Site assessment Known assets/character:

The SMR records three findspots, four monuments and four events within the site. The findspots are of a Middle Bronze Age bronze axe and chisel; and a coin hoard from an unspecified location within Doncaster. The monuments are all archaeological remains recorded during the events within the site. Evaluation trenching and open area excavation at the northwest side of the site recovered remains including a pit of possible Iron Age date; a Roman cremation and inhumation cemetery, with cremations of 1st- to 2nd-century AD date, some associated with votive offerings, and a few 3rd- to 4th-century inhumations; a possible fenceline and sand and gravel quarry pits of medieval to post-medieval date; and a complex of World War I practice trenches, probably used in recruiting drives. Along the northeast side of the site, building recording of historic school buildings within Doncaster College was undertaken, followed by an evaluation and watching brief within the college grounds which identified features associated with 19th-century gardens and an earlier buried ploughsoil.

The SMR records 8 findspots, 22 monuments and 27 events are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspots comprised a prehistoric flint dagger; a Bronze Age burial urn; a Roman burial urn; a single coin of Hadrian; a hoard of Roman coins and jewellery found disturbed in a medieval pit; and three early medieval Byzantine coins (two of which may be the same coin recorded twice). The earliest monument recorded is a possible pre-Roman boundary ditch sealed by the Roman road at Hallgate, with many relating to Roman activity recorded through excavation, including the course of the road leading through Doncaster, along the route of South Parade and Hallgate, proved by excavation in places; settlement remains at Wood Street, comprising field boundaries, a pit and locally-produced pottery; a 2nd-century AD cremation and inhumation cemetery at Hallgate; a pit or ditch terminus; possible wall foundations and postholes found below a building in High Street; and pits containing Roman pottery in Cleveland Street. Medieval remains recorded comprise the original and current location of a stone cross, now on South Parade; the site of a Carmelite Friary, and associated pits, walls, a substantial road, cart shed and ovens, found in excavations; the site of a town gate and part of the town ditch; numerous pottery kilns concentrated in the Hallgate and Wood Street area; lime-slaking pits; and part of a column from a medieval church. Post-medieval monuments are a timber-framed building in High Street; a stone-lined well; wall footings and sand extraction pit; and an early 19th-century workshop.

The 27 events within the buffer are mainly concentrated in the north and northwest part of the buffer, and included building recording, evaluations, excavations and watching briefs, with many of the monuments listed above found within these events. The nearest to the site was at Chequer Road to the immediate northeast, which recorded post-medieval to modern agricultural and horticultural features. In several events, the archaeological remains had been removed or severely truncated by 19th- to 20th-century buildings. The general pattern of events and monuments suggests that the site was located outside the Roman and medieval town, though close to the road. Roman cemeteries, such as that found in evaluations within the site, were usually located along roads outside the limits of settlement.

There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. One grade II listed building is recorded within the site, a swimming pool and health club. One Grade II* and 59 Grade II listed buildings are recorded in the buffer, mainly focused along South Parade, Hallgate and High Street.

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

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as falling within several character zones. The majority of the site comprises School and College buildings, first depicted in 1930 and expanding over time, with the central part of the site overlying the former ‘Glasgow Paddocks’, enclosed land with numerous probable stables and used as the site of horse markets; the northern part overlying the former Beechfield House and its gardens. Along the western side of the site is an area characterised as a late 20th-century Shopping Centre, constructed following wholesale clearance of mid- and early 19th-century terraced housing. The southwest part of the site is characterised as a Ring Road/Bypass dating to the late 1960s-early 1970s; with a Car Park at the northwest side



believed to have originated as a green at the crossing point of two Roman roads and used as the site of Doncaster's 'Horse Fair' in the post-medieval period; and a Swimming Pool at the southern end of the site. Within the northeast part of the site are Civic & Municipal Buildings, comprising an art gallery and museum, mostly built on the site of post-medieval orchards and gardens, although the northernmost part of the site was previously occupied by a 'Drill Hall'.

Further character zones within the buffer include Terraced Housing, Religious, Playing Fields/Recreation Ground, Public Park, Civic & Municipal Buildings, School, Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions, Shopping Centre, Urban Commercial Core, Planned Estate (Social Housing), Villas/Detached Housing, Other Industry. In the majority of the buffer there is no legibility of former landscapes.

Cartographic/historic land use assessment:

Within the site, the 1852 OS map showed Chequer Lane Gardens, several greenhouses, Beechfield House and its grounds, Glasgow Paddocks, Providence House and housing along James Street South and Spring Gardens. Chequer House, a school, a church and housing at Catherine Street were shown on the 1892 map. Greenhouses had been added to Beechfield House by 1902, with sale rings shown at Glasgow Paddocks, housing developments, Christ Church Schools, Hargreaves Yard, Venables Yard and Cleveland Square shown on the 1902 OS map. Scarborough Barracks Drill Hall, allotment gardens, Beechfield Park, schools, a girls’ high school, a shelter and lavatories, further housing, a club and tram tracks shown in 1930. Scarborough Barracks had been rebuilt by 1961, while Doncaster Technical College, Doncaster Museum, Doncaster High School, a bus station, car parks, public baths, a church hall and the county court were also marked at that date. Substantial redevelopment had taken place within the site by 1969. Council offices, a new museum and art gallery, a health clinic, a printing works, warehousing, Chequer Lane and an Arts Centre were shown in the north-east part of the site at that date. Doncaster Technical College had expanded to occupy much of the former Glasgow Paddocks, while car parks and College Road had also been constructed in this area. A new bus station, a multi-storey car park, a National Spiritualist Church and a Liberal Club stood in the western part of the site. Little substantive change was shown within the site on the 1984 and 1992 OS maps.

Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1852 OS map, including Elmfield Park, Hall Cross, the Hall Cross itself, gardens, numerous streets, houses, industrial buildings, churches, chapels, shops, public houses, major and minor roads, allotments and yards. The majority of the smaller open spaces within the buffer had been developed by 1892. The late 19th-century townscape remained largely intact in 1930, although extensive housing development had taken place in former parts of Elmfield Park. Little change had occurred by 1956, although substantial redevelopment had occurred in the north-east part of the buffer by 1961, with clearances of 19th-century housing having taken place in the south-west part of the buffer by that date. Substantial redevelopment had occurred in both areas by 1969, with much of the 19th-century townscape having been replaced. New roads and modern retail, commercial and municipal buildings had replaced the majority of the domestic properties. Little further substantive change had occurred within the buffer by 1992.

Survival:

Twenty-first-century archaeological excavations in a former car park and bus station in the northwest part of the Waterdale site revealed parts of a Roman cemetery, as well as medieval or later sand and gravel extraction and World War II practice trenches. It is possible that further Roman-period archaeological remains survive within the site. While these remains may have been impacted by post-medieval gravel extraction or 19th- and 20th-century construction works, the Waterdale remains demonstrate that buried archaeological remains can survive in this area. There are remaining areas of car parking within the site that have a moderate to high potential for the survival of archaeological remains, particularly in the southeast side of the site, though areas under large modern buildings are likely to be largely disturbed with a low potential for surviving remains.

Further investigations:

Mitigation has been completed in some areas, but further archaeological investigation may be required if previously uninvestigated areas of the site are brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. The extent of the cemetery is unclear, but further remains associated with Roman burials could be considered to be of Regional significance.



Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary:

Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that the majority of late 20th-century buildings and car parks within the site remained extant in 2008. Some redevelopment had occurred within the site by 2009 and a substantial new office block had been built by 2015. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site.

05016 Roman Road - Hall Gate, High Street, French Gate, Doncaster

The course of the Roman road through Doncaster was suggested to be along this route by plan form analysis. This has been confirmed in one location on Hall Gate. The cobbled road continued to be used into the Medieval period, evidenced by Late Saxon and 13th century pottery in the final phases of the surface. Excavations at 8-10 High Street also identified the road.

Y

05017 Excavated Features at Hall Gate, Doncaster

A possible pre-Roman boundary ditch with associated bank and fence were sealed by the Roman Road that came through this area. No artefacts were located to date these features more specifically. A possible Roman cremation was identified, although no burnt bone was recorded.

containing 20-30 individuals, of 1st-2nd century date. Associated with this were a number of complete cremation urns and pottery and glass vessels, many associated with votive offerings. A small number of inhumation burials of 3rd/4th century date were also recorded. Early post-medieval extractive pits (see PIN 05657) to the northwest of the cemetery complex contained residual Roman material so it is possible the cemetery once extended into that area.

05655 WWI practice trenches, Waterdale, Doncaster

Excavations at Waterdale in 2010-11 revealed a complex of trenches. These were originally revetted with wood and were built to British army specifications. These may have been practice trenches excavated by local units, to assist with recruitment exercises.

Y

05656 Probable Iron Age pit, Waterdale, Doncaster

Y

05657 Late/Post medieval features, Waterdale, Doncaster

Excavations at Waterdale in 2010-11 revealed a number of extractive pits for sand and gravel and an L-shaped line of post holes. The post holes contained pottery of Roman to medieval date, and are likely to represent a fence line or other agricultural feature of later date.

Y

ESY34 Excavation at Princess Street and East Laithe Gate

ESY839 Archaeological Building Appraisal at 8-9 Hall Gate, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

An archaeological watching brief is recommended during the demolition of the phase 2 buildings.

Y

ESY840 Archaeological Evaluation at 58-59 Hallgate, Doncaster

Seven trenches were opened during the evaluation. Trenches 1,4 and 5 contained 19th century deposits which destroyed or prevented access to earlier layers. Trenches 3,6 and 7 contained features of post-medieval date. Trench 2 revealed a sequence of occupation including a Roman pit, a medieval plough soil horizon, and post-medieval garden levels and floor surfaces.

Y

ESY841 Archaeological Excavation at Hallgate, Doncaster

Archaeological excavation on land between Hallgate and Wood Street recovered evidence for three phases of activity during the Roman and medieval periods. These include use of the site as a 1st/2nd century cemetery and cremation site, and the medieval production of pottery. In each case it is clear that the activities represented also extended into the surrounding areas.

ESY851 Evaluation 10-14A Hallgate, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

An archaeological evaluation at 10-14A Hallgate, Doncaster encountered comprehensive evidence of Roman, medieval and post-medieval activity. In addition, a wattle fence and ditch were sealed by the Roman road may present pre-Roman activity, although in the absence of pre-Roman artefacts this is still to be confirmed. The Roman road, represented by at least seven phases of cobbles was situated to the north of the present street frontage. Two clay-lined pits, in addition to other discrete pits and post-holes, were medieval in date, while further post-holes and brick cellars represented post-medieval disturbance.

