Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. There are five findspots within the buffer zone, all located to the northwest of the site. These comprise a Roman brooch, as well as Roman and medieval pottery sherds. Three events are recorded in the buffer zone, all located to the north of the site. A geophysical survey and subsequent evaluation recorded a ditch of unknown date and some possible remnant furrows, and a second geophysical survey identified possible pits and a curvilinear ditch. 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 post- medieval ridge and furrow within the western end of the site, though recent Lidar suggests that this does not survive as earthworks. At the southern edge of the buffer zone, the remains of a 20th-century sand and gravel extraction site are recorded. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as industrial to modern assarted land, containing irregularly shaped fields which border the parish boundary and an area of ancient replanted woodland. It is probable that the fields were assarted from the woodland. The enclosure award map of 1778 shows a series of fields, some of which are marked 'new closes' suggesting assartment may have happened in the 18th century. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Within the buffer zone, to the north is a small area of woodland and an area of enclosed land, which was enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1778 from common land. The south and west of the buffer zone is largely characterised by woodland, with the Robin Hood airport within the eastern part of the buffer zone. The site currently comprises an irregularly-shaped plot of land, divided into three distinct fields, all of which appear to be in arable use. An access road to Robin Hood airport runs along the northern site boundary, with the remaining boundaries comprising hedges. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 map, the site was part of four fields with hedged boundaries. A roughly aligned north-south footpath was located in the northern field. By 1922 a drain was marked between the north and south fields. By 1983 one of the southern internal field boundaries had been removed. The site remained unchanged on the 1993 map. Within the buffer zone, the area mostly comprised fields in 1854. Hurst Road was extant to the west of the site, and small areas of woodland were present to the south of the site, named Turberg Tree Wood and Hurst Wood. Hurst House is located just to the south of Hurst Wood, although by 1946 this had been demolished. To the immediate west of the site was an area marked ‘Ruins’, although it is unclear what this corresponds to. To the north is an area marked Poor’s Land. A small area in the south-western end of the buffer lay within Finningley Park, which was also wooded. By 1892 the ruins were no longer marked on the map. By 1892 Savage Wood had extended to the east into the western end of the buffer zone. Finningley Airfield was first shown on the 1955 map the east side of the buffer. By 1961, Poplar’s Farm had been built to the northwest of the site, several houses had been built along Hurst Lane and several drains had been inserted to the west of the site. At this time also, at the southern end of the buffer zone, sand and gravel pits and a refuse tip were marked to the south of Hurst Wood. By 1983, the airport to the east of the site had expanded, with some additional buildings located within the buffer zone. Survival: There has been little recorded below-ground disturbance within the site; as such, the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets within the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Google Earth images from 2002-2005 show the site have to changed little from the 1993 OS map. By 2007, the airport access road which leads to Robin Hood airport was under construction, and appears complete by 2008. No change is evident on the site since then. The fields are all in use as arable land. Lidar data is available for the majority of the site. Some linear features can be observed aligned roughly northwest to southeast across both fields, probably relating to recent agricultural activity. The post-medieval ridge and furrow recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project from a 1948 photograph appears to have been plough levelled and is not visible on the Lidar data.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site, trial trenching evaluation for the First Point development. This identified a ring ditch and D-shaped enclosure of Roman date, both located to the east of the site, outside the buffer zone. The excavation of the D-shaped enclosure containing a probable round house is recorded as an event within the buffer. No features of archaeological interest were revealed within the site itself. 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 did not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded at the south side of the buffer zone on a photograph dated to 1948, though the majority of this area has since been developed. The most recent imagery (2009) shows the site as an area of cleared, vacant land. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a rectangular field. The southern boundary was formed by a drainage ditch in a sinuous route, possibly a former stream. It was still shown as a field in 1994. