Site assessment Known assets/character:

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded to the immediate southeast of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and some of the southern buffer zone as enclosed land, comprising fields with regular and straight boundaries formed by the enclosure of Edlington Common in 1815. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include agglomerated fields, regenerated scrubland, a housing estate and an artificial lake.

An area of historic landfill exists at the northern end of the buffer zone, a disused railway line at Common Road and Snake Lane. No further information is given for this record.

The site is a triangular parcel of land located to the west of New Edlington.

Cartographic/historic land use assessment:

The site was located within two fields on the 1854 map. All of the site boundaries were extant by this time, with field boundaries to the south and west and Howbeck’s Dike to the east. An internal east-west field boundary was present at the south end of the site, creating the two fields, although this had been removed by 1892 to create one triangular field. No change had occurred on the site by the 1994 map.

In 1854 the area surrounding the site to the east was enclosed fields, and to the west predominantly a large open space, named Conisbrough Common. By 1893 many field boundaries had been removed at the eastern end of the buffer zone, and Conisbrough Common to the west had been largely divided into straight, regular fields. By 1930 the LNER railway line had been constructed to the north of the site, although this had been removed by 1983. By 1962 a clay pit was present to the northwest of the site, and by 1972 houses and a school had been established to the east of the site. By 1982, housing butted up to the south-eastern site boundary. To the north, south and west of the site, the area remained undeveloped on the 1994 map.

Survival:

The site was part fields which were established in 1815, and has remained undeveloped since. Arable cultivation may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the plough zone the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.

Further investigations:

Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary:

Aerial photographs from 2002 show little change on the site from the 1994 map, although the housing estate to the east of the site had extended right up to the entirety of the eastern site boundary. The remainder of the buffer zone remains undeveloped, and the site currently comprises arable land.



There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Summary

Within site Within buffer zone Scheduled Monument - - Listed Building - - SMR record/event - - Cropmark/Lidar evidence Yes Yes Cartographic features of interest No No Estimated sub-surface disturbance Low n/a






There are no SMR records within the site or the buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records post-medieval ridge and furrow within the site itself, and also to the south of the buffer zone. Also within the buffer zone, a medieval or post-medieval ditch and bank is recorded to the south of the site, and air raid shelters to the north.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and some of the southern buffer zone as enclosed land, comprising fields with regular and straight boundaries formed by the enclosure of Edlington Common in 1815. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include agglomerated fields, modern housing and a school.

The site is a single field, located at the southern end of New Edlington, bounded to the east by the B6376.


The site is shown on the 1854 map as part of a large field. The northern site boundary was extant as a field boundary, the western site boundary was extant as Howbeck’s Dike, and the eastern site was extant as a road, the current B6376. By 1892 a field boundary had been created within the field, which is now the current southern site boundary, and the site was a single field, as it remains today.

In 1854 the area surrounding the site was made up of irregular fields, with Edlington Lane (the current B6376) to the east and Howbeck’s Dike to the west. By 1893 many field boundaries had been removed within the buffer zone, creating larger fields. By 1956 a school had been created to the north-east of the site, and housing had begun to be constructed to the east of the site. This was complete by 1962, and spread throughout the entirety of the eastern buffer zone and beyond. By 1972, houses had been constructed immediately to the north of the site, along Hillside Drive, which had extended to the north by 1982.

Survival:

The site has been fields since 1815, and arable cultivation may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits. Recent aerial photographs show no evidence for the ridge and furrow earthworks recorded from 1940s aerial photographs, suggesting these are likely to have been removed by more recent cultivation. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown. Buried remains associated with post-medieval ridge and furrow are likely to be considered to be of low local archaeological significance.


Aerial photographs from 1999 show little change on the site from the 1994 map, although a footpath had been established running from the southeast to the northwest corners of the site, which had been removed by 2008.



The photographs show the site as arable land. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment

Known assets/character:

There are no SMR records within the site. Two findspots and three monuments are recorded within the buffer

zone, all but one within Edlington Wood to the east of the site. The one findspot not within the wood is of a

Roman coin from a garden to the northeast of the site. Within the wood are the findspot of a Mesolithic flint, a

possible Bronze Age cist, an early Iron Age or medieval earthwork (also a Scheduled Monument), and an Iron Age

to Romano-British cropmark of unspecified form. Two events are recorded within the buffer zone to the

immediate north of the site, comprising a geophysical survey and subsequent evaluation at Edlington School,

which did not identify any archaeological features.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Within the northeast edge of the buffer

zone, the Scheduled Monument of an Iron Age or medieval double dyke earthwork runs on an east-west

alignment through Edlington Wood.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any

features within the site. Within the buffer zone, Iron Age to Romano-British enclosures and field systems have

been recorded to the south and west of the site. Post-medieval ridge and furrow has also been recorded at the

western end of the buffer zone.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern buffer zone as

agglomerated fields. Removal of field boundaries in the second half of the 20th

century has resulted in the loss of

the former character of strip fields enclosed from open field. Additional character areas within the buffer zone

include various housing types, schools, ancient woodland and surveyed enclosures.

The site covers the northern part of three fields, located at the southern end of New Edlington.


The site was part of a number of strip fields on the 1854 OS map. Edlington Lane formed the western site

boundary, and the eastern edge of the site was the boundary between the fields and Edlington Wood. A footpath

ran through the site on a northeast to southwest alignment. A track called Little Cockhill Lane ran on an

approximate north-south alignment towards the western end of the site, but had largely been removed by 1892

when it was shown as a field boundary. By 1961, part of the northern site boundary had been established

through the construction of housing to the immediate north of the site. By 1973, the majority of the internal field

boundaries within the site had been removed, and a school had been built to the immediate north of the site,

forming the remainder of the northern site boundary. There was little change on the 1994 map.

In 1854 the area surrounding the site was made up primarily of strip fields. To the southwest of the site was the

core of Old Edlington, and to the east of the site was Edlington Wood. The area to the north of the site was called

Edlington Hill in 1893. By 1956 houses had begun to be constructed to the immediate north of the site, which

were complete by 1961, along with the White Greyhound pub which had been built immediately to the

northwest of the site. By 1973 a school had been built to the immediate north of the eastern two thirds of the

site.

Survival:

The site was part of a strip field system which gradually became agglomerated fields throughout the 20th

century.

Arable cultivation may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the plough zone, the

potential for the survival of previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to

high. Archaeological finds and features within the buffer zone, of Mesolithic to Romano-British date, suggest that

similar remains may exist within the site, though no significant archaeology was recorded in a nearby evaluation

at Edlington School.




Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be of Local to

Regional archaeological significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Note: The northern part of Site 054 is also covered by Site 328.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar

Summary:

Aerial photographs from 1999 show that the site is located across the northern part of three fields. These field

boundaries appear to be recent as they were not present on the 1994 or earlier maps. All three fields were in use

for arable cultivation. The southern site boundary is not a physical feature on the ground. There is no available

Lidar data for the site.

at Edlington School

In January 2005 a geophysical survey was undertaken on the

playing fields at Edlington School. Large areas of magnetic

disturbance as well as isolated anomalies caused by ferrous

material were present on most of the site, which are

considered to be modern in origin. A number of weak linear

trends were observed but it was not possible to establish

whether these are archaeological, modern or geological.

Desk-based assessment indicated that the site lay in close

proximity to a variety of significant archaeological features,

mostly within Edlington Woods to the east. The features

include artefacts of Upper Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Bronze

Age date, and the earthwork remains of a Romano-British

settlement. Archaeological evaluation within the school site

did not identify the weak linear anomalies recorded in the

previous geophysical survey.

There are no SMR records within the site or the buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded to the immediate south and east of the site. Medieval to post-medieval earthworks have also been recorded to the southeast of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the buffer zone as enclosed land, comprising fields with regular and straight boundaries formed by the enclosure of Edlington Common in 1815. Legibility of the former unenclosed landscape is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include agglomerated fields, a housing estate and a school.

The site is a single field, located at the western end of New Edlington.


The site was shown on the 1854 map as a single field. All of the current site boundaries were extant by this time. By 1892 the eastern site boundary is show as a drain, part of Howbeck’s Dike. The southern site boundary had also become a drain by 1930.

In 1854 the area surrounding the site was fields, with an area at the western end of the buffer zone part of a large open space named Conisbrough Common. Edlington Lane was extant to the east of the site, and a fishpond was located at the very southern extreme of the buffer zone. By 1892 many field boundaries had been removed, and Conisbrough Common to the west had been largely divided into straight, regular fields. An old shaft was located immediately outside the western site boundary at this time. By 1973 houses had been built to the immediate north-east of the site, along Hillside Drive, and by 1980 this housing development had spread significantly to the north. With the exception of this development, the vast majority of the buffer zone remained undeveloped on the 1994 map.

