This polygon details an important open space in the centre of Doncaster and lies within the Town Moor conservation area. Currently used as playing fields and recreation grounds, it occupies the site of the former open town field. The town field was farmed as an open field from at least the medieval period. The 1894 OS plan depicts thin strips or furlongs which are differentiated by occasional stones marking the width. The survival of unconsolidated strips as an open field at this time was very rare. An attempt was made to submit the town field for parliamentary enclosure in 1814 but this was opposed by Doncaster Corporation. The last farmer quit in the mid 1920s. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary as only the name remains.