Y

ESY853 Further Archaeological investigations at 58-59 Hallgate, Doncaster

Several phases of late medieval and post medieval occupation and activity were identified. These included stone buildings of 16th and 17th century origins, in of which had been modified to include a possible oven. More intensive development of the site had occurred in the late 18th century, with the contraction of cellared buildings of brick and limestone construction.

Y

ESY854 Archaeological Field Evaluation of land at Chequer Road, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

Prior to the 20th century, the site appeared to have been used as gardens or agricultural land. A number of post-holes, stake-holes and other similar features were found cut into a post-medieval garden soil horizon. These represented property boundaries of the late-18th and 19th century. The subsoil beneath this layer appeared to have seen agricultural activity in the middle ages, and finds recovered from this level included residual sherds of Roman pottery. Nothing of further archaeological interest was encountered.

Y

ESY869 Building Recording at Odeon Cinema, 35-36 Hallgate, Doncaster

This site was initially developed in the 19th century an earlier building was replaced by the Gaumont Place, a specifically designed cinema in 1934. Originally providing both on screen and live stage entertainment, the building underwent a number of refurbishments and alterations over the intervening years and become a three screen cinema with no live entertainment, although the stage, orchestra pit and dressing rooms remain. The building ceased operation as a cinema in April 2008.

Y

ESY870 Archaeological Watching Brief at Prince Street, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

An archaeological watching brief on the corner of Prince Street and East Laith Road, during the excavation of a foundation trench for a five storey building, revealed a series of modern and redeposited natural deposits. No archaeologically significant remains were identified.

Y

ESY871 An Archaeological Watching Brief within the 'St. Leger Tavern', Silver Street, Doncaster

In 1997, ARCUS undertook a watching brief during refurbishment of the St. Leger Tavern on Silver Street, Doncaster. Two foundation holes for column bases were excavated in the cellar, and four trenches for drainage were excavated at ground floor level. Made ground was encountered below the existing surfaces, and nothing of archaeological interest was recorded.

Y

ESY872 Archaeological Watching Brief Report, at Priory Walk, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

The excavations exposed a stone structure associated with two deposits of domestic waste, one of which was dated to the late medieval or early post-medieval period. A layer of demolition material sealed the domestic despots. A further demolition or ground-raising layer dated to the later 17th century was present approximately 400mm below existing ground level. The archaeological potential of the site is considered to be medium to high.

Y



ESY873 Archaeological Watching Brief at Priory Walk, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

An archaeological watching brief undertaken at Priory Walk, Doncaster revealed the remains of a well of unknown date to the south of the site and a probable Victorian culvert to the north-east of the area. Later remains relating to the foundations and cellarage of post medieval and modern buildings were found across the majority of the site.

Y

ESY874 Archaeological Building Recording at Doncaster College, Waterdale, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

The survey consisted of general and detailed photographic showing original features and the development of the buildings at the Chequer Road Boys Elementary School, the 1926 Girls and Infants school, the1910 High School for Girls and the 1958 Technical College.

Y

ESY877 Report on an Archaeological Evaluation on Land off Wood Street, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

An archaeological evaluation has been carried out on land off Wood Street, Doncaster. This was in response to a proposal to develop the area as a five storey office block. The site was formally occupied by Doncaster MBC education offices, constructed in the 19th century. This appeared to have involved ground disturbance to a relatively deep level. This left a limited area in which it was useful to carry out the evaluation. A single trench was excavated which was found to contain remains dated to the Romano-British period.

Y

ESY1028 Building Appraisal of 10-14A Hall Gate, Doncaster

Photographic survey of building to look for archaeological potential. Extensive damage of the buildings by fire was noted. Former 1920s Odeon Cinema and Art Deco shop fronts noted. There was also a former 3 storey townhouse.

Y

ESY1032 Trial trenching off Cleveland Street, Car Park, Doncaster

Four trenches excavated between Priory Walk and Cleveland Street, Doncaster. In the southern part of the area a large ditch was recorded, running roughly along the line of Printing Office Street. This was dated to the 13th century or earlier, as were a number of pits. In the central area were a number of rubble filled, probably robber, pits. A pit containing Roman pottery was also recorded.

Y

ESY1035 Priory Walk Watching Brief

Watching Brief revealed no late Medieval/early post-Medieval deposits identified in previous watching briefs.

Y

ESY1038 Excavation at St Sepulchre Gate, Doncaster

Roman features comprised three wide ditches probably representing vicus defences, as well as pits, a gully and a coin hoard. Medieval features included four ovens, a well, a stone-lined pit with associated culvert and several rubbish or cess pits. No evidence for of buildings or burgage plots was identified.

Y

ESY1049 Excavation at The Subscription Rooms, High Street, Doncaster

A gravel road representing an access route to the Friary immediately overlay and sealed the Roman remains. These consisted of a construction trench and a possible wall foundation, along with the remains of a surface and several post holes or small pits. The finds included a complete hobnailed boot, four intaglios, a number of coins and brooches and a bronze scalpel handle. These dated the features to the mid-late 2nd century. The substantial medieval road was probably of 12th century date. Over this road was constructed an open fronted building, possibly during the 13th/14th centuries. This was extended to contain a well in the 15th century and further modified into the 16th. Another building, containing a malting oven, was identified with a later medieval date. A number of other pits and areas of disturbance were also recorded. Evidence of industrial activity was also found on the site in the form of cattle horn cores, suggesting a Horner’s workshop, together with a cess pit and soak-away perhaps dating to the early 12th century.

Y

ESY1050 37-45 Printing Office Street,

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ASWYAS in 2002 in response to the proposed demolition and

Y



Doncaster redevelopment of 37 - 45 Printing Office Street, although extensive cellaring restricted evaluation to a single open area to the rear of the demolished properties. Pottery was recovered ranging in date from the 12th to the 18th centuries. The remains of two stone walls and a dressed stone post were also discovered. These features are thought to be post-medieval in date.

ESY1051 High Street 1960 Observations were made by Doncaster Museum's Keeper of Antiquities during the cutting of a service trench along the southwest side of High Street, running from the corner of St Sepulchre Gate to the corner of Hallgate and Waterdale. A section of two hard-packed gravel surfaces was recorded, presumably the remains of the Roman road. A large quantity of Roman pottery was also recovered.

Y

ESY1052 Hallgate Kiln, Bradford Row 1964-5

A medieval pottery kiln was discovered to the northeast of Hall Gate during excavations in 1964 and 1965, prior to the construction of the Bradford Row shopping centre. The kiln, defined as probably being a Type 2A two-flued, up draught kiln, was found with three pits all containing pottery wasters of cooking pots, bowls, jugs and pipkins. The kiln was in production from the late 12th century to the late 13th or early 14th century.

Y

ESY1368 Watching brief conducted during demolition of buildings at 8-9 Hall Gate, Doncaster

Watching brief undertaken during demolition of buildings at 8-9 Hall Gate, Doncaster. The buildings, to the rear of the frontage, consist of a brick gabled building and a 20th century extension. Limited ground reduction precluded an assessment of the below ground archaeological potential.

Trial trenching identified a probable Roman ditch, and 19th-20th century military practice trenches. It was also established that archaeological deposits were located at variable heights across the site, suggesting modern landscaping. Further evaluation revealed at least two Roman cremation burials were recorded, along with a number of other, apparently unstratified Roman finds. Further remains of the 19th-20th century practice trenches were also recorded.

Y

ESY1479 Excavations at Waterdale, Doncaster

Excavations were undertaken at Waterdale ahead of redevelopment in 2010/11. A cremation cemetery of 1st-2nd century date, containing 20-30 individuals was recorded, along with a small number of inhumations of 3rd/4th century date. Post-medieval features included mineral extraction pits and WWI trenches used during recruitment exercises.

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

One Grade II listed building is recorded within the buffer zone, a milepost on the road just on the boundary of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded cropmark evidence for post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks across the site and the buffer zone, though Lidar data indicates that the earthworks within the site appear to have been levelled by recent cultivation.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, enclosed from Bentley Moor as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure Award of 1830, with no legibility of previous landscape types in this area. Boundary loss in the northern half of the site has led to the loss of the legibility of the parliamentary enclosure.

Within the buffer, additional landscape character types include the Tilts agglomerated fields, enclosed in the 18th and 19th centuries, with some boundaries formed by drainage ditches created by Vermuyden at the external extent of the area. There is further enclosed land at Adwick Common, where agglomeration of fields means that the only visibility of historic landscape is the external boundary of the commons. The remainder of the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century industrial and housing development, with fragmentary or no legibility of previous character types. This includes the Carcroft Common industrial estate, which preserves the shape of the former extent of the common, and the Owston Common spoil tip where there is no legibility of the former parliamentary enclosure, though the spoil heap itself forms a monument to the former coal industry. The site of the brick works at Toll Bar just outside the site retains no legibility of the industrial works.

Historical landfill data records the Carcroft Landfill Site within the buffer to the north of the site.

The majority of the site has been in agricultural use from at least 1841. Brick kilns and a clay pit occupied the western part of the site by 1854 but were disused by 1892. Bentley Grange had been constructed in this area by the latter date.


No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. In 1851, the Old Eaa Beck formed the northwest boundary of the site, and Bentley Moor Lane, Bentley Moor Drain and the Tilts Hill Drain were shown crossing the site on the 1851 Ordnance Survey map, while Bentley Moor Wood occupied the site’s southwest corner at that date. A brick kiln was marked in the west of the site, immediately south of Bentley Moor Lane, with two further structures and a clay pit adjacent. The kiln was disused by 1892 and Bentley Grange had been constructed on its site by 1906. With the exception of the removal of several 19th-century field boundaries, no change was shown within the site on subsequent 20th-century OS maps.

Within the buffer zone, the Old Eaa Beck, Doncaster Road and Adwick Lane were shown on Jefferys’ 1771 map. Tilts Hills Bridge and Bentley Moor Bridge were marked in 1854, while the GN & MSLR railway line had been constructed by 1892. Moor Lane Bridge and a brick yard were shown in 1892. The latter was disused by 1906. The Bullcroft Colliery mineral railway had been constructed along the northeast site boundary by 1930. A spoil heap was shown at the northwest of the site in 1966, while the mineral railway had been dismantled by 1990.

