Once part of Ashenground Wood but this small section was separated by the construction of the railway in 1841 and deemed to be part of neighbouring Catt's Wood until the late 1960s when OS maps began marking this section of woodland as Ashenground Park. The Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods have now renamed the remnant of woodland as Ashenground Wood. The orange on the boggy ground denotes the existence of iron ore deposits.
