Archaeology Scoping Study: Doncaster Local Plan Scoping Report Report No 2016/23 ii

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This report presents the results of an archaeological scoping study of 567 sites that are being considered for potential allocation for development or mineral extraction as part of the Doncaster Local Plan. The objective of the archaeology scoping study was to establish the cultural heritage of the sites, thereby contributing to the evidence base of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council’s Local Plan. This was achieved by collating existing archaeological, historical, cartographic and aerial photographic information in order to identify the cultural heritage assets within each site and their immediate environs, as well as factors which may have affected the preservation of known and unrecorded heritage assets within the sites. This information allow an assessment to be made of the archaeological potential and significance of each site and their suitability for allocation within the Local Plan. The scoping study also aimed to identify major constraints on allocation, such as the presence of statutorily designated archaeological sites, significant non-designated archaeological sites and important historic landscapes. In order to provide a rapid visual indicator of the suitability for allocation, each site has been colour-coded according to potential archaeological constraints. Here, the term ‘archaeological’ refers to all cultural heritage assets, including standing buildings, monuments and buried deposits. Where significant differences in the potential for preservation was identified within individual sites, these were split into more than one allocation category. Historic landscape significance has been identified separately to archaeological constraints, to indicate areas where the layout of the fields preserves the pattern of historic land use. This category was adopted to highlight the importance of preserving historic landscape character, and is additional to, and exclusive of, the potential for standing or buried cultural heritage assets. The archaeology scoping study has identified 33 sites which are considered to have a major archaeological objection to allocation, and 6 sites which fall partially within this category. Six sites have a significant historic landscape objection. There are 106 sites which have no archaeological objection to allocation, with 13 sites partially within this category. Of the 567 sites, 414 are classified as having an uncertain archaeological constraint to allocation, with 13 sites having a partial uncertain designation.

Archaeology Scoping Study: Doncaster Local Plan Scoping Report Report No 2016/23 1

1 INTRODUCTION This report is an archaeological scoping study of 567 sites that are being considered for potential allocation for development or mineral extraction as part of the Doncaster Local Plan. The scoping study was undertaken to establish any potential archaeological and cultural heritage constraints on the allocation of the proposal sites, to ensure that the historic environment is integrated into planning policy in the Borough, and that planning decisions are based on knowledge of the nature, extent and level of significance of affected heritage assets, as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 126). The scoping assessment will allow the DMBC to understand the likelihood of substantial harm to, or loss of, heritage assets of archaeological significance as a result of site allocation, and to understand impacts that might reduce the capacity of the sites to accommodate archaeological mitigation. The archaeological scoping study will contribute to the evidence base for Doncaster’s Local Plan, and ensure that its development targets are based on an understanding of the local archaeological resource. The scoping study establishes the known or expected archaeological potential and potential historic landscape significance of the sites proposed for allocation for future development and reviews the recommendations for sites previously assessed in 2013, in the light of new and recently-available data.

3 CONTENT OF SITE REPORTS The details for each site are presented in individual site summary reports (Volume 2). The major heading are outlined below.

3.1 Key information Key information about the site allocation reference number, size, location, etc, was provided by the client in tabular form and as a GIS shapefile.

3.2 Map A map has been produced overlying all information gathered during the scoping exercise, in point, polyline or polygon format. The 250m buffer zone is also shown. Each site has been colour-coded red, yellow or green, according to its suitability for allocation. Sites with an uncertain archaeological constraint which have major historic landscape significance have been colour-coded purple.

3.3 Summary Key attributes have been summarised in table form (e.g. number of designated, recorded heritage assets, etc) according to whether they fall within the site itself or the buffer zone.

3.4 Allocation recommendation This states the archaeological significance of the site and the significance of the historic landscape, based on the available evidence, and the suitability of the site for allocation.

3.5 Site assessment The free text box contains a summary of information gathered from all data sources. It includes a summary of the recorded heritage assets and archaeological events, historic environment characterisation, recorded cropmark information and an assessment of recent aerial photographs and Lidar data, historic map regression and recorded historic land use data. From this information, an assessment is made of the potential for the survival of earthwork features, structures and buried archaeological deposits within the site, the likely requirement for further archaeological investigation, and an assessment of the significance of identified archaeological remains.

Allocation Reference: 001 Area (Ha): 73.63 Allocation Type: Employment NGR (centre): SE 6790 1514 Site Name: Junction 8 M18, Thorne North Settlement: Thorne Moorends

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, a Royal Observer Corps underground monitoring post dating to the Cold War, which has been demolished. One event is recorded within the buffer zone, a coring survey undertaken to identify any sub-surface deposits that could indicate the potential for previous settlement. No listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records earthwork and plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow within the northern part of the site and in the buffer zone, though no earthwork remains are visible within the site on recent aerial mapping. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, former common land depicted as newly laid out allotments on the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure plan. There is no legibility of the former commons, with the present boundaries largely defined by 19th century drainage layout. The character of the buffer is defined as Drained Wetland; Agglomerated fields; Modern Valley Floor Meadows; Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions; Distribution Centre; Utilities; and Other Industry. The site currently comprises a group of regular fields, mainly in arable use. These retain many of the boundaries shown on the 1854 OS map, marked by field drains. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: Josias Arlebout’s 1639 map of Hatfield Chase showed the site as part of Thorne Common, with the site forming part of North Common at the time of the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake Enclosure Award. The majority of the site’s enclosure boundaries remained extant in 1854, when several of the fields were bounded by land drains. Pearson’s Drain, in the southwest of the site, was the only such feature to be named on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Little change has occurred within the site since that date. The 1960s Royal Observer Corp observation post was not marked on any publicly-available maps. Within the buffer zone, the A614 was marked as the Bawtry and Selby Trust turnpike road on the 1854 OS map, while Dikesmarsh Road and Land End Road were shown along the south and east site boundaries. Hangsman Hill Ferry was also shown within the buffer zone at that date. Jubilee Bridge Farm had been constructed by 1966 but was derelict by the 21st century. The M18 had been constructed to the east of the site by 1980. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate to high. The Royal Observer Corp observation post has been demolished; as this was an underground facility, sub-surface features may remain, but their extent and condition is unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Royal Observer Corps observation post would be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable fields, with the exception of a small area of pasture at the southwest. Former watercourses are visible as infilled channels. It is not clear if these were open channels that were infilled after the area was drained during the 17th century or earlier features. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2005, 2008, 2015. Bing Maps: 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event is recorded within the buffer zone, comprising a coring survey undertaken to examine sub-surface deposits to identify any raised land that may have attracted settlement. This recorded the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no evidence for the continuation of the Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits 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 did not record any features within the site. Plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded within the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer as Industrial to Modern Drained Wetland. This character area 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. 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 is currently part of a larger field and has been in agricultural use since at least 1825. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. The enclosure boundaries remained extant at the time of the 1854 OS map and were marked as drains on the 1892 map. No changes had occurred within the site by 1932. The 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1984, although a drain continued to be marked at that date. Within the buffer zone, Bloom Hill Road was extant by 1825. The Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway had been constructed along the western site boundary by 1892. A billiards hall had been constructed in the eastern part of the buffer zone by that date. The Moorends Comrades Club and Institute had been built in this part of the buffer zone by 1962, with housing by 1980. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as part of a large field in arable cultivation. The 2002 photograph shows a removed field boundary as a soilmark at the southern edge of the site. There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