Survival:

The site was part of fields which were established in 1815, and has remained undeveloped since. Arable cultivation may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the plough zone the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Allocation Reference: 060 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land East of Wyke Gate Road, Thorne



The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event is recorded within the buffer zone, archaeological evaluation at Thorne Grammar School, which identified remains associated with medieval to post-medieval agricultural use and several 17th- to 18th-century pits.

No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are located within the site or buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, though post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded in the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as surveyed enclosure associated with the Parliamentary Enclosure of North Common in 1825. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Industrial and Sports Ground to the north; Planned Estate (Social Housing) to the west and southwest; and Enclosed Land to the south, east and northeast.

The site is currently a single arable field bounded to the north by Church Balk and to the west by Wike Gate Road.


The 1853 OS map depicts the site as subdivided into five fields, with some boundary loss by 1892. This layout remained unchanged to the present day.

Within the buffer zone the 1853 map shows structures relating to Clap Gate and Clap Gate Farm extending east away from Clap Gate Road. The remainder of the buffer is depicted as narrow strips of enclosed agricultural land. By 1906 Clap Gate and Clap Gate Farm had been renamed The Willows. Moor House Farm had also been established by this date, with a small orchard, adjacent to Moor Edges Road (previously Clap Gate Road). From 1962 housing development began to encroach along Wyke Gate Road immediately west of the site. This was complete by 1967 and the playing fields east of Thorne Grammar School had been established, amalgamating a number of fields within the buffer zone to the northwest of the site. By 1975, a number of factory units were under construction immediately to the north of the site, now an industrial estate. Further housing had been built immediately to the south of the site by 1987.

Survival:

The continued use of the site as arable may have caused some truncation of sub-surfaces deposits, though below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Trial trenching at Thorne Grammar School illustrated the potential for the preservation of buried archaeology. At the school the archaeological resource was mainly associated with medieval to 18th-century agriculture.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with medieval to post-medieval agriculture is likely to be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.




Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site under arable cultivation. In 2002 the site was subdivided into three fields, but by 2008 these divisions had been removed, creating a single large field. The removed boundaries survive as cropmarks. Within the buffer zone the available coverage indicates the location of similarly removed boundaries as cropmarks within the modern pattern of enclosure. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

ESY257 Archaeological Investigations at Thorne Grammar School

In 2004 a geophysical survey and a programme of trial trenching was undertaken at Thorne Grammar School. The results of the geophysical survey detected groups of linear anomalies probably reflecting traces of ridge and furrow ploughing and a former field system. The trial trenching confirmed that the anomalies detected in the geophysical survey related to the medieval/post-medieval agricultural use of the site in the form of ridge and furrows, field boundaries and drains. A number of pits and linear features dating from the 17/18th century in the south-west of the site were discovered.

Allocation Reference: 068 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Former Coal Depot, Pastures Road

Area (Ha): 2.92 NGR (centre): SE 4930 0024 Settlement: Mexborough


The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Four findspots, three monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer. These comprise a number of flint artefacts of prehistoric date found to the north of the site in the Ings area, and cropmark features relating to Iron Age to Roman enclosures, trackways and field boundaries, also to the north of the site. The event related to geophysical survey and trial trenching on land (recorded as historic landfill) to the north of Pastures Road, where remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement was recorded.

There are no Listed Buildings or Scheduled Monuments within the site and buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records areas of ridge and furrow within the buffer zone to the northeast of the site and probable Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches to the northwest (later subject to archaeological evaluation).

Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as reclaimed coal mine, where the former landscape character was comprehensively altered by the tipping of colliery spoil here from the nearby Denaby Main and Cadeby Main Collieries. Since the closure of these industries the area has been reclaimed mostly for use as a nature reserve. Further character zones recorded within the buffer comprise agglomerated fields, regenerated scrubland on the site of former industrial premises, an area of common land, and late 19th- to late 20th-century housing, a leisure centre and sewage works.

Historic landfill data records the site as being entirely covered by a infilled ground, recorded as NCB Land south of Pastures Road. Within the buffer, an area to the north of Pastures Road is recorded as domestic, commercial and industrial landfill, with a further area to the recorded as a former brickworks quarry.

The site is currently utilised as mixed retail and industrial storage. The majority of the site consists of hardstanding supporting three units, one of which is a restaurant.


The 1854 OS map depicts the site as multiple irregularly-enclosed fields immediately north of the Mexbrough canal. The northern extent of the site was marked by Pastures Road. By 1892 the pattern of enclosure within the site was lost, replaced by wetland, and the 1930 map shows the majority of the site as submerged land. By 1975, a refuse tip (probably colliery spoil) was shown extending into the eastern edge of the site, with this activity ceasing by 1980 when the site was shown as a field.

Within the buffer the 1854 map showed the area as irregular fields, with the River Don running through the southern edge. A sewage works was shown to the northwest in 1892, which had expanded to the north and south by 1930. To the south, between the River Don and the Mexborough Canal, the ground works associated to Denaby Main Colliery (established by 1892) had greatly expanded with the introduction of a rail network and structures. Spoil tipping from the colliery had extended into the eastern part of the buffer by 1956, encroaching on the eastern edge of the site by 1975. By 1967 the Denaby Main Colliery had also been redeveloped.

Survival:

The site is recorded as historic landfill, which would suggest a negligible potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains; however, archaeological evaluation on a similar site to the north of Pastures Road, also with recorded historic landfill, revealed remains of Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural activity. No cropmark features have been recorded within the site itself, but this may be due to the land use at the time of the photography being unsuitable for the formation of cropmarks. Historic mapping shows colliery refuse encroaching on the eastern edge of the site, but no evidence for deep excavations within the main part of the site. On the basis of available evidence, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is unknown.




Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as utilised as retail/industrial storage. Within the buffer to the north the 2002 aerial coverage identifies a series of cropmarks, possibly relating to earlier patterns of enclosure. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, though post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded in the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as Drained Wetland, drained and enclosed from the medieval hunting park of Hatfield Chase by 1639. There is no legibility of the hunting chase but the early 17th-century drainage infrastructure survives across much of the character zone. Character zones within the buffer include the well-preserved 17th- to 19th-century enclosure landscape of the Thorne Cables to the northeast, which retains many narrow strip fields shown in 1825, as well as modern residential and educational zones to the west.

The site currently comprises two fields, and has been in arable use from at least the mid-19th century.


The 1853 OS map depicts the site and buffer zone as predominantly enclosed agricultural land. The site contained five fields at that date. Between 1906 and 1932 the fields had been amalgamated into three enclosures.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed Wike Gate Road on a north-south alignment to the west, and the South Yorkshire Railway (later the London & Northeastern Railway) on an east-west alignment across the southern part. The remnant of North Common was identifiable, though this had been enclosed into smaller fields by 1892. The 1853 map showed the Stainforth and Keadby Canal winding through the buffer zone, south of the railway, and two cottages or farms were shown along Clap Gate Road, one identified as High Bridge. This was renamed Nun Moor Farm by 1892. Urban development in the west of the buffer zone is first recorded in 1962, with a school built in the northwest area by 1975. The housing development adjacent to the site had been established by 1987.

Survival:

The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs depicts the site as two sub-rectangular fields orientated northwest to southeast, under arable cultivation. The locations of earlier subdivisions within each field are preserved as cropmarks. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR records two monuments and three events within the site. The site and buffer lie within the southern limits of the Doncaster Pottery Production Area, within which extensive Roman pottery kilns have been recorded. Archaeological investigations in association with a water pipeline were carried out at the northern end of the site, with a geophysical survey and archaeological monitoring undertaken. The geophysical survey did not record any archaeological features, due to modern obstacles and disturbance, and no features were recorded during the watching brief, which only covered the northwest corner of the site.

The SMR records another eight monuments, one findspot and three further events within the buffer. These included Mesolithic flints recovered from the bank of the River Torne, wooden piles from a possible Roman bridge, two Roman roads, one the supposed route of a major military road from Lincoln to York via Doncaster, and a branch leading off this running along the route of Warning Tongue Lane. Roman activity has also been recorded as further pottery kilns and associated settlement remains, the latter recorded as cropmarks, artefacts and excavated remains. Archaeological evaluations at Warning Tongue Lane revealed an Iron Age to Romano British settlement directly to the west of the site, though trial trenching at Hayfield Farm, to the southeast of the site, did not reveal any deposits of clear archaeological significance.

One Scheduled Monument lies within the western part of the site and part of the buffer, associated with preserved buried remains of Roman pottery kilns. No listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a 20th-century bomb crater covering much of the central part of the site, and banks associated with a firing range at the northern end of the site. Post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded in the northern part of the buffer, as well as two ditches denoting Iron Age field boundaries to the south.