Survival:

The construction of Bentley Grange may have destroyed any sub-surface archaeological deposits associated with the mid-19th-century brick kiln at that site. The site of Bentley Grange has not been redeveloped and the likely survival of sub-surface assets associated with the building is considered to be high. The excavation of the clay pit will have destroyed any sub-surface archaeological deposits that may have been present at that location. Due to the lack of deep-ground disturbance in the remainder of the site, the likely survival of any previously unrecorded



heritage assets is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. The setting of the grade II listed milepost is unlikely to be negatively impacted by development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains of Bentley Grange may be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site in arable use, with the exception of the sites of Bentley Grange and the 19th-century clay pit. The latter was flooded by 2002, while the Grange had been demolished and its site was occupied by scrub. The course of the Tilts Hill Drain was no longer visible in the northern part of the site by 2003, suggesting that this part of the watercourse had fallen out of use and been infilled by that date. The aerial photography shows that by 2002 the fields to the north of Bentley Lane had been agglomerated into one large field through the removal of boundaries.

Within the site, Lidar data shows the location of the old clay pit and some uneven ground or disturbance in the area of Bentley Grange. A river channel is visible in the northern part of the site, on the route of the Tilts Hills Drain, shown on recent mapping. Drainage ditches associated with field boundaries are clear, but no clear ridge and furrow earthworks are visible, with only a very faint linear trend in some fields. This indicates that the ridge and furrow has been levelled by modern ploughing.

In the buffer, Lidar shows the former mineral railway line as an embankment running across the north end of the site, and the route of the substantial Smallholmes and Tilts Drain to the north.

Site assessment

Known assets/character:

The SMR lists one monument and one findspot within the site. Medieval pottery sherds were found on the

surface of the field, following ploughing, and the site is within the area of the Doncaster Roman Pottery

Production Area, which may be considered a single industrial entity that stretches across several kilometres to

the east of Doncaster. To date, kiln sites have been recorded in the parishes of Cantley, Rossington, Blaxton,

Auckley and Doncaster. Within the buffer, a further monument and five events are recorded. The monument is a

possible post-medieval dovecote within a farm complex. The events include pottery kilns excavated to the

immediate east of the site at Blaxton Quarry, and geophysical survey and evaluations at Finningley Airport, which

in the main recorded only low levels of medieval to post-medieval agricultural features.

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

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the extent

of 20th

century sand and gravel extraction sites, one covering the entire site and recorded on a photograph of

1971, with further quarries in the east and northwest parts of the buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as a sand and gravel extraction pit on the site of former

fields, with no legibility of the Parliamentary Enclosure landscape. Further character zones within the buffer

include an area of surviving Parliamentary Enclosure fields, modern agglomerated fields, an airport, former

barracks, and modern planned social housing, detached and semi-detached houses, a school, church and nursery.

The site is currently maintained as scrub grassland, with tree lined boundaries.


The 1854 map shows the site as part of six fields with regular boundaries suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure.

By 1892, the southern boundary was formed by the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway. There were

no significant changes to the site by 1956, but in 1962 the entire site was shown as a disused sandpit, with an

embankment on the western side leading from the road into the site. The pit appeared to have been infilled by

1975, with a pond shown in the area of the former embankment. No changes to the site were shown in 1993.

Within the buffer, the area was mainly fields, with roads shown to the east and west of the site, and some

housing and a church at Lidget to the north. Mosham Farm was shown to the east of the site in 1892. By 1930,

some housing had been built to the east of the southeast corner of the site, and a probable old gravel quarry was

shown further to the east in 1948. Further quarrying was shown to the southeast by 1956. A works was shown to

the west of the site in 1962, probably associated with the processing of quarry waste. New buildings were shown

to the east of the site in 1975, labelled 'Nursery' in 1993. Further housing had been built to the north at Lidget by

1975, as well as to the south of the railway, and a barracks and sports ground were also shown in this area. A

large sand and gravel pit was shown to the east of Gate House Lane in 1993.

Survival:

Due to the extensive sand and gravel extraction across the site, any archaeological features and deposits are

likely to have been removed.


No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.



Aerial Photographs & Lidar

Summary:

The 2002-2005 aerial photographs showed the site as rough grass and scrub, with a linear hollow area to the

west adjacent to the road, possibly associated with access from the quarry works to the west. By 2008, a series of

linear banks were shown within the site, in an irregular pattern, and in 2009 the site had been stripped of

vegetation and topsoil, though the banks were still shown. Grass had regenerated across the site by 2015. Lidar

data shows the earthwork bunds associated with former quarrying across the site.

The SMR records one findspot and one event within the site: a hanging bowl with a hoard of Roman/post-Roman metalwork and an archaeological evaluation that recovered Roman pottery sherds during fieldwalking, along with the remains of brick kilns and flint artefacts. One findspot, two monuments and one event are recorded in the buffer zone: Roman pottery; an Iron Age or Roman enclosure, field system and trackway; and a watching brief that recovered Roman pottery from a pit.

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 or the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields, an area of large fields created through progressive removal of field boundaries in the latter part of the 20th century, with partial legibility of boundaries formed prior to the 1778 Enclosure Award. Character zones within the buffer are defined as sand and gravel extraction, Parliamentary Enclosure, vernacular cottages and modern private housing estates.

Two adjoining areas of historic landfill are present, one covering the western edge of the site and recorded as a rubbish tip, the other to the north within the western part of the buffer, for which no details are recorded.

The site is currently four fields under arable cultivation.


The site was shown primarily as fields on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. The north-eastern part of the site contained a large ‘old gravel pit’ at that date, while a small ‘old sand pit’ was marked along the southwest site boundary. Other than the amalgamation of a small number of field boundaries, no changes were shown within the site until the 1962 OS map, when further sand and gravel extraction was shown in the central-western part of the site, and a refuse tip at the western side. A field at the southern edge is marked ‘Roman pottery found’, suggesting that this area may have been quarried between the production of maps. The gravel pits had been infilled and reclaimed by 1983, when a substantial track was marked along the southern site boundary. No further change was shown on the 1985 and 1992 OS maps.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1886 OS map including fields, field boundaries, Wroot Road, Wroot Road railway crossing, the Great Northern & Great Eastern Joint Railway, ‘old’ gravel pits, Brick Kiln Wood, Moize Plantation, a smithy and a cluster of three unlabelled buildings on the west side of Wroot Road. A small number of buildings had been constructed on the south side of the railway line by 1902. Their function is unknown. White House was shown within the buffer on the 1962 OS map, along with a chapel and housing developments. Further housing was shown on the 1983 and 1992 maps.

Survival:

Substantial areas of the site, in the eastern side, the central area and the western edge, have been subject to sand and gravel extraction. The remainder of the site appears to have been fields, though further extraction not recorded on the maps cannot be ruled out. Mineral extraction will have destroyed any archaeological remains that may have been present within the footprints of the extraction areas. Here, the potential for buried archaeological remains is negligible, whereas in relatively undisturbed areas, the potential could be moderate.


If the site is brought forward for development, further archaeological assessment may be required to establish the extent of the area covered by mineral extraction, and to assess the survival of archaeological remains in these areas.



Significance:

Unknown in areas not subjected to mineral extraction; Negligible in the former extraction areas.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable fields. The northern field showed traces of having been subdivided into small, square plots on the 2002 photograph. Central features within each plot suggest that this area may have been a piggery. The subdivisions were not visible from 2003, but similar subdivisions had been established in this area, and the field to the southwest, by 2005. These features were not shown in 2007-2015.

Lidar shows the former sand and gravel quarry at the northeast side of the site, earthworks associated with the existing field boundaries. The remainder of the gravel quarrying recorded on historic maps seems to have been more effectively infilled. The edge of a raised platform extends into the southern edge of the site towards the western end and continues south. This is of uncertain origin but could be infilled ground. It is in the area marked 'Roman pottery found' in 1962.

There are no SMR events or monuments recorded within the site. Two findspots, five monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. A Roman cosmetic spoon was recovered from east of Dadley Wells farm and a Romano-British disc brooch with enamel decoration was recovered from near Dadley Road. Monuments include Dadsley Well, the remains of a medieval cross at Dadsley Well (not thought to be in situ), and a fragment of cross shaft built into a wall. A post medieval house, barn and stable are located on Doncaster Road. Trial trenching at the north west of the town located the remains of 17th-century structures, a watching brief at The Dorchie, Dadsley Road recorded a possible medieval ditch, and building recording at 126 Doncaster Road recorded late post-medieval buildings constructed in the local vernacular style.

No Scheduled Monuments are located within the site or buffer. Five grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer comprising 126 Doncaster Road and associated barn and stable, 128 Doncaster Road and the Stone Cross at the corner of Willingley Lane

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records extensive post-medieval ridge and furrow in the north of the buffer, one area directly south of the site and one in the west of the buffer.

Historic Landscape Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western side of the buffer as being part of an area of enclosed strip fields which is being eroded through continued loss of field boundaries. Several of the groups of strip fields have names, probably given at the time of consolidation of the furlongs, which persist today such as 'Hindley Closes' and 'Clay Croft Closes', with fragmentary legibility of the former landscape of open fields. The northeast part of the buffer comprises agglomerated fields, and further to the south are areas of modern housing and a small area within the historic burgage core of Tickhill.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as two strip fields, surrounded by further strip fields to the north, south and west, with Dadsley Well House to the north. In the south are smaller burgage plots and associated buildings. By 1948 the field boundary running through the middle of the site has been removed and additional buildings have been constructed in thin strip plots to the south east of the site. The 1962 OS map shows the field has been split into two. By 1981 the boundary has disappeared again, additional housing has been constructed to the west, and a building in the northeast corner of the site, south of Dadsley Wells farm is depicted.

Survival:

The site is likely to have been in agricultural use from the medieval period onwards, though recent use has been as pasture. The bungalow in the northeast corner of the site may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Across the majority of the site, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. The historic landscape character of strip fields has been lost through the removal of boundaries and creation of modern paddocks within the site.


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

Significance:

Unknown.




Aerial photographs from 1999 show the site as boarded on all sides by hedgerow with mature trees on the southern border. The building first depicted on the 1981 OS map in the northeast corner is shown as a bungalow, with stable blocks to the southwest. The site is currently used as a stables, and the field has been divided into numerous paddocks by wooden fencing. The pattern of the former strip fields within the site is no longer visible. No LiDAR is available for this area.

Site assessment


The SMR records one monument partially extending into the site and two further monuments within the buffer.

The northern edge of the site and northern half of the buffer lie within the likely extent of Armthorpe medieval

village. Within the buffer the monuments of the Church of St Mary and St Leonard and the location of a former

Manor House dating back to the Norman period are recorded, the latter immediately north of the site. Just

outside the buffer, archaeological evaluation at Mere Lane revealed medieval pits, posthole and land surface in

addition to post medieval structures.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. The grade II listed Church of St Mary is

within the buffer.