One event is recorded in the buffer zone, comprising a coring survey undertaken to examine sub-surface deposits, to identify any raised land that may have attracted settlement. This recorded the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no evidence for the continuation of the Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits into the area. 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. Within the buffer zone, post medieval ridge and furrow is recorded to the northwest of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Industrial to Modern Drained Wetland and Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing).This character area 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. 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 is currently part of a larger field and has been in agricultural use since at least 1825, with some boundary loss since 1850. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne Enclosure map. No change was shown within the site between the 1854 and 1971 OS maps, although the 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1987. Within the buffer zone, Alexandra Street was marked as ‘Lands End Lane’ on the 1841 OS map. The Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway had been constructed to the west of the site by 1892, which modified the course of North Common Drain in this part of the buffer zone. Housing development took place to the south and east of the site between 1956 and 1971. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, find spots or events within the site or within the buffer zone. No listed buildings or scheduled monuments 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 or the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Industrial to Modern Drained Wetland. This character area is defined as land enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, with no legibility of former common land. The present boundaries within this character area are largely defined by the 19th century drainage layout. The majority of the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes. Historic landfill data records the Brickworks, King Edward Road, Thorne, as being to the south of the site, partially within the buffer zone. The site is currently part of a field and has been in agricultural use since at least 1825. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: Depicted as rough ground by Jefferys (1775) the site is depicted as newly laid out allotments on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. The enclosure boundaries remained extant at the time of the 1854 OS map and appear to have remained until at least 1956. The former field boundaries appear to have been removed by 1962, although drains remain in some locations of the former field boundaries from then onwards. Within the buffer zone, Bloom Hill Road was extant by 1825. By 1892 the Brickworks had been constructed in the southern area of the buffer zone. Modern housing began to be developed within the buffer zone from the 1930s onwards. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events are recorded within the site and buffer zone No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site and 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 site and part of the buffer zone as a Planned Estate, a large municipal housing project probably built in the 1960s across an area of countryside enclosed from the former South Common and South Field of Thorne in 1825. Legibility of the earlier landscape is essentially invisible. The majority of the buffer zone is characterised as Drained Wetland, drained and enclosed from the medieval hunting park of Hatfield Chase by 1639. There is no legibility of the hunting chase but the early 17th- century drainage infrastructure survives across much of the character zone. The site is currently an area of rough grass at the edge of housing development. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map depicts the site and buffer zone as predominantly enclosed agricultural land, with few changes until the late 20th century. The current boundaries of the site were defined after 1989. Within the buffer zone, the 1853 map shows the Wike Gate Road on a north-south axis and the South Yorkshire Railway (later the London & North Eastern Railway) on an east-west alignment. Within the southwest of the buffer zone the remnant of North Common is identifiable, accessed from the west along Love Lane. The Stainforth and Keadby Canal winds through the buffer zone, south of the railway. By 1892 the North Common had been enclosed. Development within the west of the buffer zone, adjacent to Wike Gate Road is first recorded on the 1962 OS map, with Thorne Brooke Primary School built to the north by 1972. Development of the enclosed fields in which the site is located also began at this date. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as an area of rough grassland enclosed to the north and east by a mixed tree and hedged boundary. To the south and west the site is enclosed by a modern fence. Within the buffer zone to the east and north the 2009 aerial coverage depicts the fields under arable as displaying crop marks relating to earlier patterns of enclosure. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and extending across the buffer. This relates to a general area within which many features associated with Roman pottery production have been found. The potteries may be considered a single industrial entity that stretches across several kilometres to the east of Doncaster. To date, sites have been recorded in the parishes of Cantley, Rossington, Blaxton, Auckley and Doncaster. Within the buffer, there are six further monuments and one event, including medieval activity in the form of fish ponds, a moated site and hall within Auckley. Cropmarks relating to Iron Age/Roman activity are also recorded, as is a pit containing early Bronze Age pottery and late Neolithic flints on Main Street, discovered during an archaeological evaluation. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed building is recorded within the eastern part of the buffer, consisting of a mounting block adjacent to the northeast corner of the Eagle and Child Public House. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a 20th- century sand and gravel extraction site within the buffer to the south of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as located within an area of later 20th-century villas or detached housing covering the main area of the village of Auckley. Before the recent expansion the village consisted of farms and housing constructed in the vernacular tradition. Legibility of this is fragmentary as there are a few survivors. Other character zones within the buffer include two areas of drained wetland, modern agglomerated fields, modern private housing estates and a playing field. The site is currently maintained as open rough grassland/scrub with tree cover located primary along the border. To the north and east the site is bound by gardens, to the south Main Street and to the west the River Torne. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The current extent of the site has remained relatively un altered since the production of the 1854 OS map. Prior to 1961 the site was subdivided into two, split between north and south. The site is located at Dam End, the name deriving from a number of fish ponds located to the south of Main Street. Within the buffer to the south, a Manor House was depicted in 1854. By 1975, it had become the Side Saddle Country Club. Housing development was shown adjacent to the eastern side of the site by this date. Survival: The site has been under cultivation since at least 1854, and buried deposits may have been truncated by this activity. Below the level affected by ploughing, there is a moderate to high potential for the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeological features or deposits. The site lies within an area of known Roman activity, including the production of pottery, and Neolithic to Bronze Age finds and medieval activity have also been recorded within the buffer. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site be brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman activity and pottery production could be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their nature, condition and extent.

