A conifer woodland to the south of Oughtibridge. The plantation is marked as such on the 1st edition OS map of 1855. Some of the plantation to the north has been lost to housing development. Scurfield suggests that the area was wooded in 1637 and called Middle wood. It seems likely that the management regime would have been similar to that of Beeley wood on the opposite side of the River Don- a spring wood managed for coppicing replaced by conifers in the 19th century. Legibility of the previous landscape is fragmentary as the area is still wooded.