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

features within the site or the buffer.

The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and the southern part of the buffer as

an industrial area comprising a scrap yard and other industrial premises which are first depicted on the 1982 OS

map. Previously, the area consisted of agricultural land comprised of thin strip fields. The strip fields resulted

from consolidation of furlongs in the open fields over time. Legibility of the former character is invisible.

Markham Main Colliery and Markham Main Colliery Tip lie to the west of the buffer. The Colliery began

production in 1924 and ceased operation in 1996. To the north lie the villas/detached housing of the historic

Armthorpe Village and St Marys Church, a medieval foundation with later additions. To the east of the site are

planned social housing estates built in the 1970s and 1980s, with Armthorpe urban core at the eastern edge.

The site is currently a disused light industrial works.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as being within a large enclosed field known as South Field. In 1892, a footpath

was shown in a north-south alignment across the field. By 1969 the site had been developed and split into two

areas, with a building labelled ‘works’ in the north part and two buildings to the south in an area labelled ‘Depot’.

The 1975 map showed a scrap yard in the south of the site, which continued to be used as a works depot in 1993.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicts Church Street and the Manor House to the north of the site. By 1892

buildings had been constructed in an area to the north of the site known as The Beehive. The 1930 map showed

Markham Main Colliery to the east, and housing development to the north of the site. By 1975, the remainder of

what was South Field had been developed as a planned social housing estate at Tranmore Lane. In 1993 further

depots were shown to the west of the site with residential housing to the north and east.

Survival:

The site was developed for industrial purposes in the mid-20th century. This development would have resulted in

the disturbance or destruction of any unrecorded buried archaeological features and therefore the potential of

survival of such features on this site is deemed to be low.


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

Significance:

Negligible.




Summary:

The 2002 aerial photograph shows at least six industrial 20th

-century buildings within the site, which appear to

have been in use until at least 2003. By 2008 the depot had become disused and by 2015 vegetation had begun

to grow around the buildings. The site is bordered by a mixture of walls and metal fencing with an access road

from Church Lane to the site from the western side. LiDAR data shows the outline of the current structure but no

other archaeological features or anomalies.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event was recorded within the buffer zone, an evaluation at Station Road, Stainforth which identified the widespread stripping of topsoil and subsoils, reinstated using dumped industrial material.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded 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. A post-medieval quarry and levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow remains were recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northeast part of the buffer as Hatfield Main Colliery, a deep shaft coal mine operational from c.1911 to 2004. Much of the colliery site is being reclaimed, but the headstocks were granted listed building status in 2015. Within the remainder of the buffer, character zones include former open fields and commons enclosed in 1825, with much boundary loss leading to fragmentary visibility of the historic landscape character; fields enclosed from Hatfield deer park in the early 18th century; as well as 1930s and later housing estates; modern industrial units; and a sports ground. A zone to the immediate west of the site is characterised as a traveller site, with fragmentary visibility of the former Parliamentary Enclosure field boundaries.

The site is currently vacant land to the rear of buildings on East Lane, and was railway sidings in the later 20th century.


The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of a field to the north of the railway and Stainforth Station. The western boundary was formed by the Stainforth and Hatfield Road. The field had reduced in size by 1932, with railway sidings to the immediate south. By 1948, the railway sidings had extended north into the site, and the 1962 map showed the site entirely occupied by sidings. No changes to the site were shown on the 1992 OS map.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed a railway line and Stainforth Station to the south of the site, on the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines. The Stainforth and Hatfield Road was to the west of the site and East Lane to the north, with Carr House shown to the east of East Lane and a gravel pit to the west. Buildings called Parks were shown in the southwest part of the buffer, and the area was surrounded by fairly irregular fields, a mixture of piecemeal and surveyed enclosure from open fields and commons. By 1907, a building called the Laurels had been constructed to the immediate north of the site, within a small enclosure. The 1932 map showed railway sidings immediately south of the site, associated with Hatfield Colliery, with the main colliery buildings being outside the buffer to the northeast. A housing estate had been built to the north of East Lane by that date, and along Station Road in the southern part of the buffer. A greyhound track was shown to the west by 1948, and colliery spoil heaps had encroached into the northeast edge of the buffer. Laurel House was named Station House in 1962. By 1992 the spoil heap to the northeast was shown as disused.

Survival:

The site was occupied by railway sidings from the mid- to late 20th century and is now rough ground. The railway infrastructure is likely to have impacted on sub-surface deposits, but the depth of disturbance is currently unknown. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is also unknown.


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

Significance:

Unknown.




The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as rough ground to the south of Station House, with the eastern boundary formed by Waggons Way, laid out after 1992, and extended northeast into the former colliery site by 2008. The railway line and station are still shown to the south and southeast, but the sidings shown in 1992 have all been removed. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

ESY792 Archaeological evaluation at Station Road, Stainforth

The scope of works consisted of 6 evaluation trenches randomly located across the proposed development area. No archaeological remains were encountered in any of the trenches. Trenching revealed that the site had previously been stripped of topsoil, subsoil and any sand/or gravel overlying the underlying clay geology, with ground levels subsequently reinstated by industrial dumping.

The SMR records two monuments within the site. These comprise a medieval moated site, now visible only as a slight earthwork, and the possible site of a shrunken medieval village. Both these monuments are within the larger western part of the site. Within the buffer, seven monument are recorded, including St Laurence's church to the immediate west of the site. This church is of Norman and later date, with a small collection of carved medieval cross slabs, one of which stands in the churchyard and is a Scheduled Monument. To the north of the site is a late 18th-century water-powered corn mill and to the west is a post-medieval barn. The rest of the monuments are to the south and southwest, including the site of Adwick Hall and its 18th-century gardens, and post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks recorded in a field that has since been built on. Two events are recorded within the buffer, both associated with recording the 18th-century mill.

One Scheduled Monument and four listed buildings are located within the buffer, mainly associated with St Laurence’s church. The Scheduled Monument is the medieval cross in the churchyard, which also appears to be grade II listed, whilst the church itself is Grade II* listed, and a cholera memorial within the church is grade II listed. The water-powered corn mill to the north of the site is also grade II listed.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the moat as an earthwork within the site, and levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded within the buffer to the north, east and south of the site, some in areas since developed.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the larger western part of the site as valley floor meadows, with narrow fields, possibly remnants of burgage plots, amalgamated into a larger enclosure after 1851. The eastern part of the site is within a wider zone characterised as surveyed enclosure and drainage of the Ings, with enclosure dating to c.1750 and much subsequent boundary loss. Within the remainder of the buffer, character zones include surveyed enclosure from Adwick Common, modern agglomerated fields, the medieval church, post-medieval vernacular housing and mill, and 1930s and later housing, a school, a public park and industrial premises.

Historic landfill data records two areas of infilled ground, a wide strip at Mill Lane and a narrower strip at Adwick Lane, both in the eastern part of the buffer, along the route of the railway.

The site is currently two fields on the eastern edge of Adwick village.


The 1851 OS map shows the western part of the site as part of four fields, with some of the boundaries in the central area being fairly narrow strips leading back from buildings fronting onto Village Street, and possibly the remains of medieval burgage plots. A rectangular ditched feature shown in the southeast corner of this field is the moat, and a circular feature was shown to the west of this, probably a pond. The southern boundary of the site was formed by Church Lane. The eastern part of the site was shown as a field, divided from the western part by a mill race for Adwick corn mill. Its eastern boundary was formed by the Great Northern railway line. The moat and circular feature were still shown in 1892, by which date some of the boundaries within the western part of the site were no longer maintained. By 1906, only two fields within this area. The remaining boundary in the western side was removed between 1955 and 1962, and the moat and circular feature also disappeared from the mapping between these dates. There were no major changes within the site by 1982.

Within the buffer, the 1851 map showed the church, houses and farms to either side of Village Lane, with Mill Lane also shown to the north. The Great Northern Railway line ran through the eastern part of the buffer, with a station off Church Lane. Adwick corn and flour mill was located to the north of the site, and Adwick Hall and its park towards the western edge of the buffer. The surrounding area was mainly fields. Adwick Hall had been demolished by 1892. By 1932, some new housing was shown to the south of Church Lane, on the site of earlier buildings, and Doncaster Road had been constructed in the southern part of the buffer. Some redevelopment had been undertaken within the village core by 1962, when a large depot was also shown to the north of the railway



line. A new school was built within the village between 1966 and 1982.

Survival:

The Lidar data records the medieval moated site as an earthwork in the southern part of the site, and earthworks possibly associated with ridge and furrow, a trackway and burgage plot boundaries. No clear evidence for any medieval building platforms is visible, although many earthworks have been previously mentioned in the western side of the site. The earthwork remains suggest the potential for buried archaeology within the site is high.


Given the evidence for extensive earthwork and 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. The impact of any development on the setting of the adjacent grade II* listed church and Scheduled Monument should also be considered.

Significance:

Remains associated with the medieval moated site and any associated medieval settlement activity would be of at least Regional archaeological significance.


Aerial photographs from 2002-2015 show both fields under cultivation, possibly for hay, though they are shown as grassed in 2008. The nature of the land use means that the conditions for spotting cropmarks or earthworks are poor on all of these photographs.

Lidar coverage shows the rectangular moat as a sunken hollow in the southeast corner of the western field, and the route of the mill race dividing the two fields. Faint ridges aligned northeast to southwest cross most of the western field, possibly the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation, though some more substantial ridges could represent former burgage plot boundaries associated with buildings fronting on Village Street. A linear hollow aligned northwest to southeast runs across the western side of the field from near Church Lane to the western corner, probably a trackway. No clear evidence for earthwork building plots is visible within the Lidar data, though aerial photographs indicate that the field has been ploughed which may have affected the visibility of earthworks. There are no visible earthwork features in the eastern field.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Within the buffer, seven monuments and one event are recorded. The monuments are all located to the north and northwest of the site, and include St Laurence's church, of Norman and later date, with a small collection of carved medieval cross slabs, one of which stands in the churchyard and is a Scheduled Monument and grade II listed. Also to the north of the site are a medieval moated site, now visible only as a slight earthwork, the possible site of a shrunken medieval village close to the moat, and post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks recorded in a field that has since been built on. To the northwest of the site are the site of Adwick Hall and its 18th-century gardens. The event was a geophysical survey at North Doncaster Technical College, which recorded probable Romano-British field system remains.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument and three listed buildings are within the buffer, all within St Laurence’s churchyard. The Scheduled Monument is the medieval churchyard cross, which also appears to be grade II listed, whilst the church itself is Grade II*, and a cholera memorial within the church is grade II.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project depicted cropmarks of isolated ditches within the site possibly associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems, with post-medieval plough-levelled ridge and furrow remains recorded across much of the site. Within the buffer, the moated site is recorded as an earthwork, and further levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded east, west and south of the site, some in areas since developed. A 20th-century military camp was recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer on a current school site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the character of the site as modern agglomerated fields, where 20th-century boundary loss has eroded the character of the former piecemeal enclosure of medieval open fields. This zone extends south across the buffer. Further character zones within the buffer include valley floor meadows with poor legibility of former burgage plots; surveyed enclosure of the Ings, dating to c.1750 with substantial subsequent boundary loss; surveyed enclosure from Adwick Common; the medieval church; post-medieval vernacular housing; and 1930s and later housing, sewage works, schools, a public park and industrial premises.