The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies that the site lies with an area of enclosed, drained wetland known as ‘The Carrs’, which has the River Torne and Mother Drain along the southern boundary. The land was improved and drained from a wet woodland environment in the 17th century. The buffer incorporates further areas of drained wetland to the north and east, and a park/leisure centre to the south, and residential housing in the west.

The site is currently an area of rough grassland bisected by a trackway and bounded to the north by a railway line.


The 1854 OS map depicts the site as part of three fields, with the southern boundary formed by the Mother Drain, running just north of the Torne and the western boundary by a belt of trees. The southern field was shown as rough pasture, and a lane ran through the site from northwest to southeast. By 1892 the Great Eastern Joint Railway had been constructed along the northern boundary of the site. The 1930 map showed that the western field boundary had been removed and housing was under construction just to the west. The southern part of the site was shown as rough pasture at that date. The current western boundary was formed by 1962, by the edge of housing plots, with the area south of the housing being open land with some trees. An unlabelled building was shown to the north of the track at the northern side of the site. No changes were shown within the site by 1993.

Within the buffer, the area was mainly fields, with the old course of the River Torne shown as a dashed line running from west to northeast through the buffer, close to the canalised new route of the river and Mother Drain. Whin Hill Plantation was shown at the west edge of the buffer. The 1938 OS map showed the beginning of the development of Winn Hill Plantation, indicated by further land division and the erection of buildings. By 1961 larger scale development was evident as the area took on its current form.



Survival:

The western half of the site is a Scheduled Monument, indicating that there is a high potential for significant archaeology to survive within the site. Archaeological investigations undertaken to the south and west of the site also indicate a high potential for the preservation of buried remains. The Scheduled Monument and other features recorded in the site and buffer relate to Doncaster’s Roman pottery industry, associated settlement and transport infrastructure.


Given the evidence for extensive buried archaeological remains on this site, further consideration of the impact on these would be required to establish whether there was capacity for housing on this site. Permission is highly unlikely to be granted to develop the western half of this site, which is a Scheduled Monument.

Significance:

Half of the site is a Scheduled Monument, of National archaeological significance. Further remains outside the Scheduled area associated with the Roman pottery industry and settlement could be of Regional to National significance depending on their nature, condition and extent.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The site is currently open grassland with farm tracks running through the middle and along the southern border. It is bounded on the northern edge by a railway track, on the southern edge by the Mother Drain and to the west by a housing estate. The 2002 aerial photograph showed that a farmhouse and outbuildings had been built in the easterly corner of the site. Lidar data does not show any features of likely archaeological origin. An area of sloping, possibly disturbed ground is located at the southwest corner, near to large ponds probably associated with sand and gravel quarrying to the south of the boundary.

ESY347 Archaeological Evaluation at Warning Tongue Lane

In February 1994 a geophysical survey was conducted at Warning Tongue Lane. A number of anomalies were detected with an area of low resistance probably resulting from a pit feature.

ESY908 Archaeological Monitoring and Trial Trenching at Doncaster Water Pipeline, South Yorkshire

Excavations at two sites along the route of the pipeline revealed ditches and trackways corresponding to cropmarks of Iron Age to Romano-British field systems. A third site at Kilham Farm close to the site of Roman pottery kilns also revealed probable field ditches. The ditches excavated form part of a locally, if not regionally important complex of cropmarks to the east of Doncaster. The excavations identified features not visible on aerial photographs. Despite an almost complete absence of artefactual and environmental evidence from the features, excavations provided an insight into the use and re-use of Iron Age and Romano-British field systems in the region.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the northeast end of the buffer zone, a malt house of c.1900. One event is also recorded in the buffer, which is related to building recording of the malt house.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded at the western end of the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as plantation woodland, probably dating to the laying out of the ornamental grounds of a large house 'Sandall Grove', shown on the 1851 OS map. Within the buffer zone, to the north, is an area of piecemeal enclosure, which although compromised by the removal of some boundaries, retains enough irregular hedged boundaries to suggest its pre-parliamentary enclosure origin. In the western end of the buffer zone is an area of modern private housing, and to the east is an area of modern social housing and a sports ground. To the south is a small industrial area. Legibility of previous landscape characters within the buffer zone is highly fragmentary and limited due to the extent of modern development.

An area of historic landfill is present to the northwest of the site, recorded as the Moor Lane Landfill Site. No further information is given for this record.

The site is currently a single plot of land with heavy tree cover. A railway line runs along the eastern site boundary, with roads to the north and field boundaries to the south and west.


In 1854, the site is recognisable as it is today, with the Great Northern Railway running along the eastern site boundary, Moor Lane along the northern site boundary, and field boundaries to the south and west. The site was marked as Park Plantation and appeared to contain two ponds, which had been infilled by 1892. Also by this time, the site had been cleared of trees and was shown as rough pasture. It was shown as a field by 1906, but as an unenclosed area of rough pasture within the park by 1930. By 1962, the northwest boundary had been reinstated. In 1982, it was again shown as open, and as scrubland.

Within the buffer zone, the 1854 map showed parkland associated with Sandall Grove to the west of the site, and the plantation within the site appears to have been part of the edge of the park. probably also screening the railway line to the immediate southeast in the view from the house. Moor Lane, Brecks Lane and Doncaster Road were all extant at this time. A plantation was located immediately to the northeast of the site and a rectory was shown to the south. By 1892, a lodge had been constructed immediately outside the south-western corner of the site. By 1906 the now Grade II listed malthouse had been constructed at the north-eastern end of the buffer zone. Housing had been built to the east of the railway by 1930, and a recreation ground was shown to the north, which by 1962 was heavily landscaped and included a rugby and football ground. By 1948, a couple of railway branch lines ran through the park, one leading to Moor Lane to the immediate north of the site, the other to an area close to the canal, both linking to the main railway line to the south of Sandall Lane. The purpose of these lines is unclear. The 1962 map shows on the northwest line, and pools are shown near its end, suggesting it may have been associated with unrecorded wartime quarrying. The line had been removed by 1982. The 1956 map showed works buildings at the southwest edge of the buffer, possibly associated with the Don Glassworks just outside of the buffer. By 1980 Kirk Sandall Station had been established on the railway line to the south of the site, and a little further south several industrial buildings and factories were present at this time.

Survival:

Two ponds were shown within the site in 1854, which are likely to have impacted on the preservation of sub-surface remains. Tree roots and the construction of the adjacent railway line may also have caused some damage



to buried deposits. The potential for preservation of archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to low.



Significance:

Unknown.


Google Earth images show the site with heavy tree cover from 2002 onwards. Significant development had occurred in the western half of the buffer zone by 2002, with the construction of a new housing estate on the former parkland. Lidar data shows uneven ground associated with the trees, and no sign of the former ponds.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Post-medieval to modern limestone quarries were recorded within the buffer zone to the immediate east of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields. This land, agglomerated between 1966 and 1988, is shown on earlier Ordnance Survey mapping as long enclosures possibly resulting from consolidation of furlongs of an open field. In general, there is no legibility of the earlier landscape character; the boundaries of the site itself, however, have not altered since at least 1854. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Valley Floor Meadows, Private Housing Estate, Agglomerated Fields, Villas/Detached Housing, Plantation and School.

The site is currently an arable field bounded to the north by Melton Road and to the west and south by Ings Lane.


The site was a field at the time of the 1854 OS map. No changes were shown within the site on Ordnance Survey maps produced up to 1980.

Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Sprotbrough Road, Ings Lane, a limestone quarry, a spring and a footpath. Newton Quarry had been extended into the buffer by 1930, while two LNER railway lines and Sprotbrough Junction were also marked at that date. Housing development had taken place by 1956, with further housing and Richmond Hills County Primary School built by 1961. Further housing development had taken place within the buffer by the time of the 1980 OS map.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1854. Arable cultivation may have caused some sub-surface truncation, but below the plough zone, the potential for the preservation of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as a field, in arable cultivation. The boundaries appear to be marked by lanes and a footpath. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site.

The SMR records one monument and one event within the site. The monument is a rectilinear enclosure of probable Iron Age to Roman date, recorded as a cropmark in the southeast part of the site, whilst the event was an archaeological evaluation at Hampole Lane Quarry that is recorded as extending into the western edge of the site. Three monuments and five events are recorded within the buffer zone. The monuments include two further cropmark sites similar to that within the site, and the remains of a Roman building found during excavations within the quarry. The events within the buffer all refer to pre-extractive archaeological investigations at the quarry, to the immediate west of the site.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site or buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records cropmarks relating to Iron Age/Romano-British land divisions and an enclosure within the buffer zone to the west. Three distinct area of ridge and furrow identified as earthworks are located within the west of the buffer zone, adjacent to the site. Within the buffer zone to the east a cropmark trackway has been identified along with a possible enclosure and fragments of early field boundaries. Within the site a further cropmark enclosure is recorded, again likely of Iron Age/Roman date and recorded on the SMR.

