From https://www.fdean.gov.uk/media/3820/littledean-parish-plan.pdf

"Outside the village the parish contains scattered dwellings including Dean Hall, by the Newnham road, which for over two centuries belonged to the Pyrke family and was the principal residence in Littledean. In the 17th and 18th centuries several small settlements were formed by squatter development on waste ground just outside the Forest, notably at Callamore in the west but also on Dean hill in the southeast and at Waterend Lane (formerly Waterlane End) on the old Mitcheldean road in the north."

and

"At Waterend Lane five squatter cottages belonged to Littledean in 1679. Further north a homestead built by Richard Taylor (d. 1712) became known as the Greenway."

Greenway is clearly marked on old maps so that's a good reference.
