A well-preserved burial mound is located near the junction of Queensway and High Street Green.

Prior to recent tidying of the site, there was a plaque reading "'TUMULUS' "Within this enclosure, is a Round Barrow or Burial Mound from the early Bronze Age Circa 1700 BC".

[1] Old maps show the pre development area to have been agricultural with some small-scale brick making.

[2] Like other neighbourhoods in the new town, it is centered on a local shopping centre called 'The Heights', which opened in 1962.

Many street names in the district have a distinctive astronomical connection, thus, Jupiter Drive, Neptune Drive, Apollo Way, Uranus Road, Pluto Rise, Saturn Way, Mercury Walk and Martian Avenue.