The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as part of an area of agglomerated fields consisting of large rationalised fields divided up into modern ploughing units. Boundaries to the south and north have slight S-curve characteristics indicating former open field landscape. Character zones within the buffer include Hazel Lane Quarry to the west, a sandstone quarry which was subject to major archaeological works prior to quarrying, with a Romano-British field system and building recorded. To the south is a zone of piecemeal enclosure pre-dating the early 19th century enclosure award plans. A further area of quarrying is recorded to the east.

The site is a field in agricultural use. The boundaries are mainly modern apart from the western edge, a sinuous hedgeline which forms part of a parliamentary ward boundary.


The 1854 OS map depicts that site as enclosed fields, a pattern that extends throughout the buffer zone. The S-curve characteristics retained in some of the fields is visible with the buffer zone to the north and northeast. The boundary along the western side of the site was shown as Hollins Lane, and formed a parish and parliamentary county boundary on the 1893 OS map. The site and buffer zone remained relatively unchanged until its depiction on the 1960-62 map when the pattern of enclosure had altered through amalgamation. By 1983 quarrying for sandstone had commenced to the southeast of the site.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use since the medieval period, with 20th-century arable cultivation likely to have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The archaeological investigations undertaken to the west of the site indicate that buried remains, though truncated, are likely to survive within the site, with a known enclosure in the southeast corner probably of Iron Age to Roman date. Further remains not identified as cropmarks may also survive within the site. The potential for buried archaeology within the site is therefore high.


Given the presence of known cropmark features within the site, and the proximity of excavated remains of Roman settlement and agricultural activity, further consideration of the impact on buried remains would be required to establish whether there was capacity for minerals extraction on this site.



Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural activity could be considered to be of Regional to Local significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the site as part of a field under arable cultivation. The gradual extension of the sandstone quarry to the west can be traced between 2002 and 2015. The preserved S-curved boundary along the western side of the site probably derived from piecemeal enclosure of a medieval open field remains in-situ, dividing the site from the quarry. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

ESY352 Archaeological Evaluation at Hazel Lane Quarry

In 2000 an archaeological evaluation undertaken at Hazel Lane Quarry indicated that the site has a long history of use from the prehistoric to modern period. Artefacts recovered from the surface included a prehistoric flint knife, Roman and Medieval pottery. In 2001 an archaeological evaluation revealed two archaeological features of uncertain date and a programme of fieldwalking recovered a number of mainly post-medieval artefacts as well as sherds of medieval and Romano-British pottery and some worked flint. Two archaeological features were excavated in Area C of the quarry.

A Roman stone building was discovered with painted wall plaster and possible hypocaust. A fieldwalking survey of the area in 2003 recovered 79 fragments of pottery dating from the Roman to the early modern periods as well as 58 fragments of brick and tile. Excavation in 2003 revealed a number of ditches, gullies and pits with three containing Roman pottery. In 2006 a further 3 ditches, 2 gullies and 12 pits were discovered, all probably dating to the Roman period.

The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site. Two events are recorded in the buffer zone. A coring survey was undertaken to identify any sub-surface deposits associated with raised ground that may have attracted settlement in the past. The survey identified that peat deposits did not extend into the survey area. Archaeological evaluation adjacent to Cossons Road did not identify any features of archaeological interest.

No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, though ridge and furrow cropmarks were recorded at the west side of the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and part of the buffer as Drained Wetland, enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1825, with no legibility of the former commons. The present boundaries are largely defined by the 19th-century drainage layout. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing).

The site is currently two fields, separated by Alexander Street. Both fields are rough grassland with hedged boundaries.


The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne Enclosure map. North Common Drain ran through part of the site in 1841, with Shepherd House Closes Drain marked on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Field boundaries, a footpath and several small ponds were the only features marked within the site on subsequent Ordnance Survey maps. The ponds were not shown after 1962. The 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1987.

Within the buffer zone, Lands End Road and North Common Drain were shown on the 1841 OS map. Alexandra Street was marked as ‘Lands End Lane’ at that date. Casson’s Road and High Trod Road, the present-day North Eastern Road, were shown in 1854, with the Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway constructed to the west of the site by 1892. This modified the course of North Common Drain in this part of the buffer zone. Thorne North Station, Railway Cottages and a housing development were also shown in 1892. A textile factory and an engineering works were shown in the southern part of the buffer zone by 1962, while housing developments took place between 1956 and 1971.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development

Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as two fields used as rough grassland. The smaller northern field has hedges along all four boundaries, whilst the larger southern field has hedges along the north, east and west boundaries. A number of pathways run through the southern field. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

ESY539 Bloom Hill, Thorne Moor

In November 2002 a programme of coring was conducted on land at Common Road in Bloom Hill. The deposit survey was carried out to identify any raised areas likely to have attracted early settlement or subsistence activity. The deposits encountered were mainly inorganic sand, silt and clay. Of particular interest was that no evidence for a continuation of the nearby Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits was encountered by this survey.

The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site. One findspot and one event are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspot is of a Bronze Age flint arrowhead, whilst the event was a coring survey undertaken to identify any areas of raised land which may have attracted prehistoric and later settlement. The survey identified the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no continuation of the Thorne Moor peat and gravel spurs into the area.

No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records ridge and furrow earthworks and cropmarks within the site and buffer zone, though no earthwork features are shown within the site on recent aerial images.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland and Private Housing Estate. The character within the southern half of the site and part of the buffer is defined as land enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, with no legibility of former common land. The present boundaries within this character area are largely defined by the 19th century drainage layout. The northern part of the site was also enclosed in 1825, with changes in the layout of drainage and subdivision between 1851 and 1891 in association with the construction of a new warping system. The legibility of the Parliamentary Enclosure field boundaries within the site is good. Only a small section of the 1970s housing along the southern edge of the site intrudes into the site area, comprising outbuildings to the rear of one property.

To the north and east of the site the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes.

The site currently comprises four small fields, in pasture use and bounded by hedgerows.


The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map, when North Common Drain crossed the northern part of the site. No change was shown within the site between 1854 and 1962, with Bloomhill Stud Farm established to the immediate south of the site between 1962 and 1991.

Within the buffer zone, North Common Drain, North Common Road and Marshland Road were extant by 1825. Mount Pleasant was marked on the 1841 OS map, with Bloom Hill Farm shown in 1854. North Common Drain had been modified by the construction of the Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway along the western site boundary by 1892. A Catholic church, a presbytery and housing developments were also shown within the buffer zone at that date. Little change had occurred by 1956 but a coal yard and a second church were shown in 1962, while further housing development had occurred by 1971. Bloomhill Stud Farm had been established immediately to the southwest of the site by 1991.

Survival:

The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 083 is a sub-site of larger site 150/276.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as scrub or rough pasture, with the 19th-century field boundaries marked by overgrown hedges. A field in the southern part of the site was sub-divided into a series of smaller, square plots between 2002 and 2008, probably fenced enclosures associated with the stud farm.

There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

The SMR records no monuments or events within the site or the buffer.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site or buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records fragmentary cropmarks relating to Iron Age to Romano-British field boundaries across the centre of the site. Similar cropmarks are also present within the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western side of the buffer as the putative extent of Hatfield medieval deer park, which retains the character of enclosure of the land following disparkment. To the east of the buffer, the site extends into an area characterised as the planned estate of Broadway (social housing), comprising inter-war social housing, probably related to the growth of the nearby Hatfield Colliery. Within the northern end of the buffer is another planned modern housing estate of The Oval.

The site is currently a single, irregularly shaped field utilised as grassland.


The 1855 OS map shows the site as three fields aligned north to south, with hedgerow boundaries. By 1893, the northern-most internal field boundary had been removed, creating a larger field to the north and a smaller field to the south within the site boundary. By 1972, the southern of the internal field boundaries had been removed, creating one large irregularly shaped field within the site boundary.

Within the buffer, the 1855 OS map shows little development, with fields comprising the majority of the buffer. The first development in the buffer zone had taken place by 1930, with the establishment of Broadway and some houses built off it. A building to the immediate southeast of the site was labelled ‘Club’, then by 1982 ‘Old People’s Home’. By 1962, development had occurred to the north of the site with The Oval estate. By 1992, Brightside Manor Farm was constructed to the south of the site, immediately outside the site boundary.

Survival:

The site is likely to have been under cultivation since at least the mid-19th century. This may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. Cropmarks of extensive Iron Age to Roman field systems and trackways have been recorded around the site, and extend into part of the site, suggesting there is a high potential for buried archaeology associated with the cropmarks.



Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems and activity could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance, depending on their nature, condition and extent of survival.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as a single field utilised as rough grassland, with intercutting tracks and footpaths. The site does not appear to have been used as arable land since at least 2002. Lidar data for the site shows very faint east-west linear features, which are likely to relate to relatively modern ploughing. The possible Iron Age to Romano-British field boundaries identified in aerial photographs do not



survive as earthworks.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site boundary. Within the buffer zone, one monument is recorded. Immediately to the north of the site, aligned approximately east-west, is the suggested route of a Roman road, which enters South Yorkshire in the southwest from Brough (Derby), travelling northeast towards the Roman fort at Templeborough and then towards Doncaster. Sheffield Road follows the course of the Roman road.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Within the buffer zone, one grade II listed building is present, the late 18th- to early 19th-century Red Lion public house to the northeast of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. In the buffer zone, levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded to the south, north and west of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site and part of north-eastern buffer zone as a modern industrial area, comprising mostly late 20th century industrial buildings across an area of former orchards and gardens. There is partial legibility of earlier boundary features and possibly fragments of the late 19th century Holywell Brewery. Within the buffer zone to the north is a variety of housing, with partial legibility of earlier road patterns and historic features. To the south is an area of enclosed land of medium sized fields with a semi-regular pattern. Other character types within the buffer zone include modern parkland, sports grounds, industrial complexes and landfill sites, which contain little and fragmentary legibility of former landscape types.

Historic landfill data records an area of landfill within the southern edge of the site, continuing southwest into the buffer, named Kearsley Lane. A further area of landfill is located at the eastern edge of the buffer zone, at the former Ashfield Quarry/Ashfield Brickworks.

The site currently houses several industrial buildings, with small areas of grass and trees interspersed between the buildings.


On the 1854 map, the southern part of the site is shown as a part of several fields. In the northeast part of the site was a building labelled the Factory Turning Mill, with a brook along the eastern edge of the site. By 1894, several other buildings had been built around the factory, with the complex labelled Holywell Brewery. The brook at the northern end of the site had a bank on its western side, denoted by hachures. By 1902, a tank was located at the end of the brook. The Holywell Brewery had been renamed Holywell Works (Fat) in 1930, with an additional building shown to the southeast, which had been removed by 1956. A collection of small buildings had also been constructed at the northern end of the site, near the tank. By 1956, a building had been constructed towards to southwest end of the site, labelled a garage in 1962. At this time, much of the western edge of the site appears to have been cut away to form a slope down to the brook. By 1976 several ancillary buildings had been constructed around the garage at the southwest end of the site, labelled Council Depot. An area to the northeast of this is labelled scrap yard, with tanks and warehouses further to the northeast. The site remains unchanged on the 1994 map.

Within the buffer zone much of the area to the south comprised fields in 1854, labelled Medley Field, with some development to the northeast along Sheffield Road and Holywell Lane. The Red Lion Inn was shown to the northeast of the site. Two limestone quarries and a spring (Holy Well) are located to the immediate north of the site, on the opposite side of Sheffield Road. By 1892, several buildings had been constructed to the northwest of the site off Sheffield Road, labelled Lime Grove, and the Ashfield Fire Clay Works had been established, with a clay pit and several brick kilns. By 1902, a football field had been constructed to the immediate north of the quarry north of Sheffield Road and allotment gardens had been established to the southwest of the site. A cricket ground was present to the east of the site by 1904, with tennis courts and a bowling green added by 1930. The



field immediately to the east of the site was shown as a recreation ground by 1930, with allotment gardens to the south of it. By 1962, Ashfield Clay Works was labelled as disused, and a small works had been established in the area of the former quarry north of Sheffield Road. By 1967, the area to the north of Sheffield Road was heavily developed with housing. Much of the eastern and southern part of the buffer remains undeveloped.

Survival:

The site is adjacent to the supposed route of a Roman road, and has also housed a succession of post-medieval to modern buildings at its northwest end, including a Factory Turning Mill in 1854 is located on the site. By 1894, Holywell Brewery had been constructed, possibly utilising the existing factory building as well as constructing new buildings. Many of the buildings appear to have been cleared in the 1970s to make way for warehouses, but it is possible that some of the 19th-century brewery/factory buildings exist as standing structures. Sub-surface remains associated with demolished buildings may also survive within the site.

The potential for the survival of remains associated with the Roman road is unclear, though the Holy Well name for the area could denote a spring that has been used from the prehistoric period onwards for ritual or religious purposes. The potential for buried remains of pre-19th-century date at the northeast end of the site is considered to be low, though the southwest end has been less disturbed and the potential for the survival of earlier buried archaeological remains in this area of the site is considered to be moderate. Landfill has been recorded within the southern edge of the site, suggesting that the potential for the survival of buried features in this area is low.


Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. This should include an assessment of the historic character and significance of existing buildings on the site.

Significance:

Remains associated with the brewery and works would be of Local archaeological significance.

Note: Site 435 covers the western end of Site 087.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows an area of concrete hard standing in the south, which appears to be used as a yard, with several small industrial type buildings. To the north is what appears to be a scrap yard and a collection of industrial type buildings, with areas of grass and trees between.

Lidar data is only available for the north-western end of the site. No previously unrecorded heritage assets were identified within the available Lidar data.

Allocation Reference: 088 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Adj. Peel Hill Motte, St Nicholas Rd, Thorne



The SMR records two monuments and three events within the site. One of the monuments is Peel Hill motte, the remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle, and is also a Scheduled Monument. The other monument is disturbed medieval occupation deposits found within the site during an evaluation in 1994. This is also one of the events within the site, with further evaluation trenching undertaken within the site in 2014 and monitoring of geotechnical test pits in 2016. The second evaluation did not find any evidence for in situ medieval deposits, with the features encountered relating to post-medieval occupation and agricultural activity. No features were recorded in the vicinity of the motte. Burials associated with a Quaker chapel were revealed within this evaluation just outside the site. The third event was two trial trenches excavated at Peel Hill itself as part of a community project. This revealed sandstone footings on the top of the motte and a 19th-century brick surface to the east of the motte, incorporating reused 16th-century bricks. Five monuments and ten events are recorded within the buffer zone.

One Scheduled Monument is recorded within the site, Peel Hill motte as described above. No listed buildings are recorded within the site, but one Grade I listed building and 13 Grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone. The site is within Thorne Conservation Area.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded the Peel Hill motte earthworks within the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the character zones within the site as medieval fortified site (Peel Hill motte) at the northeast side, overgrown orchards in the central and southern part of the site and villas/detached housing in the northeast corner. Within the buffer, there are numerous character zones including St Nicholas Church, medieval to modern vernacular cottages, late 19th- to early 20th-century terraced housing and later 20th-century housing estates, commercial core, municipal buildings and a school and nursing home, as well as a small area of parliamentary enclosure around the water tower and 19th-century to modern allotments.

The site appears to have been at least partially an orchard since 1892, though it no longer retains this character being mainly rough grassland. There is a castle motte within the site surviving as an earthwork.


Within the site, buildings fronting onto Church Street were shown to the south of motte on the 1825 enclosure map, when the remainder of the site was part of four fields that may have originated as crofts or burgage plots associated with buildings fronting onto King Street. Buildings were also shown along the southwest edge of the site, possibly barns or outbuildings. The houses on Church Street were also shown on the 1853 OS map, which showed the remainder of the site as a single plot containing the motte and numerous trees and several small buildings along the northwest boundary. This layout was largely unchanged by 1950, but by 1962 a new building was shown along the northwest boundary and the building in the northern corner, shown as Peel Hill House in 1987, had been enlarged. The trees had been removed from the motte and were confined to the area at the southern end of the site. The building at the northwest side of the site had been removed by 1987.

Within the buffer zone, the 1825 enclosure map showed further crofts to the northwest of the site and new enclosures to the northeast. To the south and west the site was bound by the urban development of Thorne, which included a ‘Quaker Meeting House’ immediately to the southwest of the motte. A burial ground associated with the meeting house was revealed immediately outside the site in the 2014 evaluation. The medieval church of St Nicholas is located to the east of the site. Housing developed along the King Street and Church Street frontages throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Market Place, a bank, a public house, a Congregational Chapel, Elm House, Stonegate House and a Pentecostal Church being marked in this period. To the east of the site, a Grammar School had been established by 1932, and the enclosed fields to the north were converted for use as allotments. By the 1960s the land to the north and northeast of the site had developed further with modern housing, replacing the allotments.



Survival:

Archaeological evaluation has demonstrated the survival of archaeological deposits and features within the site, though only limited remains of agricultural and occupation activity were found in the area of the site outside Peel Hill.


Given the presence of Peel Hill motte within this site, it has to be considered to have major concerns for allocation. Further consideration of the setting of the Scheduled Monument and of the physical impact on archaeological remains outside the Scheduled area would be required to establish whether there was capacity for housing.

Significance:

The motte is a Scheduled Monument, of National archaeological significance. The archaeological remains so far recorded in evaluations within the part of the site outside the Scheduled area are currently considered to be of Local significance.