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed mainly fields, regular surveyed enclosure to the north and more irregular fields to the south of the drain forming the southern boundary of the site, in an area called Wood Field. The 1903 map showed a building in a field to the northwest. By 1930 a sewage works established to the west by 1892 had extended into the buffer zone, with a sports ground depicted to the northwest in 1939. By 1956, housing was under development to the south of the site, north of Weston Road. The 1961 map showed a large works building to the north of the site, which had expanded by 1984. A small works building was shown in the east of the site by 1961, with a railway line leading southeast from the building, to Grass Road, outside the buffer. The function of the works is uncertain, but a travelling crane is shown on the recent OS map, presumably along the railway line. Survival: Archaeological evaluation has been undertaken across the site. The Roman settlement and agricultural features recorded were located outside the site to the southeast, with no features of archaeological interest identified within the site. Further investigations: The results of the trial trench evaluation suggest that 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 aerial photograph shows the site as part of a field, as it had been shown on the 1992 OS map. The vegetation was rough grass. By 2008, the area of the site had been stripped of vegetation, and formed part of a wider stripped area extending into the buffer to the southeast. A road had been constructed through the area to the east up to the northeast edge of the site. A mound of earth or hardcore was shown in the northeast corner of the site. The 2015 image is obscured by clouds, but some materials appear to be stored in the southwest corner of the site. Lidar data shows a drain along the western side of the site, and the sinuous drain/stream along the

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site, which extends into the eastern end of the buffer. This relates to a watching brief at the former Brodsworth Colliery, during which a number of cropmarks of unknown date were observed along with 20th century deposits. Within the buffer, ten further events and three monuments are recorded. To the east of the site, immediately outside the site boundary, is the Scheduled Monument of the Roman Ridge Roman road, a major military route from Lincoln to York. To the north of the site, a rectilinear enclosure, roundhouse and assemblage of residual prehistoric flints were recorded during excavation. At the northwest edge of the buffer zone, an Iron Age to Romano-British trapezoidal enclosure was excavated in 2006-7, which provided evidence for internal subdivision, a roundhouse and several pits. The events within the buffer are all located at the northern end and relate to geophysical survey, watching briefs and excavations associated with the Iron Age to Roman agricultural landscape and dispersed settlement. They recorded linear boundaries with rectilinear enclosures, possibly forming a 'ladder settlement' arrangement, with pottery provisionally dated to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, an area of surviving agger/bank relating to the Roman Ridge road mentioned above. This is aligned roughly northwest to southeast and located at the very eastern extremity of the buffer. There are no listed buildings within the site or the buffer. The Scheduled Monument is unlikely to be impacted by development at the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries within the western half of the site, extending into the buffer zone to the west and north. Within the west of the buffer, traces of levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow are recorded. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site and the northern area of the buffer as the Redhouse Interchange, a commercial development of sheds with no legibility of the former enclosed fields. Within the south and east of the buffer, the area is characterised as the reclaimed coal mine of Brodsworth Colliery, which has been landscaped and is now regenerating as meadows and woodlands with only partial legibility of former extractive site. To the immediate west of the site, the area is characterised as a late 20th-century nursery with large glasshouses, retaining fragmentary legibility of a probable Enclosure period farmstead. The site currently comprises a large arable field with an electricity substation in the southeast corner. Long Lands Lane forms the northern site boundary. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1851 OS map, the site was shown as a part of at least four fields. By 1892, some of the field boundaries had been removed, and the site was part of two fields. By 1930, a small building was shown at the approximate centre of the site. This may be associated with the Brodsworth Main Colliery, but its function is unclear. By 1961 the remaining north-south field boundary had been removed, and the site was part of a single plot of land, as it remains today. By 1965 the electricity substation had been constructed in the southeast corner of the site, with a small building to the southwest of the site. By 1966, both this and the small building in the centre of the site had been removed. No changes on the site were shown on the 1982 map. Within the buffer, in 1851 the majority of the area comprised fields. A small patch of woodland was present to the east of the site, named Terry Holt, and a small limestone quarry was shown to the northeast of the site, on the northern side of Long Lands Lane. An east-west aligned track, marked Underhills Lane, was present to the south of the site, turning into a footpath at the eastern end of the site and joining the Roman road. There was little change in the buffer zone until 1930, by which time Brodsworth Main Colliery had been constructed to the south of the site, and a small group of buildings named Markham Grange had been constructed to the west of the site. On current OS mapping, Markham Grange has extended considerably to the west and is marked as a

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

nursery. Brodsworth Colliery closed in 1990 and has since been reclaimed. Survival: The SMR records that this site has previously been subject to an archaeological watching brief. This is likely to have completed any archaeological mitigation required for the site. Further investigations: The watching brief previously undertaken within the site is likely to have completed the mitigation requirements, and no further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Mitigation has already been undertaken at this site and it is likely that the residual significance of archaeological remains is negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as a single plot of arable land, with part of an electricity substation in the south-eastern corner, separated by trees.

