Recreation ground and allotment gardens on the site of Slack Hill Brickworks. Prior to the brickworks this was Slack Hill coal mine which was operating in 1872 (Gill 2007b). The land was part of an area of piecemeal enclosure that probably of early date as these irregular fields are near to the original Saxon settlement of Barnsley (Elliot 2002, 26-7). There is no legibility of the past landscape.