Allocation Reference: 008 Area (Ha): 0.68 Allocation Type: Housing NGR (centre): SE 6401 0760 Site Name: Wyndthorpe Farm, Dunsville Settlement: Hatfield Stainforth

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer, a linear earthwork of unknown date or function parallel with Thorne Road. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer, Wyndthorpe Hall, and a milepost west of the hall entrance. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded levelled ridge and furrow remains within the buffer zone to the north of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer as private parkland associated with Wyndthorpe Hall, probably created soon after the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area. Further character zones within the buffer include the putative extent of Hatfield medieval deer park, which retains the character of enclosure of the land following disparkment; the drained wetland enclosed from West Moor in the late 18th century with some visibility of the contemporary drainage layout; and 20th-century residential developments with fragmentary visibility of the 18th-century enclosure landscape. The site has been a field since at least the mid-19th century, possibly in use as pasture for much of this period. Former pigsties of early 20th-century date are located in the northwest corner. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of a field adjacent to farm buildings, with the current northern and southern boundaries shown at that date. A row of small buildings, probably pigsties, was shown along the northern boundary in 1930, and a narrow enclosure with two small structures was shown at the eastern edge of the site in 1962. These buildings were no longer shown by 1982, though the possible pigsties were still shown in 1992. Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed farm buildings to the west of the site and Park Lane Cottages to the east, with Park Lane Farm to the north. Park Lane Hall and park were shown to the south of Park Lane. The buildings to the north of the road were set within a series of regular fields characteristic of Parliamentary Enclosure. Park Lane Hall had been renamed Wyndthorpe Hall between 1906 and 1930. This was labelled as a residential nursery in 1962. By 1948, houses were under construction in rows to either side of High Street to the east of the site, with further housing development to the north of High Street by 1990, when Wyndthorpe Hall had become a residential home for the elderly. Survival: Due to the lack of significant ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. The pigsties in the northwest corner may be of some historic interest as part of the Wyndthorpe Farm complex. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: The pigsties within the site may be of Local archaeological significance. The significance of any buried archaeological remains is currently unknown.

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial coverage shows the site as rough grazing, with the probable pigsties still shown at the northwest edge, apparently brick-built, disused and overgrown. A nissen hut was shown at the western edge of the site at that date, but had been removed between 2003 and 2008. One structure and a possible area of hardstanding were shown in the small enclosure at the east side of the site. A small enclosure was visible to the southwest of the pigsties in 2009, expanded to the east by 2015. The farm buildings immediately west of the site are of brick construction and at least some appear to be of 19th- or early 20th-century date. Lidar coverage shows faint parallel lines aligned roughly east to west within the field. It is not clear if this relates to historic ridge and furrow remains or more recent cultivation, though the latter is more likely. Photograph references: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site. One event is recorded in the buffer zone, comprising a coring survey undertaken to examine sub-surface deposits, to identify any raised land that may have attracted settlement. This recorded the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no evidence for the continuation of the Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits into the area. 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 zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, former common land depicted as newly laid out allotments on the 1825 enclosure plan. There is no legibility of former common. The present boundaries are largely defined by the 19th-century drainage layout. The present character of the buffer zone is recorded as Industrial to Drained Wetland; Planned Estate (Social Housing) and Distribution Centre. The site is currently a narrow strip of rough grassland with hedged boundaries, adjacent to a railway line. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne Enclosure map. North Common Drain ran through part of the site in 1841, with Shepherd House Closes Drain marked on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Field boundaries and a field drain were the only features marked within the site on subsequent Ordnance Survey maps. Within the buffer zone, Lands End Road and North Common Drain were shown on the 1841 OS map. Alexandra Street was marked as ‘Lands End Lane’ at that date. Casson’s Road and High Trod Road, the present-day North Eastern Road, were shown in 1854, with the Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway constructed to the west of the site by 1892. Thorne North Station, Railway Cottages and a housing development were also shown in 1892. Housing developments took place in the buffer zone between 1956 and 1971. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as a strip of rough grassland bounded to the west by the railway and to the south by Lands End Road. It has hedged boundaries on the north and east sides, and a wider belt of trees on the western side. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

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.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site and buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records cropmarks of fragmentary field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date in the northern part of the buffer, part of a field system extending further to the north. Two isolated parallel ditches were recorded at the western edge of the buffer, again probably of Iron Age to Roman date. The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the southern half of the site as part of a private housing estate, with fragmentary legibility of the former surveyed enclosure landscape in the form of some hedgerows preserved within the development. The northern half of the site is characterised as surveyed enclosure within the former Hatfield deer park, retaining a semi regular pattern of straight sided enclosure. Further character zones within the buffer comprise private housing estates of mid- to late 20th-century date with no legibility of earlier surveyed enclosure. The site is currently a small field used as rough pasture. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: At the time of the 1854-55 OS map, the site was part of two fields within an area of semi-regular enclosure. By 1893, the fields had been amalgamated into one larger field. The site was still part of a field in 1948, with a building shown to the immediate east. The field was divided into two between 1980 and 1992, with the site forming the southern of the two fields. Within the buffer, two sand quarries or pits were shown in the eastern part of the buffer in 1930, expanding substantially by 1948, and still shown in 1962, partially disused at that date with some of the land having been reclaimed. By 1930 housing development had begun to the south and east of the site, though the area to the north and west remained fields. Development to the immediate south of the site was not shown until 1992, at which date a playing field had been laid out to the east of the site, on the former quarry site, which was shown as wooded in 1981. Survival: The site has been part of fields since at least 1825, and may have been cultivated for at least part of this period, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as a small field of rough grassland, enclosed to the west by a mixed hedge and tree boundary. There are trees and scrub at the western end of the site. Fields within the buffer-zone are utilised as arable. Lidar coverage shows two irregular linear earthworks towards the north end of the site, and a possible ring-shaped earthwork at the western side. The linear features are not visible on aerial

