Modern surveyed enclosure to the south of Kexbrough which was reinstated as agricultural land after opencast coal mining which caused the alteration of field boundaries between 1938 and 1965 mapping. These modern enclosures have been cut through by the motorway which was built in 1968. The mining would have started after 1942 which was when the Directorate of Opencast Coal was created (Gray 1976, 41). The previous piecemeal enclosure probably enclosed former medieval open fields. These may have been associated with the settlement at Darton. There is fragmentary legibility of the former enclosed landscapes as the route of the older roads are retained.
