In 1929 the Smokeless Fuel Company, which owned a large chemical works with coke ovens south west of this polygon, built a Coalite (low temperature) works on this site. This carbonised coal at a low temperature to produce smokeless fuel oil. The site was worked until 1961 but structures remained until 1983. (Barugh Green and District Local History Group 1989). The current wet meadows provide no legibility of the industrial site but there is partial legibility of the pre industrial assarted fields. The north edge of the polygon runs along a remaining segment of the Barnsley Canal which closed in 1953 (Glister 1996, 219).
