Greenshaw Wood lies within the public park known as Rosehill Park East. A strip of oak woodland formerly ran in a crescent from the site of the present St Helier Hospital south to a larger tract of woodland depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map as Been Hill. This strip of woodland was felled before 1815 and Been Hill became the new suburb of Benhilton. Greenshaw Wood is all that remains of these former ancient woods showing up with exactly the same boundaries as today on the Ordnance survey Map of 1866.
