These two fields are depicted as already enclosed on the enclosure award of 1778. They are shown as belonging to John Harvey Esq.., the Lord of the Manor of Finniningley at that time. The name 'Poors Land' is generally held to refer to the quality of the land for agricultural purposes. At the top of the hill was a reported moated site or possible motte & bailey. All physical trace of this has been ploughed out but sub-surface archaeological remains may survive. Legibility of the former landscape is uncertain as there is too little evidence to suggest a previous character type.