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 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. Earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded in 1946 in an area at the southwest edge of the buffer zone, currently a playing field. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of a large area of drained wetland retaining many historic field boundaries that probably resulted from the extensive drainage programme of the 17th century. Further character zones within the buffer include a sewage works, first shown in 1892, sports grounds and playing fields, an area of heavy metal trades and other works which began to industrialise in the later 19th century, terraced and planned social housing, allotment gardens, regenerated scrubland, a traveller community site and suburban commercial core. The most recent imagery (2009) shows the site as an area of rough grass and scrub to the south of works buildings. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. The site was shown as part of Balby Carr on the 1841 OS map. Cross Bank lane marked the northwest site boundary at that date, while land drains ran along the eastern and southern boundaries. The site was shown as two fields by 1854, and one larger field by 1892. This remained unchanged in 1961, when a drain was shown marking the southern boundary of the site, and one small building was shown at the southwest corner. By 1971, the works to the north had extended and the site was shown as land to the immediate south of a factory, with a new T-shaped drainage system within the site. The 1980 map showed the western half of the site as a separate enclosure. This layout was largely unchanged by 1994. Within the buffer zone, several buildings were marked along roads to the north and west of the site in 1841, with the remaining area shown as fields. By 1892, the fields to the north and east of the site had become gardens for houses on the Cross Bank frontage, and a small building to the southeast was shown as Balby Sewage Works. Terraced housing had been built along the west side of Cross Bank by 1903, extending southwards by 1930, when the Bank had been renamed ‘Garden Terrace’. Allotments were shown to the west of the site at that date. By 1939, a rope works had been constructed in the buffer zone to the north of the site, with a bowling green and a tennis court shown adjacent to the works. By 1961, the works had been extended, with buildings shown in the former garden plot to the immediate north of the site, replaced by a larger factory building by 1977. The former gardens to the east of the site had become a refuse tip by that date. Survival: Historic mapping suggests that the site has had relatively little disturbance since the mid-19th century. Modern drainage ditches were cut through the site in the later 20th century, but otherwise the levels of sub-surface disturbance are likely to be low. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is therefore moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as an area of rough grass and scrub to the south of a factory building. The late 20th-century drainage ditches are visible within the site, with the earlier drain along the southern boundary possibly having been infilled or silted up. The vegetation at the western side of the site appears thin, and pale material shows through, suggesting it formerly had a hardcore surface within this area, perhaps a storage or parking area associated with the works. Lidar data shows the drainage ditches within the site, and a linear bank at the eastern side of the site, marked by a hedge on the aerial photographs.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not hold any records for the site itself. There is one event recorded at the north-western end of the buffer zone, related to a geophysical survey and subsequent evaluation. No anomalies of likely archaeological origin were observed from the geophysical survey. Two trial trenches were excavated to the north of the geophysical survey area which revealed a ditch, a small pit and two animal burials. 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. Post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded at the north-western end of the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern area of the buffer zone as industrial, comprising a modern enterprise park. The dominant building type is large steel framed sheds. There is no legibility of the former piecemeal enclosure of possible open fields. The majority of the remainder of the buffer zone is made up of modern housing, retail and industry. A small area of plantation is located at the northern end of the buffer zone. The site is currently a single irregularly-shaped plot of land, which appears to be wasteland. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1854, the site was part of a large field, named Sandall Field. A railway line ran along the northwest edge of the site, with Doncaster Road forming the eastern boundary. There were no evident changes on the site until 1992, by which time the current site boundaries had been formed with the creation of a car park to the north, and industrial buildings to the south and west. Within the buffer zone, the area mostly comprised fields in 1854. Moor Lane, Sandall Lane and Doncaster Road are all extant at this time, as was the railway line along the western site boundary. A rectory was located just to the northeast of the site and Park Plantation to the north. By 1930, Doncaster Glass Works had been established within the western end of the buffer, and a housing estate had been constructed to the east. This housing estate was spreading to the south by 1956, although was still under construction at this