Historic landfill data records a narrow strip of infilled ground at Adwick Lane in the northeast part of the buffer, along the route of the railway.


The 1851 map shows the site as occupied by nine fields, most of which are narrow and slightly sinuous, characteristic of enclosure from medieval open field. A footpath was shown running through the northern part of the site to a footbridge crossing Mill Dike, which formed the eastern boundary of the site. Two field boundaries had been removed by 1892. Between 1955 and 1961, several more boundaries were removed, leaving a large southern field crossed by a drain, and two smaller northern fields. The whole site comprised two fields by 1982.

Within the buffer, the 1851 map shows the area to the south of the site as narrow fields similar in character to those within the site, whilst fields to the east of Mill Dike were more regular in character. Doncaster Lane was shown to the west of the site, and the core of Adwick le Street village to the northwest, including the church and Adwick Hall. The Great Northern Railway was shown to the east of Mill Dike. Adwick Hall had been demolished by 1892. By 1930, housing development was shown to the west of the former Doncaster Lane, now Doncaster Road, and a new northeast extension of this road had been constructed along the northwest side of the site. Further housing was shown to the east of the railway. A sewage works was constructed to the southeast of the site between 1930 and 1948, and had expanded northwards into the area between the Mill Dike and the railway by 1961. By 1982, a telephone exchange had been built to the immediate north of the site.



Survival:

The site has been in arable cultivation since at least the mid-20th century , which is likely to have impacted on the sub-surface deposits through truncation, though the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. Possible Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches have been recorded as cropmarks within the southern part of the site.


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 field systems and associated activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their nature, condition and extent of survival


The 2002 aerial photographs show the site as two fields divided by a drainage ditch, and both under arable cultivation. Possible cropmark ditches in the southern field correspond roughly to those recorded by the Magnesian Limestone mapping project, though appear to be more extensive, with some more irregular features possibly being geological in origin. The site is unchanged by 2015, though the post-2002 photographs were taken at the wrong time of year for any cropmarks to be visible.

The Lidar data shows that modern cultivation has levelled any earthwork remains within the site, including any former field boundaries. The only visible feature within the site is the drainage ditch dividing the two fields.

Allocation Reference: 460 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land off Lutterworth Drive, Adwick



The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One monument and one findspot are recorded in the buffer zone: a Roman inhumation cemetery and possible settlement, and a Roman coin.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a probable Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditch in the north part of the site. This extended into the buffer zone. Similar features associated with the same field system were also recorded in the north and west parts of the buffer, though the western area has since been built on.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a Private Housing Estate. This was developed between 1967 and 1984, with no legibility of earlier parliamentary landscape. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Warehousing, Planned Estate (Social Housing), School, Private Housing Estate and Public Park.

The site is currently an area of open greenspace surrounded by 20th-century housing.


The site was shown as fields on the 1851 OS map. With the exception of the removal of field boundaries, no changes were shown within the site on Ordnance Survey maps produced up to 1982.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1851 OS map including fields, field boundaries, small plots named ‘Bell Spring Acre’ and ‘Pinders Acre’, Tenter Balk Lane, the Doncaster and Tadcaster Trust turnpike road, Red House Lane and Ridge Balk. Kirkby House and Kirkby Villa had been built within the buffer by 1906, with further houses and allotments on Tenter Balk Lane by 1930. A cricket ground was shown in the south-east part of the buffer on the 1948 OS map. Housing estates had been constructed by 1961, along with the Percy Jackson School and the Tally-Ho public house. Adwick School, further housing, a park and a depot were shown on the 1971 OS map, with further housing by 1981.

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 surrounding housing development may have caused some disturbance to the site. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. A cropmark ditch suggests that there is the potential for remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems within the site.


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 activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site an area of rough grass and scrub between housing developments. Unofficial footpaths cross the site. There is no Lidar data for this site.

The SMR records one monument and one event within the site: Iron Age or Roman trackways, enclosures and ditches recorded as cropmarks and a geophysical survey that identified one probable ditch. Six monuments or findspots are recorded in the buffer zone: a rectangular enclosure; Iron Age or Roman trackways, enclosures and ditches; enclosures including possible roundhouses; an unidentified linear feature; a Roman coin; and a suggested early Roman road with surviving remains of an agger. The SMR records 14 events in the buffer: three archaeological excavations, two watching briefs, three archaeological evaluations, five geophysical surveys and a survey of the Roman Ridge cycle route.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument, the Roman Ridge Roman road, is located at the southwest edge of the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded Iron Age to Roman ditches and levelled ridge and furrow as cropmarks within the site and the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Strip Fields and Commons and Greens. These comprise enclosed strips within a likely former common field, which are set at right angles to Red House Lane. There has been major boundary loss and the remaining pattern gives the impression of surveyed enclosure. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Private Housing Estate, Piecemeal Enclosure, Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions, Drained Wetland, Cemetery, Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private) and Warehousing.


The site was shown as fields on the 1851 OS map, one labelled ‘Size Ing’. Ings were water meadows, liable to flooding, and Humber Head Dyke was shown in the northeast part of the site. By 1906, Size Ing was depicted as marshy ground. Several of the field boundaries within the site were marked as drains on the 1964 OS map. No further substantive changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced up to 1984.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1851 OS map including fields, the Great Northern and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway line, Humber Head Bridge, Humber Head Levels, the Ea Beck, Redhouse Lane, Red House Green, the Red House itself, Ings Lane, Ings Drain, a weir, a limestone quarry and the Roman Ridge Roman road. The Lymes, a cemetery, allotments, a footbridge and a second weir were shown within the buffer on the 1961 OS map. The course of the Ea Beck had been modified by that date. The Doncaster bypass and its junction with the Great North Road had been constructed by 1964. Substantial embankments had been constructed along the course of the Ea Beck by 1983.

Survival:

The site has been fields since at least the early 19th century. Given the known cropmark features within the site and the lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be high.


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 activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable fields, with the exception of two small plots of pasture adjacent to the railway line. The Lidar data shows various linear features within the site. These correspond with those shown on historic maps, with the exception of a small number of linear features that run parallel with the railway line.

The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer zone, the site of a 20th-century anti-aircraft battery, the exact location of which is unknown.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow within the southern half of the site, with further similar remains in the buffer zone.

Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site as part of surveyed enclosure of the former Adwick Common, with the character of the 1761 Parliamentary Enclosure landscape having been lost due to the amalgamation of fields in the 20th century. Further character zones within the buffer include surveyed enclosure of the Ings, dating to c.1750 with substantial subsequent boundary loss; drained wetland enclosed from Bentley and Adwick Moor; modern agglomerated fields; as well as a modern industrial estate and sewage works.

Historic landfill data records a narrow strip of infilled ground along the railway line at Adwick Lane to the west of the site, and the larger Carcroft Landfill site to the north of the site.

The site is currently fields under arable cultivation.


The 1851 map shows the site as several fields in an area called Adwick Common, with a fairly regular field pattern suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure. The site was bisected by Adwick Lane, and the Great Northern Railway ran along the southern boundary of the site. The northern boundary was formed by the Old Ea Beck, with drainage ditches along the northwest and eastern boundaries, and a further drain called Engine Drain running roughly north-south through the northern part of the site, then turning southeast through the southern part. This was renamed the Goosepool Drain by 1961. An area at the western side of the site was shown as allotment gardens in 1930. By 1948, many of the boundaries in the northern part of the site had been removed to create larger fields. Some small buildings, presumably sheds, were shown within the allotments in 1961. Further boundary loss was shown by 1982.

Within the buffer, the 1851 map showed further fields and Mill Dike, with Bentley Moor Wood to the immediate east of the site and a brick kiln and clay pit to the south of Duffield Lane just east of the northeast corner of the site. The kiln was shown as disused by 1892, and Bentley Grange had been built adjacent to it by 1906. Housing had been built to the immediate west of the northern part of the site by 1930, and a sewage works was shown in the southern part of the buffer. This had expanded northwards into the area between Mill Dike and the railway by 1961. A caravan park, factories and an oil railway terminal were shown to the north of the Old Ea Beck by 1982.

Survival:

The site has been drained and under arable cultivation since at least the mid-19th century, and this is likely to have impacted on the preservation of sub-surface remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the preservation of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. Aerial photographs and Lidar show a substantial palaeochannel running in a loop through the site, suggesting there may be the potential for preserved palaeoenvironmental remains and alluvial sediment sequences within the site.


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



Significance:

Unknown.


Lidar coverage shows drainage ditches within the site, as well as the more irregular course of a probable former stream running roughly in a loop through the site, heading northeast from the southeast side of the southern field, then turning north and continuing northeast across the northern field towards the Old Ea Beck. The route of this palaeochannel pre-dates the 1851 map and probably the 1761 Enclosure Award. The allotments at the west side of the northern field are visible in the Lidar data, as well as a possible triangular enclosure at the eastern corner of the southern field which may be quite modern. Aerial photography from 2002-2015 also shows the palaeochannel as variously soil marks and cropmarks across the site. The fields are shown as mainly under arable cultivation, with an area at the western side of the northern part of the site being grassland on former allotments.

The SMR records one monument within the site. This is the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, where frequent remains of Roman pottery kilns have been recorded. This extends throughout the buffer. Six further monuments are recorded within the buffer zone the site of a manor house of possible post-medieval date to the immediate northwest of the site: a medieval hall and fishponds and a late Neolithic/early Bronze Age pit to the southeast; and possible Iron Age/Romano-British cropmarks to the northeast. Two events are also recorded within the buffer, an evaluation at Main Street which recorded the Neolithic/Bronze Age pit, and a geophysical survey associated with construction of a water pipeline.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed building is recorded within the buffer, a mounting block adjacent to a public house.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded an area of 20th-century sand and gravel extraction within the buffer to the southeast of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and much of the buffer as drained wetland, enclosed prior to the 1778 Enclosure Award. Other character zones within the buffer include modern agglomerated fields, detached housing and a private housing estate.