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site: Iron Age or Romano-British enclosures and a field system. The site has been covered by five events, investigating and recording the Iron Age to Roman settlement and field systems: two geophysical surveys, two watching briefs and an excavation. The SMR records four monuments within the buffer zone: two of which relate to excavated evidence for the Roman Ridge Roman road and its suggested route, and Iron Age or Romano-British trackways, enclosures and a field system alongside the road. Eleven events are recorded in the buffer: two archaeological evaluations, three geophysical surveys, three archaeological excavations, three watching briefs and a survey, targeted both on the Roman Ridge road and on the Iron Age and Romano-British field systems and enclosures that extend into the site. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument is located within the buffer to the immediate west of the site, the Roman Ridge Roman road. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a ditch in the western part of the site, with further cropmark ditches in several parts of the buffer zone associated with Iron Age to Romano-British field systems recorded on the SMR. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as modern warehousing. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions, Strip Fields and Planned Estate (Social Housing). The site is currently rough grassland between developed areas, with an area of hardstanding at the eastern side. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was part of a larger field on the 1851 OS map. Other than the removal of field boundaries, no further changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced after that date. Features depicted within the buffer zone on the 1851 OS map include fields, a limestone quarry, Red House, Red House Lane, the Doncaster and Tadcaster Trust turnpike road and the course of the Roman Ridge Roman road. By 1948, housing had been constructed in the southeast part of the buffer, with extensive housing to the south of the site and a factory to the north by 1961. The A638, the A1M Doncaster By-Pass and Junction 38 had been constructed by 1983. Survival: Geophysical surveys revealed extensive Iron Age to Roman settlement and field system features within the site. Subsequent archaeological evaluation, excavation and watching briefs have been undertaken to investigate these features, and it is unlikely that further features survive within the site. Further investigations: Archaeological mitigation has been completed in this area and no further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as rough grassland at the west, with an area of hardstanding at the east. A sub-rectangular mound is visible in the former area from 2008. This may be related to the development of Malton Way, to the north. Lidar data shows the mound, along with a second mound and an embankment. These do not appear to be of archaeological origin. Faint traces of further linear features possibly informal tracks, are also visible within the site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008 & 2009. Bing Maps: 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument and two events within the site and three monuments and six events within the buffer. The records within the site relate to a strip of land along the eastern side of the site and extending north and south through the buffer, that was subject to geophysical survey, trial trenching and archaeological monitoring, in association with the construction of a water pipeline. The geophysical survey indicated that the remains of an Iron Age to Roman field system may lie within this area. Within the buffer, further monuments and events included two Iron Age to Roman sites, one to the north of the site identified as cropmarks, the other through excavation at West Moor Park to the south of the site. The remains of settlement enclosures, field systems, ovens/kilns, a well and cremations were recorded at West Moor Park. This rural community was involved in livestock husbandry, cereal production, coppicing and ironworking. The origins are likely to date to the late Iron Age but activity was concentrated in the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. In the eastern buffer, geophysical survey at Huggin Lakes identified probable ditches from a field system or settlement, as well as more recent agricultural features. The site of Armthorpe Grange, a 17th-century manor house possibly on the site of a medieval grange of Roche Abbey, is recorded at the west edge of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded possible ridge and furrow in a field at the western side of the site and extending into the buffer, though Lidar suggests this has been plough levelled since being photographed in 1946. Fragmentary field ditches of probable Iron Age to Roman date were plotted in the southern part of the buffer, the majority now covered by the West Moor Park development (Events ESY270 and ESY120). None of the boundaries are recorded as extending into the site, but this may be due to land use being unsuitable for the formation of cropmarks. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the majority of the site and the northern part of the buffer as Drained Wetland. A small area at the southeast edge of the site was recorded in 1639 as having been drained and improved as part of Vermuyden's early 17th-century drainage of Hatfield Chase. The main part of the site, formerly West Moor and probably dominated by peat formation, is thought to have been drained and enclosed after 1774 as part of a Parliamentary Enclosure Award. Despite the loss of hedged boundaries, the area still retains a strong geometric pattern produced by its drainage ditches. The southwest edge of the site and the buffer are recorded as used for commercial purposes comprising large shed type distribution centres built adjacent the M18, though from aerial views, this appears to be restricted to the area south of the A630 and does not continue into the site. In the southeast part of the buffer is a motorway junction opened in 1979. The site is currently a series of smallish fields mainly in arable cultivation, with West Moor Farm at the northwest edge and a small caravan park at the southwest. The northern end of the site is bounded by the Pilkington Drain, the eastern edge by the M18, the southern edge by the A630 and the western edge by fields. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site within an area of at least 20 small, regular fields likely to have been enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1785. The fields in the southwest corner of the site were narrower and on a different alignment, labelled 'Lings'. Moor House Farm was shown in the northwest part of the site and a lane ran through the northern part of the site, south of and parallel with Pilkington's Drain and labelled Green Lane. By 1891, some of the fields had been amalgamated to create larger enclosures, though the pattern was broadly the same. The fields at the very southern edge were shown as Holme Wood Rands, and the southernmost drainage ditch was a ward boundary. The drainage ditch to the south of Moor House Farm was labelled 'Participant Drain', suggesting it related to the 17th-century drainage scheme of Vermuyden 'and Participants'. Further boundary loss had occurred by 1907 and continued gradually through the 20th century. By 1930, Moor House Farm had been renamed West Moor Farm, and in 1961, Participant Drain was labelled West Moor Drain. By 1981, the A630 and M18 roads had been built, forming the current south and east boundaries of the site. Rectangular buildings,

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 5 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

