial.