The site currently has a large, recent pond in the southern side, Willow Farm in the northern corner, and the remainder is grassed.


The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of three fields, one divided by a drainage ditch called Old Mill Dike, aligned northeast to southwest through the site. The River Torne's canalised route ran along the southeast boundary of the site. A further boundary marked by a row of trees subdivided one of the fields on the 1892 map. Millhouse Farm was constructed in the northern corner of the site by 1981, in a small enclosure, and the internal field boundaries other than the drain had been removed. The farm consisted of one house (accessed from Doncaster Road) and a rectangular barn orientated northeast-southwest to the rear of the house.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Auckley Manor House to the east of the site at Dam End. Other than the amalgamation of fields, no substantial changes were shown within the buffer until the 1980s, when some further housing had been built to the east at Auckley.

Survival:

Within the immediate grounds of Millhouse Farm the footings and services of the house and barn are likely to have truncated or disturbed any archaeological features or deposits. Twenty-first-century aerial coverage indicates extensive landscaping and the formation of at least two ponds on the site. This will have resulted in the removal of any features relating to Old Mill Dike as well as truncated or destroyed any below-ground archaeological features and deposits. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is likely to be negligible to low.


Further archaeological investigation is not likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.




The 2002-2015 aerial photographs indicate multiple changes within the site. In 2002 the site is shown as largely unchanged from the 1992 map, with a cropmark of a possible palaeochannel running roughly parallel with and south of the Old Mill Dike, though on a more meandering course. A narrow enclosure extends along the northern edge of the site and appears to be land associated with Willow Farm. The site was maintained as grassland. By 2005 a large U-shaped pond had been established within the centre of the site and the remainder of the site was undergoing landscaping, possibly using material excavated from the pond. In 2008, the pond was shown as sub-square in shape. By 2015, the landscaped site had become grassed over. No Lidar data is available for this site.

These in turn were split into 6 areas for geophysical investigation. Responses thought to be archaeological in nature were found in areas within Areas 3 and 6. Area 3 revealed several pit-type anomalies that are bounded by a former field-system/track. Within Area 6 a number of former field systems have been identified. Ridge and furrow has also been found within two of the areas, while modern ploughing also visible throughout data sets. Field drains have been identified within some areas, the most elaborate within Area 6 where a herringbone pattern can be seen.

The Historic Environment Characterisation describes the site and the majority of the buffer zone as residential, planned estate (Social Housing) with limited visibility of former parliamentary enclosure. Within the southeast of the buffer zone a parcel of terraced housing is recorded.

The site comprises a small strip of undeveloped scrubland surrounded by housing estates.


Historic mapping prior to the 1948-50 OS map depicted the site as part of a much larger field orientated east-west within a rural agricultural setting characterised by small to medium-sized rectangular fields. By 1948-50 Corona Drive had been established to the immediate west of the site and residential house within the north, northwest and southeast of the buffer zone was under development. The site was shown as a small area of undeveloped land entirely enclosed by housing estates by 1962.

Survival:

Although there has been no development on the site, it may have undergone ground disturbance and landscaping during the construction of the surrounding housing estates during the 20th century. The potential for the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be low.


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

Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs depict the site as under mixed scrub grassland. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR does not record any features 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 or the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site as Drained Wetland, enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1825 with no legibility of former common land. The character types for the edges of the site and within the buffer are Planned Estate (Social Housing), Other Industry and Private Housing Estate.

Historic landfill data records the Brickworks, King Edward Road, Thorne, within the buffer zone of the site.

The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1825.


No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire or Christopher Greenwood’s 1817 map of the county. The site was shown as part of a field on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. No features were shown within the site at that date and none have been marked on subsequent Ordnance Survey maps.

Within the buffer zone, a drain was shown immediately to the north of the site in 1825, with Broadbent Gate Road and Marshland Road extant at that date. Little change had occurred by 1854, although a brick works had been established to the south by 1892 and had been extended by 1932. Moorville had been constructed by that date, along with a housing development to the south. Further houses had been constructed to the south-east by 1950 and to the west by 1956. An engineering works was shown to the south-west of the site in 1962, while further housing had been built in the north-west part of the buffer zone by 1987.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.

The SMR records one monument within the site, the site of the 19th-century Providence Glassworks, located at the western side of the site. Four findspots are located within the buffer zone, all surface finds of flint artefacts, mainly dating to the Mesolithic period and recovered from near Cadeby Cliff to the northeast of the site and the Ings to the northwest.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One grade II listed milepost is located within the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, 20th-century air raid shelters and post-medieval terraced ground in the southern part of the buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the landscape character within the site as a mixture of Modern Regenerated Scrubland and Suburban Commercial Core. The regenerated scrubland is on the site of the former Providence Glass Works at the western end of the site, with an adjacent strip to the east formerly occupied by 19th-century housing. Further character zones within the buffer include Regenerated Scrubland on the site of Denaby Main Colliery, modern residential, commercial, educational and leisure development in Denaby, all dating from the 20th century, with the sites of reclaimed coal mining spoil heaps to the north at the Ings, and former Cadeby Main Colliery to the northeast at the Earth Centre.

Historic Landfill data records an area of former infill to the immediate east of the site, at ‘River Don and Conisbrough Station’. The nature of the infill is not recorded.

The site is currently a car parking area surfaced with hardcore, with a modern lightweight building at the eastern end.


The 1851 map showed the site occupied by fields, many of which were narrow with sinuous boundaries characteristic of enclosure from medieval open field. The River Don ran on a different route to its current alignment, forming a wide meander with the land extending further north than it does at present. The central area of the site was labelled 'Wrangholme', with the bend of the river at the southeast end of the meander labelled 'The Devil's Elbow'. The course of a silted up former meander of the river was shown within a field in the eastern part of the wide meander, as an isolated crescent-shaped pond with adjacent osier bed. This was north of the current area of the site. The southern boundary was formed by a railway line. The 1892 map showed the Providence Glass Works at the western end of the site, with buildings labelled kilns, a series of other irregularly-shaped buildings, and an internal railway system linked to the main railway which formed the southern boundary of the site. Two rows of terraced housing were shown to the immediate west of the works. These buildings were accessed by Kilner’s Bridge over the railway and a road running along the south boundary of the site. The area to the west was shown as two fields, with many of the former boundaries having been removed. By 1906, the glass works had expanded further, and the bridge at the southeast end of the site was shown, crossing the river Don, with a road leading to it along the southern boundary of the site from Kilner's Bridge. The glassworks area was densely occupied by buildings by 1930, with the western row of housing having been demolished and replaced by factory buildings. Two semi-detached houses were shown at the southeast corner of the site (labelled Cadeby Villas in 1962). In 1956, the Providence Glass Works was still labelled, though all the kilns and buildings at the western side of the works had been demolished. Only a few structures were shown at the eastern side of the works site. In 1962, a colliery spoil tip covered the majority of the eastern side of the site. The former glass works buildings west of the spoil tip were labelled NCB Offices in 1975, with scrubland at the western tip of the site. By 1994, the entire site was shown as vacant land, with the road network still shown along the southern edge and road and footbridges over the Don at the eastern end. The route of the river had been straightened by this date, with a canalised section cut across the former meander. This forms the current boundary of the site.



Within the buffer, the 1851 map showed the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway running along the southern boundary of the site, and irregularly shaped fields between the railway and the river as well as south of the railway. Areas labelled Near Under Hill Field and Sandy Rood Field were located to the south of the railway, probably the names of medieval open fields that had previously extended up to the river. Cadeby Cliff was located in the northeast part of the buffer, Mexborough Low Lock at the northwest end, and North Cliff to the south. The 1894 map showed development at Denaby Main village, with housing to the south of the railway and in the southwest part of the buffer. Limekilns were shown to the south of Kilner's Bridge and Cadeby Colliery was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer, north of the River Don. Railway sidings associated with Denaby Main colliery were in the western part of the buffer. Denaby Main village and Cadeby Main colliery had both expanded by 1904 and further by 1956. A railway line linking Cadeby Main colliery to the main line had been built across the Don to the immediate west of the site by 1904. The 1967 map showed the buffer area north of the Don and west of Cadeby Main as almost entirely covered with spoil heap; these were still present in 1980, though the Cadeby Main and Denaby Main colliery buildings and railway infrastructure had all been demolished, the sites shown as vacant land.

Survival:

The extent of sub-surface survival is currently uncertain as the site has been landscaped following the closure of Cadeby and Denaby Main collieries, including the re-routing of the River Don along the northern boundary of the site. A spoil heap formerly covered most of the site, and it is uncertain whether this was entirely removed or used to build up the current land surface. The extent of works buildings and kilns shown at the late 19th-century Providence Glassworks at the western end of the site suggests that there is a high potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains associated with these structures.


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

Significance:

Remains associated with the glass works and workers’ housing could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Note: this site covers the same area as site 691.


The 2002 aerial photographs showed the central and eastern part of the site as a car park for the Earth Centre to the north of the new route of the River Don. Surfacing appeared to be mainly hardcore, and a modern lightweight building to the east may have been visitor facilities. To the west, the site was shown as rough grass. By 2008, the car park was no longer shown and the whole site appeared to have been either stripped of topsoil or covered with hardcore. No evidence for former buildings was visible. This remained unchanged by 2015, with the exception of some rough grass regeneration in places. Lidar coverage for the site is limited to the land immediately adjacent to the river, and does not shown any previously unrecorded features.

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 visible within the site on recent aerial images.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland and Modern Private Housing Estate. The character within the majority 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. Only a small section of the 1970s housing along the southern edge of the site intrudes into the site area, comprising one house fronting onto Bloomhill Road.

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 has been in agricultural use since at least 1825 and remains undeveloped land at the present day.


The site was shown as two fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. No change was shown within the site between 1854 and 1962. Structures were shown within the site on the 1971 OS map, including a house on the Bloomhill Road frontage, and unlabelled buildings in both fields, possibly sheds or outbuildings. These were not shown on the 1991 OS map, which depicted a new boundary dividing the eastern field from the grounds of the housing to the south.

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 south-west of the site by 1991.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 469 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. The site of a shed or outbuilding building shown in 1971-1980 in the eastern field is visible as a building platform, with small structures or sheds in the western field in a different location to that of a larger outbuilding shown in 1971, and there is no sign of the earlier building.

There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

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.