possibly barns or sheds, were shown in the southwest part of the site by 1981, with an adjacent small house added by 1986. By 2002, the house was surrounded by a small caravan park. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows fields, those to the north, west and east of regular, Parliamentary Enclosure character, with some more irregular boundaries to the south, around the edge of Holme Wood Rands. The only settlement in the area was dispersed farms. Other than the insertion of the M18 and A630 by 1981, cutting through the former field pattern, no major changes had taken place within the buffer by 1993. Survival: The site has been in arable cultivation since at least the mid-19th-century, probably enclosed in the late 18th century. Prior to this it was an area of wet common, likely to have been dominated by peat formation. The area is within a periglacial depression, and there are extensive cropmarks of Iron Age to Roman fields and enclosures on the higher ridge to the immediate south, as well as to the northeast and east, with some remains appearing to extend into the eastern edge of the site. Settlement has been recorded within some of the enclosures to the south, and it is possible that the site was exploited for wetland resources and grazing during the Roman period. It is also likely to have provided useful resources for hunting and gathering raw materials during the prehistoric and medieval periods, as well as a location for prehistoric ritual activity. The former wetland nature suggests the site may also have a high potential for the preservation of waterlogged organic materials and palaeoenvironmental data, though this could have been impacted by drainage. Iron Age to Roman field systems have been recorded at the eastern edge of the site, as well as to the north, south and east, and there is the potential for these remains to continue across the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains of Iron Age to Roman field systems and dispersed settlement could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2017 aerial photographs show the site to be an area of arable fields which retain some of the original enclosure field boundaries, though much larger now than the small fields shown in 1854. The area is used for growing crops and is regularly ploughed. The site is bounded on the south and east by hedgerows and to the north and west by farm tracks. West Moor Farm in the northwest part of the site is occupied by a number of buildings, though it is not possible to establish from the aerial view whether these include historic structures shown from 1854. The farm contains a pallet dealership. A small caravan park is located at the southwest corner of the site. Lidar data shows ditched field boundaries and/or drainage ditches, but no other earthwork features of archaeological origin within the site or buffer.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer zone, though this area is probably outside the area covered by the project. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the south-western buffer zone as agglomerated fields, which largely dates to the loss of hedged surveyed enclosure boundaries between 1967 and 1982. Significant legibility remains of the surveyed enclosure and drainage of Cantley Common as part of the Cantley and Armthorpe Enclosure Awards of 1779 and 1774 respectively. Character areas in the buffer zone comprise drained wetland, ancient woodland and a quarry. There are two records of historic landfill within the buffer zone; the Doncaster Rural District Council Tip and the Armthorpe Landfill site. These records cover the majority of the same area, to the northwest of the site and extend beyond the north-western edge of the buffer zone. The site currently comprises a single irregularly-shaped field. To the south are fields and a small area of woodland, and to the north are further fields, with former quarries to the northwest, northeast and east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is recognisable on the 1854 map much as it is today, with all of the current external boundaries extant by that time. The site was subdivided into four fields, with a drain running across the northern site boundary, labelled Dickon Dike or Diggin Drain, with an un-named drain running along the eastern site boundary, and a further drain shown along the western boundary by 1892. All of the internal field boundaries were removed between 1968 and 1993. Within the buffer zone, the area comprised fields and an area of woodland in 1854. Great Gate Wood was present immediately to the south of the site, with Little Gate Wood to the east. King’s Oak is marked in the Great Gate Wood. A farm was present to the east of the site, named Sparrington. The area to the immediate west of the site was labelled Poor’s Land, and the fields to the immediate west were named The Pieces. By 1962 a sandpit (disused) was labelled to the north of the site, with a small refuse tip. By 1967 this area is labelled as Active Workings, disused by 1992. Survival: No known development has occurred on the site since 1854 and the site is likely to have been in agricultural use since at least 1774. Modern cultivation and drainage are likely to have impacted on any sub-surface deposits through truncation and desiccation, but the potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site to be unchanged from the 1992 map, comprising a single, irregularly shaped field used for agriculture. By 2002, an active quarry is shown to the northwest of the site in an area labelled as Disused Workings on the 1992 map, and to the immediate north of the site was a car racing track, again probably a former quarry. A series of large ponds to the east and west of the site are also likely to result from quarrying. By 2015 the car track had been removed. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Two monuments are recorded in the buffer zone: the course of the Roman road from Brough to Doncaster via Templeborough runs to the immediate north of the site; and the site of Levitt Hagg Quarry 19th-century boatyard in the northern part of the buffer. 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 did not record any features within the site or the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields, produced by the loss of strip enclosure boundaries between 1948 and 1973. There is partial legibility of this underlying character in a few surviving S-curve boundaries and the 17th-century Butterbusk Farm. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Quarry, School, Terraced Housing, Allotments, Other Industry, Semi- Detached Housing and Private Housing Estate. One area of historic landfill is recorded in the southwest part of the buffer, a tip in the former Edlington Brickworks site. The site is currently a field in arable cultivation, with a narrow subdivision along the western edge. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site formed part of three fields within an area labelled ‘Beck Field’ on the 1854 OS map. Two sub-rectangular features on either side of a short path were shown in the southwest part of the site on the 1892 map. These were labelled ‘Entrance to Water Works Tunnel’. These features continued to be shown on the 1903 and 1930 OS maps. The works were identified as Doncaster Water Works at the latter date. A number of the site’s 19th-century field boundaries had been amalgamated by 1930. While the entrance to the water works tunnel continued to be marked in 1961, it was not shown on the 1966 OS map. No changes were shown within the site on the 1992 OS map. Fields, field boundaries and Sheffield Road were the only features shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map. An air shaft for the water works was shown to the west of the site in 1892, while Warmsworth Beck was labelled on the 1904 map. The LNER railway, Warmsworth Station and a large pond were shown in 1930, with housing in 1956. A spoilheap, a track and allotments were shown within the buffer on the 1966 OS map, with further housing and an industrial estate shown in 1980. A large spoilheap had been created to the south of the site by 1987. A works access road ran along the north side of the tip at that date; its course was subsequently upgraded as Sheffield Halt. Survival: The site has been fields since at least 1854. Apart from the entrance to a former tunnel in the southwest part of the site, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, but ridge and furrow earthworks and cropmarks were recorded within the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a Golf Course, though the site is across the road from the course and does not form part of it. The area is described as having partial legibility of former surveyed enclosure dating to 1825. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private), another Golf Course, Private Housing Estate and Villas/Detached Housing. The site is currently a triangular field between Kirton Lane and a railway line, used as rough grassland. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map, bounded to the south by a railway line. By 1892, Kirton Lane had been constructed along the north side of the site, leaving it as an isolated triangular field. The layout has remained unchanged to the present day. Within the buffer, the South Yorkshire Railway had been constructed immediately to the south of the site by 1854. The majority of the buffer was fields at that date, with various large field drains, Balne Croft Road and Sea Dike Band Road also marked. Kirton Lane had been constructed by 1892, with housing between 1950 and 1956. Further housing had been built by 2002. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets is considered to be moderate. The northern and southern edges of the site may have been disturbed during the construction of the railway and road. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as rough grassland bounded to the north by Kirton Lane and to the south by a railway line. A linear ditch, possibly a former drainage ditch, runs through the field parallel with Kirton Lane. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2008, 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two findspots within the northeast part of the site: Palaeolithic, Bronze Age and early post- medieval artefacts found on the field surface. Two events are recorded within the site. Fieldwalking and trial trenching within an area covering part of the western side of the site and continuing into the buffer recovered Roman remains and a post-medieval brick production site remains in the northern area (outside the site). Flint artefacts and Roman pottery were also recovered during the fieldwalking. Within the site itself, only a small quantity of medieval to post-medieval pottery, glass and clay tobacco pipe were recovered in the fieldwalking, one possible field boundary was recorded in the geophysical survey and a single gully probably associated with modern drainage was identified in the trial trenching. To the south of the site, and extending into a small area of the site south of Fiftyeights Road, a geophysical survey indicated the probable remains of ridge and furrow, field boundaries and drains. Within the buffer, a further three findspots, one monument and two events are recorded. The findspots relate to Roman and medieval pottery found to the west of the site in the 1950s, possibly in association with sand and gravel quarrying, whilst the monument relates to a cropmark enclosure of possible Iron Age to Roman date, to the north of the site. The events comprised trial trenching at Finningley Quarry in 2000, which recovered only late post-medieval and modern field boundaries and drainage, and a watching brief at Croft Road where a pit containing Roman pottery was found, suggesting occupation in the vicinity. 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, though the site is probably outside the area covered by this project, and a cropmark enclosure is recorded to the north on the SMR. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site to the north of Fiftyeights Road as Surveyed Enclosure, medium to large regular fields with straight boundaries created through a Parliamentary Enclosure award dated to 1778. Prior to this the land formed the commons of Auckley, Blaxton and Finningley. The northwest part of the site is recorded as a disused gravel extraction pit. The area of the site to the south of Fiftyeights Road is in Nottinghamshire and so is not covered by the HEC. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Agglomerated Fields, Plantation and Distribution Centre. The site currently comprises a series of arable fields, with the exception of the western end, which is shown as a sand and gravel quarry and ponds on the site of former quarrying. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: Parts of the site had been enclosed into fields by the time of Joseph Arlebout’s 1639 plan of Hadfield Chase. Further subdivision had occurred by 1886. The site comprised fields at that date, with Fiftyeights Road running through them on an northeast-southwest alignment. With the exception of the amalgamation of a number of field boundaries, no changes were shown within the site on the 1948 OS map. Two large areas of mineral extraction were shown at the northwest edge of the site on the 1956 map, with a works, a mineral railway and two ponds depicted in this area in 1962. These remained extant in 1968 but were disused by 1985. No substantive changes were shown in the rest of the site at that date. Many of the land drains that had bounded the fields in 1886 remained largely extant on the 1985 map. A large, flooded gravel pit was shown at the western end of the site on the 1992 OS map, with two buildings and ‘conveyors’ also shown in this area at that date. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1689 Arlebout plan, including fields, Clay Dike and Fiftyeights Road. Additional field drains were shown on the 1841 OS map, while the Great Northern & Great Eastern Joint Railway had been constructed by 1886. Two groups of buildings at Mission Deeps, two disused gravel pits, a disused sand pit, Moize Plantation, Highwater Drain, Deeps Drain, Croft Road, Low Deeps Lane, Brick Kiln Wood and Bank End Crossing were also shown within the buffer zone on the 1886 OS map. Little change was shown within the buffer until the 1961 OS map, which showed the A6164. Mission Deeps continued to be shown