Recent aerial coverage shows the site as rough grassland, with some trees particularly around the edge of the motte. Peel Hill Motte survives as an earthwork; many erosion scars related to visitor access and cycling activity were shown in 2002 but fewer in 2009 suggesting some remediation had been undertaken. A footpath runs through the site from King Street to St Nicholas Road. Peel Hill House and its garden are located in the northern corner of the site, fronting onto St Nicholas Road. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

In 2004 a geophysical survey and a programme of trial trenching were undertaken at Thorne Grammar School. The results of the geophysical survey detected groups of linear anomalies probably reflecting traces of ridge and furrow ploughing and a former field system. The trial trenching confirmed that the anomalies detected in the geophysical survey related to the medieval/post-medieval agricultural use of the site. A number of pits and linear features dating from the 17th/18th century in the south-west of the site were discovered.

were likely to be associated with 20th-century quarrying with modern dumping deposits recorded in all of the trial trenches.

ESY266 Archaeological evaluation on land at Stonegate

In June 2005 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken for land at Elm House off Stonegate. The results revealed that the tarmac car park had been laid directly on the previous topsoil and subsoil. Two rubble filled features were cut into the subsoil and contained fragments of handmade bricks. A small quantity of late medieval and early post-medieval pottery was recovered and considered to be from activity in the general area rather than specific to the site.

ESY483 Archaeological Evaluation on land off Queen Street

In June 2001 an a programme of trial trenching was undertaken for land off Queen Street. The trenches revealed brick built structures dating to the 19th and 20th centuries and the trench located near to Queen Street contained deposits relating to the construction of a house front onto the road, which was reported to have incorporated a date stone of AD 1640. A second trench contained a series of animals burials mainly of juvenile livestock from the farm.

ESY537 Archaeological Evaluation at Priory Cottage

In September 2003 a trial trench was excavated at Priory Cottage. No features of archaeological significance were recovered but two sub-circular features, possibly modern post holes, and an irregular tree-bowl was identified.

ESY1343 Evaluation trenching on land adjacent to Peel Hill motte, Thorne

Eight trenches were excavated to evaluate land to the south and west of Peel Hill motte. No remains predating the 18th century were encountered. Footings for 18th- to 20th-century buildings were recorded in the southern part of the area, along with grave cuts associated with an 18th- to 19th-century Quaker burial ground.

ESY1374 Trial trenching at Peel Hill Motte, Thorne

Three trenches were excavated at Peel Hill Motte, Thorne. A 19th-century brick floor surface contained reused bricks of 16th- to 19th-century date. This, and the amount of brick found in later layers, suggests that the castle probably incorporated red brick. Foundation stones were excavated on the top of the motte, and these suggest a square plan. However they may related to an interior structure rather than the tower itself.

Y

ESY1561 8 Market Place, Thorne

A watching brief was maintained when foundation trenches for a domestic extension were excavated. The trenches were relatively shallow and were mainly cut through modern brick footings. A single dressed sandstone block was recovered from the northwestern corner of the site and is thought to be of post-medieval date.

Y

ESY1565 21 Finkle Street, Thorne, Watching Brief

An extension to the post office involved the excavation of foundation trenches some way back from the street frontage. No archaeological features were located, but a 3 centimetre thick band of peat was visible in the side of the trench. This was not deemed to require further investigation, but the area was noted as one with possible significance should future development take place closer to the street.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument and one event are recorded within the buffer zone, both relating to archaeological investigations at Thorne Grammar School. This includes an assemblage of four flints of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date found during the evaluation, which also revealed remains associated with medieval to post-medieval agriculture and several 17th- to 18th-century pits.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as sports ground, created c.1920 on land originally enclosed from commons in 1825. Significant legibility of the enclosure landscape survives in the outline of the 1920s playing fields. Character zones within the buffer zone comprise modern housing, a school and an industrial estate on the site of a later 20th-century factory, all with limited legibility of previous landscapes, and a small surviving area of fields enclosed as part of the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure Award to the southeast.

The site has been a field since the mid-19th century, though it is unclear if it was used for arable or pasture. It is currently a grass verge on the edge of a sports field, with a single-storey modern building possibly associated with the playing fields.


The 1853 OS map depicts the site as part of a larger field, bounded on the south by the Thorne and Crowle Road (now Church Balk), on the east by Green Lane or Middle Road and on the west by Coulman’s Road. No changes within the site were shown by 1967. By 1975, a Rugby Field had been constructed in the field of which the site is part, with the site itself shown as land between the playing field and the road with a rectangular building at its western end, possibly a club house or changing rooms.

Within the buffer zone, the 1853 map showed fields characteristic of surveyed enclosure, with the only other features being drainage channels and the road network. Between 1906 and 1932, Thorne Grammar School had been developed to the west and a recreation ground had been established in a field to the north of the site. By 1962, housing development was shown along Wike Gate Road, within the southern part of the buffer zone. This had expanded by 1967 to cover the land to the south of Church Balk. development was complete and the Playing Fields enclosing the site had been established, effectively amalgamating a number of fields within the buffer zone to the northwest of the site. By 1975, a number of factory units (now an industrial estate) had been constructed to the northeast of the site.

Survival:

Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be high. The discovery of a several flints and evidence of medieval to post-medieval agricultural activity during evaluations to the immediate west of the site suggests a high potential for similar remains to extent into the site.



Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with medieval to post-medieval agricultural activity are considered to be of Local archaeological significance.




Twenty-first century aerial photographs depict the site as an area of maintained grass verge between a sports field and the road. A small single-storey building is shown in the western side of the site, fronting onto a drive and parking area that provides access to the sporting facilities to the north. This structure is likely to form part of the sporting facility. The southern edge of the site, fronting the road Church Balk, is lined by a row of conifers. Subtle cropmarks relating to earlier enclosure boundaries are evident within neighbouring fields. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.





05240 Mesolithic to Bronze Age Flint Finds, Thorne Grammar School

Four struck flints were recovered from the investigations at Thorne Grammar School. As the material was only cursorily examined, a more detailed examination may alter or amend any of the interpretations offered here. The assemblage consists of two blades of Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date, a possible Bronze Age core and undiagnostic flake.

Y

ESY257 Archaeological Investigations at Thorne Grammar School

In 2004 a geophysical survey and a programme of trial trenching was undertaken at Thorne Grammar School. The results of the geophysical survey detected groups of linear anomalies probably reflecting traces of ridge and furrow ploughing and a former field system. The trial trenching confirmed that the anomalies detected in the geophysical survey related to the medieval/post-medieval agricultural use of the site in the form of ridge and furrows, field boundaries and drains. A number of pits and linear features dating from the 17/18th century in the south-west of the site were discovered.

There are no SMR records within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer zone, the site of a Cold War underground monitoring post, located to the northeast of the site.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Romano-British field boundaries have been plotted to the immediate northwest of the site, and a 20th-century workers’ hostel is located to the south of the site. Traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow are recorded to the south and east of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and part of the eastern buffer zone as agglomerated fields created from probable strip enclosures. Legibility of the former strip fields is fragmentary. Further character types within the buffer zone include drained wetland to the north, and a variety of housing types, agglomerated fields, allotments, barracks and schools to the south.

The site is currently two fields in arable cultivation, and is mostly surrounded by modern housing to the south, with fields to the north.


In 1854 the site contained a number of narrow rectangular fields, probably formerly part of Askern Common. All of the current site boundaries were extant at this time, with Askern Common Drain to the north, Askern Common Road (later Moss Road) to the south, Fenwick Lane to the east and a field boundary to the west. By 1932 an allotment garden had been created in the centre of the site, and a small lane had been established running north to south from the newly established sewage works outside the northern site boundary, to Moss Lane to the south. By 1960 the allotment gardens are no longer present. By 1986 most of the internal field boundaries within the site had been removed.

Within the buffer zone, the area is predominantly strip fields in 1854, with Askern Common Drain to the north and Askern Common Road to the south. By 1892 some development had occurred to the southwest of the site, off Askern Common Road. By 1932 housing had been created to the immediate west and south of the site, and a sewage works had been built to the immediate north. By 1948 a barracks had also been created to the south of the site, and by 1972 significant housing had been built around the barracks, which by this time is marked as an industrial estate. Whilst the southern half of the buffer zone was well-developed by 1990, the northern end of the buffer zone remained largely undeveloped.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century, with part of the site briefly used as allotment gardens. Some truncation of sub-surface deposits may have occurred, but the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.




Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that the remaining field boundaries within the site had been removed by 2002, with the only surviving boundary being the track created to provide access to the sewage works. The site is currently used as arable land. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, but within the buffer, earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded in the southwest, with levelled ridge and furrow in the west and northeast.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, enclosed from commons as part of the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure Award, with no legibility of the former common. The present boundaries are largely defined by the 19th-century drainage layout. Character zones within the buffer are defined as wetland enclosed as part of the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure Award; agglomerated fields retaining significant legibility of the pattern of early post-medieval piecemeal enclosure from valley floor meadows; and modern enclosure of valley floor meadows, a depot and a sewage works with no legibility of previous landscapes.