There are no SMR records 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 records a 20th-century military airfield on the site and extending throughout the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a planned estate of former RAF married quarters. Before its construction, the area of RAF Lindholme was surveyed drained farmland, created from the former raised mire of Hatfield Moor by Parliamentary Enclosure award in 1825. There is no legibility of pre RAF landscape within this area. The eastern end of the buffer zone is characterised as a military airfield which is complete in plan, although is now part of HMP Lindholme and used as an Immigration Removal Centre. The north of the site is characterised as a prison, HMP Moorlands, built around 1985.

The site currently comprises an irregularly-shaped parcel of land, bisected by a small road aligned approximately east-west through the centre. The site is currently scrub wasteland and is surrounded by modern structures.


The site is shown on the 1854 map within an area of fields which are labelled Fishlake (detached). There is no change depicted within the site until the 1956 map, when it is shown to be located within Lindholme Airfield, although there is no mapping detail within the airfield itself. However, it is known that the site became part of the airfield before that time, although was not depicted on maps for security reasons. The airfield was constructed in advance of WWII and during much of the war functioned as a training base for heavy bombers. Work began on the airbase in the spring of 1938, taking in approximately 250 acres of pasture for the airfield itself and a further 150 for the camp and support facilities. Hampden, Manchester, Wellington and Lancaster aircraft were all based here, with the base considered the 'home of the Lancaster" as all Lancaster crews were trained at this base. Following WWII, the base became a solely training establishment for Bomber Command. Four structures are shown to exist on the site on the 1962 map, numbered 1-4 Blenheim Road. It is likely that these structures are earlier than this, but earlier maps lacked detail within the airfield. By the 1983 map these structures had been demolished, although all of the other structures on Blenheim Road remained.

Within the buffer zone, the area comprised fields in 1854. The modern A614 to the west of the site was extant at this time, although was unnamed. Small patches of woodland were dotted throughout the buffer zone, with an old gravel pit marked to the south-west of the site. There is no change within the buffer zone until 1956, when the whole are is marked as an airfield, although detail within the airfield itself is not depicted. As noted above, the area became an airfield in the 1930s, but the area is still shown as fields until 1956. The 1962 map demonstrates that the southern, eastern and western ends of the buffer zone contained buildings; to the south and east which appear to be houses, and to the east which appear more functional in nature, perhaps control towers, administrative buildings and recreational buildings. The area to the north contained the runways. The site remains unchanged on the 1983 map.

Survival:

Four houses were shown within the site by 1938, associated with RAF Lindenholme. The houses have since been demolished. Due to the lack of development on the site since, below-ground remains of these structures are likely to survive well. Outside of the footprint of these structures, the potential for survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate.





Significance:

Remains of the RAF houses may be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.


RAF Lindholme was sold in 1985 to the Prison Service, although the site has remained much the same and there is no change evident from the 1983 map on twenty-first century aerial photographs. The site has remained an irregular parcel of land between the structures of married quarters of the former RAF base. Blenheim Road bisects the site, and the site appears to currently be scrub wasteland. Within the buffer zone, major change has occurred to the north of the site since the 1983 map, with the construction of HMP Moorlands over the previous runways of the airfield. The outline of the runways can still identified on aerial photographs. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

he SMR records two monuments within the site, both continuing into the buffer. One findspot is recorded within the buffer. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the site and buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, though its exact location has not been proved within this area and remains speculative. A Roman coin was found in a field near the crematorium, near the northeast edge of the buffer.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the northern part of the buffer zone, earthworks and structures associated with a rifle range were recorded on a photograph dated to 1946, in an area since built over.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northern part of the buffer as Rosehill Cemetery, created in the late 1950s with no legibility of former piecemeal enclosures. The cemetery was probably established in association with early to mid-20th-century housing development in the area. Further character zones within the buffer include plantations to the southeast of the site, private and social housing estates and detached houses to the north, west and south, and Parliamentary Enclosure fields at the northwest edge.

The site is currently a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is at the northwest edge. The southeast corner of the site is bounded by the drive to the crematorium. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as the southwest end of a larger field, with the southwest boundary formed by Sand Road. A lane to Wilby ran through the southeast side of the site on a northeast-southwest alignment. The 1892 map showed a small enclosure and adjacent structure, possibly a barn, within a wooded area at the southeast end of the site, south of the Wilby lane. Between 1903 and 1930, loss of boundaries meant that the site was part of one much larger field. The lane to Wilby was still shown. By 1937, the current northern boundary was depicted, and the Wilby lane had been removed. The western boundary had been established by 1960, when Ascot Avenue was first shown, and by that date the site was shown in its current layout. The small barn structure shown in 1892 was depicted as a 'ruin' in 1960.

Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed a lodge to the immediate southeast of the site, surrounded by Lodge Plantation. The lodge was adjacent to a drive leading into Cantley Park. The remaining area was fields, some to the north of the Sand Road having sinuous boundaries and recorded as Micklehill Field, whilst those to the south of the road were regular in shape and suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure from commons. Rose Hill was shown at the western edge of the buffer. Between 1903 and 1930, the area to the south of Sand Road (now Cantley Lane) was developed with detached housing in well spaced garden plots. Denser housing was shown in the western part of the buffer. The South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been constructed at the western side of the buffer, and a rifle range was shown to the north of the site. Rose Hill Cemetery had been established to the north of the site by 1937, with a mortuary chapel and entrance lodge. A crematorium was shown to the east of the cemetery, accessed via the drive from Cantley Lodge, by 1960. At that date, housing covered the former rifle range to the north of the site. Other than further housing infill, the buffer remained unchanged by 1993.

Survival:

No evidence for sub-surface disturbance has been shown on any of the historic maps or aerial photographs. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Roman



pottery kilns, associated settlement and agriculture have been recorded within the area, and a supposed route of a Roman road runs through the site.


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

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with the Roman road and pottery industries could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Note: Site 473 is within the area covered by slightly larger site 400.


The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is located at the northwest edge, and a drive to the crematorium runs through the southeast corner, which contains trees that may form part of Lodge Plantation. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue. The area to the north of the site is shown as grave plots, but no evidence for graves continuing into the site is visible. The 2008 aerial view showed a construction compound within the site, to the east of the car parking area. This had a tarmac or hardcore surface and no permanent buildings, and had gone by 2009 when its location was grassed over. The site of the former compound is visible in the Lidar data, as is a small circular mound of uncertain origin to the south of the car park, not visible on aerial photographs.

Allocation Reference: 474 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Sunnyside Depot, Edenthorpe



The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. One findspot and four events are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspot was of an undated iron axe head found near Sandall Stones Road to the northwest of the site, where geophysical surveys and trial trenching identified one linear ditch probably associated with an Iron Age to Roman field boundary. A geophysical survey to the south, off Hungerhill Lane, revealed possibly natural features that did not correspond with the recorded cropmarks.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded 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. Iron Age to Roman boundary ditches were recorded as cropmark features within the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Semi-Detached Housing. These properties date to the early to mid-20th century. This area was enclosed by the 1746 Hexthorpe enclosure award. There is no legibility of the former landscape. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Planned Estate (Social Housing), Other Industry, School, Agglomerated Fields and Playing Field/Recreation Ground.

The site is currently occupied by a depot building and its car park.


The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. No changes were shown within the site until the 1930 map, when the land formed part of the gardens to the rear of properties on Doncaster Road. A detached building shown along the eastern site boundary at that date may have been a shed. A larger building was shown within the site in 1948. This was marked as a depot on the 1961 OS map. The possible shed was not shown at that date. A smaller building that stood to the east of the depot in 1967 was not shown in 1969. A rectangular building had been constructed in the south of the site by that date. The site was labelled ‘Council Depot’ in 1969. No changes were shown within the site on the 1983 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Dodge Dike, Carr Plantation, Thorne Road, Holly Buck Lane, Near Sandall Field, Church Balk and Hunger Hill. Carr Dike was labelled on the 1892 map. Housing and an orchard were shown on the 1930 OS map, with further housing and a playing field by 1962 and various industrial buildings by 1982.

Survival:

The extent of disturbance of sub-surface deposits caused by the constriction of the mid-20th-century depot is currently unknown. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is currently unknown. Iron Age to Roman fields have been recorded within the buffer.



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as the Council depot and its car park. Lidar data does not



show any evidence for archaeological features within the site.

ESY319 Geophysical Survey of Land off Doncaster Road

Geophysical survey detected a number of faint linear, curvilinear and pit-type anomalies. However, the survey evidence does not correspond with the aerial photograph evidence, which could suggest that the features have been destroyed since the aerial photographs were taken.

Y

ESY475 Archaeological Evaluation of land off Hungerhill Lane

In 2002 a second programme of geophysical survey was conducted on land off Hungerhill Lane covering over 14 hectares. This revealed several linear anomalies that did not correspond with cropmark evidence or old field boundaries. It is possible that they may be natural features.

Y

ESY1461 Geophysical survey at Sandall Stones Road

Geophysical survey identified features likely to have been associated with ridge and furrow agricultural regimes, along with the route of a drain known from historic mapping. Other anomalies were likely due to buried ferrous material and other modern features.

Y

ESY1462 Trial trenching at Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate, Sandall Stones Road

Twelve trenches were excavated at Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate. Only one trench contained archaeology, this comprising a ditch, a gully and an irregularly shaped feature. The area round this trench was enlarged and a longer stretch of the ditch recorded. No artefacts were recovered from the features, and a small number of unstratified finds were recovered from the ploughsoil. It is likely that the ditch represents an Iron Age to Romano-British field boundary.

There are no SMR records 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 records fragmentary traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow within the buffer zone, to the north and south of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and some of the southern buffer zone as drained wetland, which was probably former wetland common. The establishment of the current drained wetland probably dates to the Campsall, Askern and Norton Enclosure Award of 1818. There is no legibility of earlier wetland common. Further character types within the buffer zone include agglomerated fields, modern housing and barracks.

The site is located at the south-western end of Askern. To the north is a modern housing estate, with fields to the south.


The site is located over three narrow rectangular fields in 1854, which formed part of Askern Common. The current site boundaries were mostly extant at this time as drains to the south and west and a footpath to the east. By 1893 there had been the loss of an internal field boundary within the site. There was no change shown on the site on the 1986 map.

In 1854 the majority of the area surrounding the site was mainly narrow rectangular fields which were part of Askern Common. Moor House was present to the immediate north of the site, and Askern Common Plantation was located to the south-west of the site. By 1893 the plantation had expanded to the east. Moor House had been renamed The Grange by 1906. By 1975 a modern housing estate had been developed at the northern extreme of the buffer zone, with another housing estate developed to the west of the site by 1984.