at that date, but had gone by 1968. Mission Springs Farm and a sewage works were marked on the 1992 map. Survival: With the exception of the western end, the site has been fields since at least 1639. Many of the existing field boundaries were extant in 1886. Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for buried archaeological remains in the main part of the site is considered to be moderate. The western part of the site has been subject to mineral extraction, and in these areas the archaeological potential is negligible. Part of the site to the north of Fiftyeights Road has previously been subject to archaeological evaluation. Roman remains were found to the north of the site during this evaluation, and it is possible that these may continue into the site. Further investigations: With the exception of the areas that have been subjected to mineral extraction and archaeological evaluation, further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown in the eastern part of the site. Remains associated with Roman settlement and agricultural activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. The significance in areas already subject to mineral extraction is Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs show the majority of the site as fields in arable cultivation. The western part of the site includes a sand and gravel extraction site to the north. Between 2002 and 2005, the southwest part of the site was shown as flooded extraction pits and part of an arable field, which had itself become a quarry by 2007. Lidar data shows the areas of quarrying at the western end of the site, and drainage ditches within the remainder of the site. No clear archaeological features are visible.

Site assessment Known assets/character: 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 does not record any features within the site. Fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Romano-British field boundaries and post-medieval ridge and furrow exist at the northern end of the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the north-western end of the buffer zone as drained wetland with ditched boundaries, probably enclosed around 1818. The area retains fragmentary legibility of enclosed land. Additional character types within the buffer zone include various housing types, agglomerated fields and allotments. The site is an area of scrubland located at the north-western end of Askern. A modern housing estate lies to the south, with fields to the north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1854 the site was part of field, which was within a group of fields called Askern Common. The eastern boundary of the site was extant at this time. By 1893 the northern and western field boundaries had been created with the construction of additional field boundaries within Askern Common. The site remained much the same until 1986, when the southern site boundary was created following the construction of King’s Terrace and Eastfield Drive to the immediate south of the site. Within the buffer zone, the area surrounding the site was mostly strip fields in 1854, with Askern Common Road to the south of the site, and Askern Common Drain to the north. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway was extant to the west of the site. By 1893 a small amount of development had occurred to the south of the site, along Askern Common Road, with various buildings including a chapel and a school. By 1932, new roads and houses had been created off the north side of Askern Common road, to the southeast of the site. This housing estate had spread further west by 1961. By 1986 houses had been built to the immediate south of the site with the creation of Eastfield Drive. The area to the north of the site remained largely undeveloped on the 1992 map. Survival: The site was enclosed around 1818 and has remained undeveloped since that time. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photography shows that in 2002 the site was unchanged from the 1992 map, comprising scrubland with moderate tree cover. By 2008 the site had largely been cleared of trees, and now remains predominantly scrubland. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Three findspots are recorded within the buffer zone, comprising Roman pottery sherds, a Roman coin and a beehive quern all recovered from gardens off Broadway. There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site and buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records cropmarks of a trackway of probable Iron Age to Roman date within the eastern side of the site. Further remains of extensive Iron Age to Roman field systems and trackways are recorded within the buffer zone to the immediate west and north of the site. The lack of continuation of the western cropmarks into the site suggests either that the fields were not in arable use at the time the photographs were taken and hence no cropmarks were visible, or that land-use in this area has severely truncated the sub-surface remains. The former explanation may be more likely. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and most of the buffer as surveyed enclosure from the former medieval Hatfield deer park. Despite the amalgamation of fields in the late 20th century, this area still retains a character of semi-regular straight sided enclosure associated with enclosure post-dating the disparkment of the deer park in the early 18th century. The eastern part of the buffer is dominated by 1930s social housing at Broadway, as well as a later 20th-century private housing estate and greenspace. The site is currently two fields, in arable cultivation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of seven fields. By 1892 the fields had been amalgamated into five, surrounding an enclosure containing Middle Parks Farm. The boundary of the farm enclosure had been removed by 1962, but reinstated by 1992, by which date the site contained four fields, the western fields having been amalgamated. Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed the pattern of semi-regular enclosure around the site, part of an area known as 'The Parks', with a small wood called Whin Covert to the north. This had been renamed Parks Wood in 1892. The fields comprising the site surrounded a smaller field containing a structure labelled 'pump shed' in 1853, shown as probably a farm in 1892 and labelled Middle Parks Farm in 1930. The 1930 map showed housing under construction at Broadway in the eastern part of the buffer, and a sand pit at the southern edge. The pit had been expanded by 1948, and was shown as largely wooded by 1968 and had been made into a playing field by 1992. Survival: The site has been under cultivation since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. Cropmarks of extensive Iron Age to Roman field systems and trackways have been recorded within the buffer and one trackway within the site, suggesting there is a high potential for the continuation of these features into the site. Roman artefacts have also been found to the east in gardens off the Broadway estate, indicating that there is likely to have been Roman settlement in the area. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems and activity could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance, depending on their nature, condition and extent of survival.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as three arable fields surrounding a farm house in its own enclosure. The fields are enclosed by hedge and modern fence boundaries. Veteran trees are preserved along the hedgerows. Subtle cropmarks relating to removed field boundaries and modern trackway are visible on the 2002 and 2009 Google Earth coverage, and the probable Iron Age/Roman trackway recorded by the Magnesian Limestone aerial mapping project is faintly visible in 2009, with a possible continuation into the western field. The Lidar coverage shows only the existing field boundaries, no earlier boundaries or features are visible as earthworks within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, the possible former location of a heavy anti-aircraft gun battery, although its exact location is unknown. Two further monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer zone. Running along the southern site boundary is the suggested route of a Roman road, which enters South Yorkshire in the southwest from Brough (Derby), travelling northeast towards the Roman fort at Templeborough and then towards Doncaster. To the southwest of the site is a road that is thought to date to the medieval period, and it had been suggested that the road could be a remnant of Ryknield Street. The two events within the buffer zone relate to geophysical survey and associated trial trenching at Conisbrough Cemetery, at the very eastern extreme of the buffer. During the trial trenching, a double ditch, probably representing a medieval deer park boundary was recorded, along with stone-packed postholes and stone-packed foundations, although these could not be dated. 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 does not record any features within the site or the buffer zone. The HEC records the present character of the site and part of the southern buffer zone as agglomerated fields. The eastern boundary of the polygon, most of which extends outside of the buffer zone, probably formed the outer boundary of the medieval deer park. The 1st edition OS map shows irregularly shaped fields indicative of piecemeal enclosure. The boundaries were removed in the latter part of the 20th century to form the large prairie fields. Legibility is partial as parts of hedgerows and occasional trees stand in the fields, remnants of former boundaries. Crop marks have also been noted within some of the fields. Within the buffer zone, to the east is a planned estate (social housing), which retains no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure countryside. To the west of the buffer zone are agglomerated fields, characterised by large units of land, produced by the amalgamation through boundary loss during the mid-twentieth century. There is no legibility of earlier landscape types. The north of the buffer are twentieth century schools, again with no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure countryside. The site currently comprises a single triangular plot of arable land. The site is bounded by Old Road to the west, Sheffield Road to the south and a fence to the east, separating the site from a modern housing estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 map, the site is shown as part of four fields, and Sheffield Road and Old Road are extant. By 1892, the small western site boundary between Sheffield Road and Old Road had been created, and a field boundary had been removed to create three fields. By 1958 a further field boundary had been removed. The eastern site boundary had been established by 1974, with the construction of the housing estate to the east of the site. The site remains unchanged on the 1994 map. Within the buffer zone, the area was predominantly fields in 1854. Just outside the south-western corner of the site was a structure named Hill Top. Sandstone quarries, one disused, were shown to the north and west of the site. Two structures were located just outside the south-eastern corner of the site, fronting onto Sheffield Road. By 1892, the area around Hill Top had become further developed, with an inn and several other buildings, and the quarry to the west of the site was no longer shown. Further housing had been built along Sheffield Road, and two new roads had been laid out to the south, Sharman’s Lane and Park Lane. Ellershaw Lane was shown to the north. By 1902, a cemetery had been built between Sheffield Road and Sharman’s Lane, which had been re- named Spring Bank Road. Several allotment gardens were shown between Sheffield Road and Ellershaw Lane in 1930, with new roads and houses under construction to the northeast of the site by 1948, extended by 1956. By 1958, a new housing estate had been constructed over the site of Ellershaw Lane and the allotments gardens between it and Sheffield Road. By 1967, a school and a youth welfare centre were shown to the northwest of the