The site is currently a small field of rough grassland bounded by Selby Road on the east and Ferry Road on the south.


The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. Jubilee Bridge Farm had been constructed in the eastern part of the site by 1892. No changes were shown within the site on the 1975 OS map, but the farm was not shown on the 1981 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1855 OS map including Ferry Road, Hangman Hill ferry, the Doncaster and Selby Trust turnpike road, Stewards Ing Lane, Brickholme Drain, Wood Lane and Thorninghurst Green. Jubilee Bridge had been constructed by 1892, while a house stood to the east of the site by that date. A depot had been established to the north of the site by 1961.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains in the majority of the site is considered to be moderate. Archaeological remains relating to Jubilee Bridge Farm may survive in the eastern part of the site.



Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Jubilee Bridge Farm are considered to be of Local archaeological significance.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as a field of rough grassland, with a hedged boundary along the northern edge and fences on other side. The 2002 photograph showed possible subdivisions or more overgrown areas along the eastern side, though these had disappeared by 2008. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event is recorded in the buffer zone, trial trenching over a wide area to the east of the site, which recovered features associated with Iron Age to Roman activity, though the majority of settlement features investigated by later open area excavation were located further to the east, outside the buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded at the south side of the buffer zone on a photograph dated to 1946, though the majority of this area has since been developed.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as split between four different character types. The southern end is defined as part of a sewage works, first shown in 1892, and the central area is part of a large area of drained wetland retaining many historic field boundaries that probably resulted from the extensive drainage programme of the 17th century. Within the northern side of the site is a sports ground first shown in 1939, and the northern tip is part of a large area of heavy metal trades and other works adjacent to the railway, where industrialisation began in the later 19th century. Further character areas within the buffer include a school, terraced and planned social housing, allotment gardens, regenerated scrubland, a traveller community site and further playing fields.

The most recent imagery (2009) shows the site as an area of rough grass and scrub, with no apparent internal boundaries. The northern tip of the site contains a former fire station, fronting onto Balby Carr Bank.


No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. The northern part of the site formed part of Balby Carr at the time of the 1841 Ordnance Survey map, when it was demarcated from the southern part of the site by a land drain. Two small plots were shown in the southern part of the site, which terminated at Wood Field Lane, at that date. The 1854 map showed the site as a series of fields, those in the north end being fairly narrow, regular fields characteristic of surveyed enclosure from commons, with a more irregular field to the south. By 1892, the western side of the northern part of the site was part of the ornamental grounds associated with Waite's Farm to the north. In 1903, an embankment was shown along the southern edge of the site. By 1930, the sewage works to the west had expanded, with storm water beds and a filter bed shown extending into the southern part of the site, though by 1939, the current configuration of tanked filter beds was shown, and the former beds within the site were occupied by rough pasture. By that date, a field in the northern part of the site was shown as a playing field. The 1962 map showed a football ground towards the northern part of the site and a sports ground with pavilions to the south of it. Within the western side of the northern area of the site, the former gardens had been substantially altered, with a cart track shown running through and raised platforms to the south of works on the street frontage; this area was shown as a refuse tip in 1977. A small works building was also shown at the northern tip of the site in 1962. Within the southern part of the site, irregularly-shaped ponds were shown to the north and east of the sewage works, and embankments around the edge of the fields, with raised ground to either side. The pond to the east of the sewage works was still shown in 1977, as a disused sludge bed, but that to the north had been filled in. The area south of the football ground was shown as a cricket ground at that date. There were no obvious changes to the site by 1992.

Within the buffer zone, Cuckoo Common Lane and a series of sand and gravel pits were marked on the 1841 OS map. Fields occupied much of the buffer zone by 1854. The 1892 map showed a farm and a villa to either side of the northern tip of the site, each with gardens and orchards stretching southeast. The grounds of Waite's Farm continued into the site. To the south of the site, a small building was shown as Balby Sewage Works. Extensive railway sidings were shown in the northeast edge of the buffer, but the surrounding area remained largely fields and gardens. By 1903, terraced housing had intruded into the northwest part of the buffer, and joinery works was



shown to the north. By 1930, the sewage works had been extended, and further housing was shown in the west and southwest parts of the buffer. More extensive works were shown to the north of Balby Carr Bank, including wire works. The 1956 map showed housing under construction to the south and west of the sewage works. By 1962, further works were shown to the west and east of the northern end of the site. This layout remained largely unchanged by 1992.

Survival:

The southern part of the site has been disturbed by filter and sludge beds associated with the sewage works, whilst the western side of the site contains a former refuse tip. The latter is raised rather than within a pit, but is still likely to have caused some compaction and disturbance to any buried features within its footprint. The northern part of the site contained football and cricket grounds; there may have been some landscaping associated with this, but aerial photography and Lidar suggests this is likely to be minimal. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within this area is therefore moderate. The works building on the street frontage may have caused some disturbance to buried features, but the extent of foundations or cellarage is currently unknown. The proximity of recorded Iron Age to Roman agricultural and settlement remains to the east suggests that there is the potential for similar remains to be located within the site.


Further archaeological investigations may be required in the northern area if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the majority of the site as scrub, with the principal sewage works structures outside the site boundary to the southwest. The 2002 photograph shows the sports grounds as maintained and presumably in active use, but by 2008 they appear to be disused, and the associated structures had been removed. The refuse tip at the western side of the site was covered in regenerated scrub, and the former pond at the southern side of the site had been infilled. The works building at the northern tip of the site was shown as a fire station.

Lidar data shows the raised area of the refuse tip at the western side of the site, and disturbed ground to the north of the sewage works. The former sludge bed pond is visible as a slight earthwork, as are embankments around the eastern and southern edges of the southern part of the site.

The SMR records one event within the site and part of the buffer: a watching brief carried out as part of the Doncaster North Bridge relief road project covered part of the northeast edge of the site as well as a much wider area and recovered Roman ceramic, late medieval to early post medieval remains, 18th-century ceramics; and 18th/19th century burials; however, none of these remains appear to have been found within the site itself. There are 14 monuments and seven events recorded within the buffer. Monuments comprise the route of a Roman road leading into Doncaster; medieval features which include the site of St Ancres’ chapel and St Edmunds Hospital, the site of a medieval motte and bailey which lies under St Georges Church, the site of a medieval Franciscan friary at St Marys Gate, a corn mill and a stone cross, all of which are no longer extant. Post medieval features comprise St Marys Bridge Chapel, which was lost by 1828; Friars Bridge of which there are no remains; Bentley and Arksey road bridge; and the site of an 18th-century water works.

The events within the buffer included archaeological investigation for the Doncaster Interchange project, which revealed part of the medieval town ditch, post -medieval boundary features and the remains of a late 18th-century water-driven pumping mill, weir and stone revetted bank of the River Cheswold. Excavation trenches and hand auguring conducted as part of the Greyfriars Road evaluation suggested that archaeological deposits were present at a depth of 6.1 to 7.3m OD. Geoarchaeological evaluation west of Church View suggested that the site the site retains good potential for archaeological remains for the Roman period and very good potential for medieval and post-medieval remains. Further excavation revealed part of the line of the Roman fort, a part of the large Norman castle ditch, 2m of undisturbed Roman and medieval stratigraphy, a layer of 2nd century AD pottery suggesting the presence of a Roman building in the vicinity, cobbled surfaces associated with Roman pottery, a medieval pottery kiln which would have produced Hallgate type pottery, and evidence of metal working.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are situated within the buffer; a water tower at the former British Rail works and a road bridge immediately to the south of the junction with Hunt Lane.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of post medieval ridge and furrow in the northern and south-western parts of the buffer.

Directly southwest of the site is an area owned by British Rail recorded as Historic Landfill.

The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the northeast part of the site as commercial land which was potentially the medieval suburb of Marsh Gate. It lies within the area of a former island probably created by the digging of the ‘Mill Dyke’ section of the river Don and the River Cheswold. The eastern side of the area comprised burgage plots which followed the course of the Roman road. The eastern series was the first to be lost as a result of the construction of the North Bridge Road section of the A1 through the middle of its plots. This side of North Gate Road was redeveloped for retail use in the 1990s. The western side appears to have been cleared and redeveloped for light industrial and commercial use in the mid-20th century. The southwest part of the site is also commercial land and this area was progressively improved through the late 19th and early 20th centuries for light industrial and residential uses. Residential terraces within this area appear to have been cleared in favour of the current large warehouses between 1972 and 1982. The character of the buffer surrounding the majority of the site is recorded as areas used for industrial purposes such as depots and warehousing, and communications in the form of train sidings and Doncaster Train Station. In the far north is a traveller community site. In the southwest of the buffer stands Marshgate Prison, a modern prison opened in June 1994. Prior to this, the area was a power station.

