South of these, on the other side of the track, were three more rectangular closes. At the north end of the central close there was a small building in 1746 which had gone by 1840.
The north side of the track was edged at its west end by the southernmost of the closes along the east side of the green, and at its east end by two more closes extending down the slope.