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

site, with a further school shown to the immediate north in 1981. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be moderate. The location of the anti-aircraft battery recorded within the site is uncertain. The site is adjacent to the postulated route of a Roman road. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the anti-aircraft battery would be of local significance, whilst remains associated with the Roman and medieval roads could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their nature and condition.

Site assessment Known assets/character: 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 the site of a 20th-century worker’s hostel within the site. Fragmentary traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow exist within the buffer zone to the immediate southeast of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as barracks, being the site of a former hostel for national service personnel detailed to serve in coal mines during World War II (so called 'Bevin Boys'). Prior to the construction of the barracks, the site was drained wetland, although legibility of this is invisible. Character types within the buffer zone include various housing types, drained wetland and agglomerated fields. The site is currently a depot, works and rough grassland, mostly surrounded by modern housing, with fields to the north of Moss Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map depicts the site within an area of narrow rectangular fields in 1854, which formed part of Askern Common. Askern Common Road was already established to the north of the site at this time, forming the northern site boundary. The site remained unchanged until 1948, by which time a number of buildings had been constructed within the site boundary. These are not labelled on the OS maps but are thought to be barracks for national service personnel serving in coal mines during World War II. On the 1960 and 1967 maps the site is labelled as Depot, and by 1975 the buildings are labelled as Askern Industrial Estate, although the layout of buildings remained unchanged. By 1986 the majority of the original buildings still existed on the site, although some had been removed and some small new buildings added. In 1854 the majority of the area surrounding the site was mainly strip fields, with Askern Common Road to the immediate north of the site and Rushy Moor Lane to the west. Askern Corn Mill was present immediately to the east of the site boundary, although by 1893 this was called Mill House. By 1932 significant development had occurred to the west of the site, along Moss Road (formally Askern Common Road) and a sewage works had been established to the north of the site. By 1972 a housing estate had been created to the immediate south and east of the site, with a caravan park also to the east. By 1986 the area to the north of the site had remained largely undeveloped. Survival: The site was extensively developed in the mid-20th century, with the creation of barracks for national service personnel associated with mine working in the World War II. It is possible that several of the original barrack buildings remain on the site, particularly two buildings on the eastern side of the site and the northwest side, but many of the current buildings are modern lightweight sheds built in the 1970s and 1980s. The remains of footings and possibly floor surfaces of the original barrack blocks may survive as sub-surface features or within areas of hardstanding. The extent of sub-surface disturbance caused by the construction of the barracks is currently unclear, therefore the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains pre-dating the mid- 20th century is considered to be low to moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Any remaining standing buildings or buried remains associated with the World War II barracks are likely to be

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

considered of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 demonstrate that much of the site had been cleared by that time, although some of the original barracks buildings were still present; by 2008 however, the largest remaining intact building of the original barracks had been demolished, though its footprint is visible within the site. By 2015 there are two buildings at the eastern end of the site and one at the western end of the site which may be original to the barracks, but this is not certain. The remaining buildings on the site were added in the 1970s and 1980s. The footings of the former barrack block in the centre of the site are currently used for storage and parking. The eastern part of the site, around two probable original barracks buildings, is covered with rough grass. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Allocation Reference: 042 Area (Ha): 3.04 Allocation Type: Housing NGR (centre): SE 5302 1019 Site Name: Land to rear of Skellow Hall Settlement: Carcroft Skellow