The site is currently a modern retail/light industrial park bounded to the northeast by Northbridge Road, to the northwest and southwest by the River Cheswold and to the southeast by the River Don Navigation.




The 1852 OS map shows the site within an area of enclosed fields to the south of North Bridge Road. The layout of the medieval burgage plots of Marsh Gate could be seen to the north of the road and St Andrews Church was located on the north-western edge of the site. By 1894 the former fields had been divided into small plots, Mill Street had been constructed and rows of houses, a church and industrial structures built. The northwest area of the site was known as Hirst’s Buildings and the southern part of the site was occupied by saw mills with associated timber yard. The 1902 map depicted an infant’s school within the centre of the site, with the rest of the site being used mainly for industrial purposes with a small amount of residential housing and St Andrew’s Church lining the southern side of North Bridge Road. By 1930 additional buildings had been erected within the northwest part of the site, and this area housed a joinery works and iron foundry. Residential housing had expanded in the northern area and two pubs had been built to serve the local community. The area had become more dominated by industry by 1961, and by 1980 many the remaining residential buildings have been replaced by industrial premises. By 1992, all traces of residential buildings had gone, as had the mill, being replaced by the large warehouses that exist today.

Survival:

Since the late 19th century this site has been subject to development, including terraced housing, a school and several works, with the majority replaced by more recent light industrial buildings. The development is likely to have truncated or destroyed earlier archaeological remains, but the potential for the survival of later 19th- and early 20th-century remains is considered to be moderate to high depending on the extent of more recent disturbance.



Significance:

Remains associated with later 19th- and early 20th-century housing and works could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Note: Site 093 covers mainly the same area as Site 257.


The 2002-2015 aerial photography shows the area to be an industrial concreted site bounded to the northeast by North Bridge Road with the remainder bounded by the Rivers Don and Cheswold. A number of large and smaller industrial warehousing and retail units currently stand on the site with the roads of Marsh Gate running between them. Access can be gained to the site from North Bridge Road or via a bridge across the River Cheswold in the south west. No archaeological features or anomalies can be seen on Lidar data.

Six trenches were excavated across the area. The northern most trench cut across the edge of the former course of the River Cheswold, and the area around it was heavily disturbed by Victorian cellars and foundations. Features identified were part of the line of the Roman fort, a part of the large Norman castle ditch, 2m of undisturbed Roman and medieval stratigraphy, a layer of 2nd century pottery suggesting the presence of a Roman building in the vicinity. The three trenches on the north-western side of the site indicated marshland through the Roman period and most of the medieval period. Two ditches found on the site were sealed by successive cobbled surfaces, associated with Roman pottery, and these may correspond to the line of the probable vicus ditches previously discovered at St Sepulchre Gate. A medieval pottery kiln was identified, which would have produced Hallgate type pottery, and there was also evidence of metal working

The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Within the buffer zone, one monument is recorded to the northwest of the site, comprising the site of a Bronze Age burial mound, although its exact location is unknown and this is no longer extant as an earthwork feature.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, extensive post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks have been recorded surrounding the site, but most predominantly to the east and west.

Historic landfill data records a plot of infilled land which covers the site as the Railway Cutting between Church Lane and Hollowgate. Within the buffer, to the northwest of the site is an area of infill recorded as Hollowgate. No further information is given for these records.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and northwest part of the buffer as enclosed land, the internal boundaries of which are probably a result of Parliamentary Enclosure in 1822. Within this character area is also partial legibility of its earlier open type, comprising curving boundaries surrounding parts of the earlier open fields. The HEC does not record the former railway cutting within the site, which has removed any elements of the enclosed landscape character in this area. Within the buffer zone, to the northeast and southwest, the landscape character is defined as modern housing, with no legibility of the earlier surveyed enclosures. The west of the buffer zone is characterised as Barnburgh Main Colliery, which was sunk in 1911 and closed in 1989, with the site now in the process of re-landscaping. The east of the buffer is defined as well-preserved ridge and furrow with surveyed enclosures, partly reused as playing fields and recreation grounds, some of which preserve strongly legibility of the ridge and furrow earthworks.

The site currently comprises a single plot of scrubland, with inter-cutting footpaths.


On the 1855 OS map, the site was part of several fields situated between Hallow Gate and Church Lane. There was little change on the site until the 1930 OS map, by which time the Dearne Valley Railway had been constructed on a northwest to southeast alignment, directly through the site. In 1977, the railway cutting was still present, but the railway had been dismantled. The cutting appears to have been filled in between 1980 and 1985.

The 1855 map depicted the buffer zone as predominantly fields, with Hallow Gate and Church Lane both extant. At the very southern end of the buffer, a small amount of development was present in the historic core of Harlington. By 1892, a small structure had been built on the corner of Hollow Gate and Westfield Lane. There was little further change until 1930, by which time the railway line extended through the buffer zone on a northwest to southeast alignment. To the northwest of the site, Hollow Gate Bridge had been constructed over the railway line and to the southeast was Church Lane Bridge. Several railway sidings were present in the western side of the buffer, as well as a Mineral Railway branch running to Barnborough Main Colliery, just outside the northwest edge of the buffer zone. By 1956, several buildings had been constructed between Church Lane, Hallow Gate and the railway line, to the immediate northeast of the site. Housing had extended further by 1969, with Cresacre Avenue shown a little further to the north. To the west, many of the railway sidings had been removed. By 1977, the housing development to the northeast of the site had extended considerably to the north, and further houses had been built to the south along Church Lane. The railway cutting to the southeast of the site had been infilled. There was little further change depicted on the 1988 map.

Survival:

The railway line constructed in a deep cutting through the site is likely to have removed any below-ground remains. The subsequent infilling of the railway cutting suggests that relatively deep made-ground deposits are likely to exist on the site. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains within the



site is considered to be negligible.


Further archaeological investigation is unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the site as scrubland with various intercutting footpaths. Two small lightweight building exist at the south-western end of the site from 2002 onwards. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. One findspot, one monument and two events are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspot was of a Roman coin to the west of the site, whilst the monument and both events relate to investigations of an Iron Age to Roman settlement and field system in the area to the immediate north of the site.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded earthwork ridge and furrow within the site and the buffer zone; however, the site has been developed since the photographs were taken and no earthwork features survive within it. Three 20th-century spoil heaps are also shown in the buffer, to the northwest and south of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields, with significant loss of field boundaries in the 20th century reducing the visibility of pre-1825 piecemeal enclosure from a former open field. Character zones within the buffer include Agglomerated Fields; Deep Shaft Coal Mine; and Semi-detached Housing.

The site is currently occupied by a depot and yard.


The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Fishlake, Stainforth and Hatfield enclosure map. No changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced between 1853 and 1975. A house and a depot had been built in the site by 1984.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including fields, land drains, Polton Toft Road, Hugh Hill Lane, areas named ‘Poltoncrofts’ and ‘Thwaites’ and Wormley Bridge Drain. Housing had been built in the western part of the buffer by 1932, with the Hatfield Colliery mineral railway and spoilheap shown on the 1948 map. Further housing and a mineral railway extension were shown in 1962. The mineral railway had been dismantled by 1984. The colliery spoilheap had been extended by that date and occupied much of the southern part of the buffer.

Survival:

The site has been drained and may have been cultivated since at least the early 19th century, which could have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The construction of the house and the depot buildings may have impacted on archaeological remains within their footprints. Archaeological remains may be present in the yard and lawn areas where there has likely been minimal disturbance. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains within undisturbed areas is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site occupied by the depot and its yard, and the house and its gardens/lawns. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

05653 Romano-British settlement and field system, north-east of Stainforth

Geophysical surveys identified evidence for enclosures, field boundaries and discrete features across a wide area on either side of a large colliery spoil heap, which is likely to overlie further remains. Trial trenching to the west of the spoil heap recorded settlement features, field boundaries, post-holes, gullies and pits, along with associated pottery indicating a 2nd-3rd century date for the main phase of activity. A few sherds of Iron Age pottery suggest an earlier origin, though the nature of this earlier phase is yet to be established.

ESY1474 Evaluations on land north-east of Stainforth, South Yorkshire

In 2008, a sedimentological investigation was undertaken, with 21 boreholes excavated in two transects to characterise the depositional sequence across the site. No stratified archaeological deposits were identified, and the palaeoenvironmental potential of the samples was considered to be low. Geophysical survey in 2009 identified extensive remains of settlement and agricultural features, probably of Romano-British date. These comprised trackways, field boundaries, enclosures and possible hut circles. Evaluation trenching in 2014 recorded Romano-British features including possible boundary ditches, gullies, pits and post-holes and associated pottery.
