 In 1814 the land was enclosed and divided up into a number of parcels, the greater part of the site going to John Baptist Shackle.Two large gravel pits were present on the site at this time (occupying 7 and 5 acres), in areas subsequently occupied by formal public open space.It is likely that the remnant hedges along the edges of these areas were enclosure hedges, which would have been planted around this time.