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Two monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer zone. The monuments were a motte and bailey castle and medieval market cross at Skellow, whilst the events comprised small-scale watching briefs which did not identify in situ archaeological deposits. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Two Scheduled Monuments and four listed buildings are located within the buffer zone. The Scheduled Monuments comprise the motte and bailey castle and market cross also recorded on the SMR, whilst the listed buildings include the cross base, a farmhouse and two barns, all designated grade II. All these features are located to the north of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records cropmarks relating to Iron Age to Romano-British land divisions within the buffer zone to the south. Post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded as earthworks within the site and the buffer zone to the west. The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the majority of the site as the historic core of Skellow, consisting of residential vernacular cottages. Skellow was mentioned in the Domesday, as such the land plots, concentrated around Skellow Hall, and nearby farms have a probable medieval time depth. The road plan may represent the trace of the bailey from the Scheduled motte in the hall grounds. Character zones within the buffer include an area of enclosed drained wetland to the south, east and west of the site. The parcel is recognised as drained wetlands with large surveyed drainage ditches leading south to the embanked Skell, established in the 18th century. The previous land use was a unenclosed wetland common. To the northeast character comprises a parcel of residential semi-detached housing with long plots to the rear but a high density of construction. Prior to its construction in the early 20th century the parcel formed part of the enclosed drained wetland. The site is currently rough grassland. The boundaries of the site to the west, south and east are marked by dense tree coverage. To the north it is marked by hedged garden boundaries. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851-54 OS map identifies the site in its current form, as part of a system of fields extending south, away from the settlement of Skellow. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows settlement at Skellow concentrated around the main crossroads to the north of the site. Both the medieval motte and bailey and Skellow Old Hall were shown to the north of the site. By 1932 residential housing had developed to the east of Skellow, along with Buttercroft Main Colliery. By 1964-71 the river Skell, flowing to the west and south of the site had been embanked. Further residential housing had developed by 1982 to the northwest of the site within the buffer zone, located north and west of the motte. Survival: The site has been drained and part of fields since at least the mid-18th century. This may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation, though the presence of ridge and furrow earthworks of likely post-medieval date suggest that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology of earlier date is high. Iron Age to Roman field boundaries have been recorded in the buffer zone and associated remains are likely to extend into the site. Scheduled medieval remains are also located within the buffer, and the site is within the likely area of the medieval core of Skellow. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance: The ridge and furrow earthworks within the site are considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Remains associated with Iron Age to medieval activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the site as rough grassland bordered by dense wooded hedgerows. Ridge and furrow is clearly shown orientated northeast-southwest. The site is utilised by the public, as evidenced by a worn footpath through the site. There is no Lidar coverage available for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2003, 2008 & 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site itself. A watching brief is recorded partially within the buffer zone, to the south of the site, although no archaeological features or finds were recorded within the buffer zone; the only recorded feature was a stone-lined drain crossing an 18th century track, to the east of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings recorded within the site. Five grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone, all of which are located to the north of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project plotted post- medieval ridge and furrow earthworks across the site, identified on a photograph from 1967. The field has been used for cultivation since this date, and it is currently unclear if these features survive as earthworks. Medieval earthworks are recorded within the buffer zone, to the northwest of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the south-western area of the buffer zone as agglomerated fields, comprising an area of large wavy edged fields between two medieval villages that, on OS maps from 1851 to the 1930s, were enclosed by sinuous boundaries fossilising the earlier strip field pattern. While some sinuous boundaries survive the pattern is all but lost, although lanes are likely to mark the ancient boundaries of older open fields. Further character types within the buffer zone include more agglomerated fields, private parkland and various housing types. The site occupies the majority of a single field, located at the southern end of Campsall, on the eastern side of Sutton Road. The recent site use is varied between arable and pasture. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown on the 1854 map as part of a single field, with most of the current site boundaries extant, formed by Sutton Road to the west and a footpath and field boundary to the east. The current northern site boundary was mostly present, although was slightly irregular. This had been straightened by 1960 into its current form. By 1893 the southern site boundary had been established, with the construction of a school at the southern end of the field. No apparent change had occurred on the site by the 1994 map. Within the buffer zone, the area surrounding the site was well-developed to the north with the settlement of Campsall. To the immediate northwest of the site was a building, probably a farm. To the east were two plantations, named Little Moor and Beevers, and at the extreme edge of the buffer zone was Campsall Park, with a large lake. To the west of the site was an area labelled cottage gardens. By 1893 a school had been built to the immediate south of the site, and the plantations to the east had merged into one, named Beevers Plantation, and had extended to the north. By 1948 development had started to the west of the site, off Sutton Road, which by 1966 had spread further west along Bone Lane and had taken the place of the cottage gardens. By 1960 the structure to the immediate northwest of the site was labelled Poplar Farm. By 1975 Beevers Planation, to the east of the site, had been cleared. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use by 1854, which may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. It is uncertain whether the post-medieval ridge and furrow recorded as earthworks within the site in 1967 still survive, or have been levelled by ploughing. Sub-surface remains of these features are likely to survive. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Unknown. The recorded post-medieval ridge and furrow within is site is considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 show little change on the site from the 1994 map, with crops shown until 2008. Google Street View images from 2011 show the site as rough pasture, although 2015 aerial photographs appear to show the site as under crop again. No earthwork ridge and furrow is identifiable from the aerial photographs or Street View. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, extending throughout the buffer. This is an area that formed the core of Doncaster’s Roman pottery production, with pottery kilns frequently found, including in Aukley. One further monument, one findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer. These comprise the findspot of a Neolithic or Bronze Age axe or adze to the west of the site, and a pit containing late Neolithic to early Bronze Age pottery and flint, found during an evaluation at Main Street in the northern part of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed structure is recorded within the northern part of the buffer; a mounting block adjacent to the Eagle and Child public house. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded 20th- century sand and gravel extraction sites within the buffer to the west and south of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as wetland which was drained from c.1630 onwards and enclosed prior to 1778. Further character zones within the buffer include surveyed Parliamentary/Private enclosure, a sand and gravel extraction site, and farm and housing complexes. The most recent imagery of the site (2015) shows it as a field under arable cultivation, bounded to the south by Bell Butts Lane and to the northeast by modern housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows that the site and surrounding area have changed very little over the last 160 years with farm buildings to the east and farmland to the west of the site. The site itself retains the same field boundaries from this date. The first appearance of the sand and gravel extraction site to the west was on the 1962 OS map, though the extensive pits were shown as disused by this date, and the western pits appeared to have been infilled and reinstated by 1975. On the 1985 OS map, rectangular ponds were recorded within the mineral extraction area to the south of the site. The housing in the field directly north of the site was built between 1993 and 2002. Survival: Cartographic and photographic sources do not show any development within the site. It is therefore considered that the potential for unrecorded buried archaeology to survive is moderate to high. The site lies within an area of known Roman activity, including the production of pottery, and Neolithic to Bronze Age finds have also been recovered within the buffer. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman activity and pottery production could be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their nature, condition and extent. Note: Site 049 is almost identical to Site 330, and within the southern extent of Site 174.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 to 2015 aerial photographs show that the site as a field in predominantly arable use, with hedged boundaries. No Lidar data is currently available for the site.