Survival:

The site was part of a wetland common before it was drained around 1818. Drainage and arable cultivation may have caused some damage to sub-surface deposits through truncation and desiccation. Below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.


Aerial photographs from 2002 demonstrate that the northern site boundary had been established by 2002, with the creation of a housing estate to the immediate north of the site. The site is currently two fields, used as arable land. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment


The SMR records two findspots, three monuments and two within the site. The monuments comprise a large

enclosure and field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date, identified as cropmarks within the northwest

part of the site; and a major Roman road leading from York to Lincoln via Doncaster. The road has two monument

records, relating to its suggested route and to the route as demonstrated by surviving earthwork remains. It is

also a Scheduled Monument. The events also relate to this road, involving a walkover survey and evaluation

trenching, which identified part of the probable road surface towards the southern end of the monument. The

road continues into the buffer. The two findspots are both of Roman coins found on the field surface, though the

text for each suggests they were identical and may be the same coin recorded twice.

Three further monuments, a findspot and four events are recorded within the buffer. The monuments are

enclosures and field boundaries recorded as cropmarks to the north, south and southwest of the site, forming

part of a wider landscape of Iron Age to Roman agriculture and dispersed settlement within the area. The events

comprised a geophysical survey at Don Valley School that identified the possible remains of Scawthorpe Grange

at the northeast edge of the buffer; geophysical survey, evaluation and excavation at York Road park and ride at

the northeast corner of the buffer, which identified Roman settlement enclosures and an earlier trackway; and

evaluation trenching at Emley Drive to the south, which did not recover any archaeological features, though some

abraded Roman pottery was found in the plough soil.

One Scheduled Monument is recorded within the site and buffer, the Roman Ridge Roman road, with the

Scheduled area just extending into the southwest edge of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded the sub-

rectangular enclosure at the northwest side of the site, with associated field boundaries and fragmentary remains

of a trackway within the eastern part of the site. The enclosure is the feature recorded on the SMR and is

probably of Iron Age to Roman date. Further remains of similar enclosures, field boundaries and trackways are

recorded within the buffer to the north, south and west of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northwest and southeast

parts of the buffer as agglomerated fields created through the loss of boundaries in the 20th century with only

partial legibility of the former Parliamentary Enclosure fields dating to 1761. Further character zones within the

buffer include further agglomerated fields to the southwest and northeast corner, a mixture of semi-detached,

detached and social housing estates, and a school.

The site is currently two fields in arable cultivation. It is bounded to the north by Green Lane, to the west by the

Roman Ridge bridleway, and to the east by the rear of housing plots.


The 1854 map shows the site as six fields, bounded to the north by Green Lane, to the east by York Road (the

Great North Road) and to the southwest by the Roman Ridge Roman road. The fields had regular boundaries

characteristic of Parliamentary Enclosure, and the area was called Scawthorpe Field. Internal field boundaries

were gradually removed after 1971, though four fields were still shown in 1992.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows Scawthorpe Farm immediately to the southeast of the site. A small area

of quarrying was shown at the junction of Green Lane and York Road, with another quarry and a limekiln to the

east. Other than the roads, including Middle Gate and Long Edge Lane heading east from York Road, the

remainder of the buffer was fields. The 1892 map showed ornamental gardens to the east of Scawthorpe Farm,

and a lodge at the entrance of a newly-created curving driveway, suggesting the farm had become a house of

some substance. It had a small gasometer to the rear. A further house and gardens were shown to the north of

the farm, and one of the quarries to the northeast was disused. In 1906, a small group of terraced cottages were

shown to the immediate west of Scawthorpe Farm. By 1930 a few houses were shown to the east of York Road,

with a housing estate further to the east under construction in 1948. By 1956, a row of houses had been built



along Green Lane, up to the northeast edge of the site and further housing was shown at the northwest corner of

the buffer. Scawthorpe Farm had been renamed Scawthorpe Hall by 1961. A small reservoir was shown to the

northeast of the site, east of York Road, by 1992, behind housing.

Survival:

The site has been in intensive arable cultivation in the later 20th century, and this may have disturbed and

truncated sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the plough zone is

considered to be high. An enclosure and field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date have been

recorded as cropmarks within the northwest part of the site, and there is the potential for similar remains to

extend throughout the site. A Roman road runs along the southwest boundary and associated deposits may

continue into the southwest edge of the site.


Further archaeological investigations will be required if the site is brought forward for development. The impact

of development on the setting of the Roman Ridge Scheduled Monument should also be considered.

Significance:

The Roman road along the southwest boundary is a Scheduled Monument, and thus of National archaeological

significance. The Scheduled area extends into the southwest edge of the site. Remains of Iron Age to Roman

settlement and agricultural activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on the nature, extent

and condition of surviving remains.


Summary:

The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site as one large field to the north, with the southern part of the site

forming part of the larger Broad Axe Field to the south. Both were in arable cultivation. On the 2015 photograph,

a partial boundary was shown along the current southeast site boundary, though the field still appeared to be

cultivated as part of Broad Axe Field. No cropmarks are visible within the field on any of the photographs, but

these were not taken at a suitable time in the cropping regime for these to show clearly. Lidar data shows the

Roman Ridge along the southwest boundary of the site as a path and low bank. No features of archaeological

interest are visible within the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer: a Roman coin found on waste ground to the immediate northeast of the site (possibly within the site as the location information may not be detailed); and a watching brief extending into the southwest edge of the buffer, which did not record any archaeological features.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. One grade II listed building is within the buffer, a milepost on Askern Road, to the north of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded three areas of earthwork ridge and furrow within the site in the 1940s and 1960, two areas at the southern end of the site and one just to the south of the allotments at the northern end. Further ridge and furrow was recorded within the buffer to the south and southeast of the site. Within the western side of the buffer, fragmentary remains of linear ditches were recorded as cropmarks, probably part of Iron Age to Roman fields, trackways and a small enclosure.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the southwest two thirds of the site and most of the western and southern buffer as agglomerated fields, created through boundary loss in the 20th century and resulting in no visibility of the former strip field enclosures from medieval open field. The northeast part of the site is recorded as allotments, probably contemporary with the development of Bentley New Village in the early 20th century, also with no visibility of earlier strip fields. Within the buffer, Bentley New Village is located just to the northeast of the site, a model colliery village rapidly developed following the sinking of Bentley Colliery from 1905-7. The housing closest to the site is mainly terraced, in grid-pattern streets, with a more geometric 'garden village' street layout further to the northeast. Further character zones include Parliamentary Enclosure fields on the former Adwick Common in the northwest part of the buffer, private and social housing estates, semi-detached housing to the east, northwest and southwest, and a miner's welfare park to the southeast of the site.

The larger southwest part of the site is currently fields in arable cultivation., with some surviving hedgerow boundaries. A footpath and dyke run along the northeast edge of this area, on a northwest to southeast alignment, and the part of the site to the northeast of this includes grassed areas and allotment gardens.


Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire showed Mill Dyke running through the northeast part of the site on a northwest-southeast alignment. This feature appears to have been the goit for the 17th-century Bentley Mill to the southeast. The majority of the site was shown as fields on the 1854 and 1892 OS maps, with land drains forming several of the plot boundaries. The fields had slightly curving boundaries suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field. A sluice was marked along the course of Mill Dike in 1892, at the intersection between a drainage ditch and the goit, and a footpath ran along the northeast side of the dike. The 1930 map showed that the northeast end of the site had become allotment gardens, with the current northeast site boundary established by the edge of housing plots. The western site boundary had also been established by this date, by the construction of the LNER railway line. Allotment gardens were also shown along the south-eastern edge of the site in 1955, though not on the 1959 map. By 1959, a triangular pond occupied the site of the 19th-century sluice along Mill Dike at its junction with a drainage ditch shown as the North Swaithe Dyke, but was not shown on the 1972 OS map.

Within the buffer zone, the MSLR railway line had been constructed by 1854, when the track was crossed by Mill Dike Bridge. The surrounding area was mainly fields, with a small area of settlement at Rostall, in the eastern part of the buffer (shown as 'Wrostholme' in 1907). Bentley's historic core was located to the southeast, just outside the buffer. Bentley New Village was constructed to the northeast of the site by 1930, with most of the former buildings at 'Rostholme' removed, Yewtree Farm to the east of the site being the main survivor. The Miners’



Welfare Park was laid out to the southeast of the site by 1930. The LNER railway was disused by 1976, though the embankment survives. Yewtree Farm was marked as a house in 1980. Further housing had been built in the northern part of the buffer by 1982 to the north of the site.

Survival:

Arable cultivation in the larger southwest part of the site is likely to have caused some truncation of underlying deposits, but the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. Within the northeast part of the site, earthwork remains of ridge and furrow survive as earthwork features. This also indicates that the potential for preservation of any earlier buried deposits below the ridge and furrow is moderate to high. The allotments along the northeast side of the site may have caused some disturbance to sub-surface deposits through gardening activity, though the potential for survival of buried remains below this shallow disturbance is moderate. Iron Age to Roman trackways and field systems have been recorded as cropmarks to the west of the site, and a Roman coin was found in the vicinity, if not within the site itself. There is the potential for buried Roman remains within the site.

Though the site is within an area characterised as having no legibility of the historic enclosure pattern, most of the boundaries within the southwest part of the site were shown on the 1854 map and retain some character of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field.


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

Significance:

Mill Dyke and the preserved ridge and furrow earthworks constitute heritage assets of Local archaeological significance. Remains of Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the larger southwest part of the site as three to four arable fields, with some surviving hedgerow boundaries. The North Swaithe Dyke is no longer shown within the site, having been infilled and levelled. Mill Dyke and the footpath along it are still extant within the site, dividing the arable fields from narrower grassed fields to the northeast, with allotments shown along the northeast edge of the site. To the north of the site, new housing had been built between 1992 and 2002, creating the current northern boundary of the site. To the southeast of the site, Yew Tree Farm had been demolished by 2002 and a new housing estate built on its site.

Lidar data shows the current field boundaries, and also a slight hollow on the route of the North Swaithe Dyke through the southern part of the site, which appears from aerial photographs to have been infilled. Mill Dike is shown as a substantial ditch and bank running through the site. No ridge and furrow remains are shown in the southern part of the site, indicating that the earthworks recorded in the 1940s-60s have been levelled by ploughing. Within the grassed area to the immediate northeast of Mill Dyke, the remains of ridge and furrow earthworks are still visible, mainly aligned parallel to the dyke, but with three east-west aligned ridges at the northern end of the area recorded by the Magnesian Limestone mapping project. The allotment area is visible as slightly disturbed ground.
