Now farmed mostly as large scale agglomerated units following later twentieth century boundary removal and over ploughing. This land is bisected by the 'Frickley Beck' close by to which is the church of the former medieval village of Frickley (Beresford 1953) known from Domesday and still operating a three field system in the 15th century but all but vanished by 1650. The enclosure of the open fields was probably the final act of this depopulation with the large but irregular enclosures of this area possibly representing enclosures created for sheep farming.