time. By 1974 much of the glassworks had become an engineering works, and by 1980 the buildings were labelled merely ‘Works’, later renamed as the Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate. By 1982, two small buildings, labelled ‘Works’, were present to the immediate south of the site, and by 1983 a number of small works buildings had been constructed to the west of the site, part of the Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate. The housing estate to the east of the site was also well established by this time. By 1992 a small open-air car park was located to the immediate north of the site. Survival: Due to the lack of recorded deep-ground disturbance on the site, the potential for survival of any unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Two events are recorded in the buffer zone: fieldwalking, geophysical survey and a desk-based assessment relating to the Hatfield Regeneration Link Road and a watching brief at Bootham Lane. 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 recorded an undated ditch in the western part of the site. Similar features, including a probable continuation of the ditch, are recorded in the west and north-west parts of the buffer zone. Levelled ridge and furrow is also recorded within the buffer. An area of historic landfill is present in the north-east part of the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private). The historic character of this area rests principally on the surviving elements of its much eroded boundary pattern, most of which pre-dated the 1825 enclosure award. Place-name evidence suggests a earlier use as common land. Only around 20% of the historic hedgerow pattern survives although the survival level is higher along the historic road pattern. Further character zones within the buffer are recorded as Spoilheap; Planned Estate (Social Housing); Pre-fabs; Private Housing Estate; and Other Industry. The site is currently occupied by a breakers’ yard and some light industrial units. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Fishlake, Stainforth and Hatfield enclosure map. No changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced between 1853 and 1906. Some field boundaries had been removed by 1932. No further changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced up to 1984. By 2002, a breaker yard and light industrial units were present within the site. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including fields, an area named ‘Calls’, Parks Drain, Golden Hills, Dunscroft Wood, Hills Road, Carr Lane and Broad Lane Drain. Housing had been built in the south-west part of the buffer by 1932, while a sewage pumping station was shown at the east. Private housing, a bus depot and a slurry pond were shown in the buffer on the 1962 OS map, with further housing, Greenacre Farm and an engineering works shown in 1972. A depot and two tips were shown in the eastern part of the buffer in 1984. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the early 19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The late 20th-century Eco Way and Volks Heaven developments are unlikely to have involved deep ground disturbance and, given the cropmark features in the western part of the site, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate to high. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

SMR Record/event Reference Name Details Site? Buffer? ID ESY123 Hatfield A desk-based assessment identified a good potential for Y Regeneration Link previously unrecorded prehistoric and Romano-British to be Road sealed by the alluvium in this area. Field walking was Archaeological undertaken in 2004, with small quantities of probably Work unworked flint found in two of the six fields walked. A borehole survey undertaken in 2004 did not identify any deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential. The geological mapping of the area as alluvium over Sherwood Sandstone appears to be at odds with the nature of the sequences identified during this survey. Geophysical survey of eight fields identified archaeological potential in four, including ditches and pit-like anomalies, and a probable rectilinear enclosure containing a circular feature. ESY515 Archaeological In September 2006 a watching brief was conducted at Y Watching Brief at Bootham Lane. No sub-surface archaeological deposits or Bootham Lane structures were impacted upon by the foundation trenches. Plough scars probably of recent date were observed.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events in the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any cropmark features in the site or the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Other Industry and Planned Estate (Social Housing). Industrial development is first depicted in 1976. This large factory building is now in multiple occupancy as an industrial estate but is labelled on historic photographs as the AEI Factory. Geometric semi-detached housing (probably social housing due to uniformity of plan form units), fossilising in its exterior boundaries fragmentary legibility of former surveyed enclosures of the former 'North Common' enclosed as part of the 1825 enclosure award (see Haywood 1825). There is no legibility of former landscapes. Landscape character zones within the buffer are defined as Drained Wetland; Planned Estate (Social Housing); Romany or Other Traveller Community site; and Other Industry. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the buffer, a former brickworks site at King Edward Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1853 OS map. No further changes were shown within the site on OS maps produced between that date and 1984. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including fields, Thorne and Marshland Road, Stack Sike Drain, Broadbent Gate Road, Green Lane and North Land End Drain. A brick works has been built in the southern part of the buffer by 1892. A small number of houses had been constructed by 1906, with further housing shown on the 1932 and 1956 OS maps. A large engineering works had been built to the south of the site by 1962, with housing to the west by 1971. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of previously unrecorded buried archaeology 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: There are no SMR records within the site itself. One event is recorded within the buffer zone, although no features or finds of archaeological significance were recorded. 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 or the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as railway sidings and depots. Before the railway was established, the area consisted of agricultural land. The original pattern of enclosures was created by a programme of drainage on Doncaster Carr. This resulted in a series of straight and regular fields aligned on the drainage ditches. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Further character areas within the buffer zone include a business park and industrial estate. The site currently comprises a narrow strip of scrubland situated in between two areas of industrial development. The railway line is to the immediate south of the site, with Decoy Bank South and the A6182 to the north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: By 1854 the site was part of a group of fields labelled Doncaster Carr. The majority of the field boundaries within this area were drains. Decoy Bank was present on a northwest to southeast alignment, running approximately through the centre of the site, flanked by a drain at each side. By 1930 some railway sidings had been constructed at the very southern end of the site, although by 1980 these had been removed. There was no evident change on the 1992 map. The majority of the area surrounding the site was fields in 1854, most with drainage boundaries. The mainline Great Northern Railway was already extant running to the immediate south of the site, and a circular area of trees named Decoy Wood was present to the southeast of the site. By 1892 numerous sidings had been constructed from the southern side of the mainline, to the south of the site, and a Wagon Depot had been constructed to the south of the site, which by 1903 had been extended to the west. Also by 1903 a gasometer was present to the west of the site and Red Bank Viaduct had been established next to it. By 1930 the sidings to the immediate south of the site were named Decoy Sidings, and those to the west were labelled Mineral Sidings. The gasometer buildings had been removed by 1972 and by 1980 some of the sidings had been removed. By 1984 the A6182 had been constructed to the north of the site, although with the exception of this by 1992 much the northern end of the buffer zone remained relatively undeveloped, remaining as fields with numerous drainage boundaries. Survival: The site remained a part of fields until the late 1990s/early 2000s, with the exception of the very southern tip of the site, which contained railway sidings. This would have had minimal below-ground impact. Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance known to have existed on the site, the potential for the survival of previously unrecorded below-ground archaeological remains on the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that the current site boundaries had been created by 2002, with industrial buildings present to the immediate east and west of the site, and the road Decoy Bank South, which previously ran through the site, re-aligned to run directly along the northern site boundary. No change is evident on the site since 2002, and the site currently comprises scrub wasteland. No previously unrecorded archaeological remains have been identified within the available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site and extending into the buffer, comprising trial trenching evaluation for the First Point development. This evaluation covered the southern part of the site, and identified a floor and demolition deposits related to a post-medieval farmhouse, partially intruding into the western edge of the site. A ring ditch and D-shaped enclosure of Roman date were both located in the buffer to the southeast of the site. The ring ditch, possibly a barrow, and D-shaped enclosure containing a probable round house were fully excavated as a separate event and are also recorded as monuments within the buffer. 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 did not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded at the south side of the buffer zone on a photograph dated to 1948, though the majority of this area has since been developed. A linear ditch of uncertain date was recorded in the area to the southeast of the site, within the Zone B2 area. This is likely to have been part of a Roman field system, with more extensive remains found during excavation of this area. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a large area of drained wetland retaining many historic field boundaries that probably resulted from the extensive drainage programme of the 17th century. Some of this character has been lost following more recent development of the area. Further character zones within the buffer comprise a sewage works, a sports ground, a large area of heavy metal trades and other works adjacent to the railway, where industrialisation began in the later 19th century, a school and planned social housing. The most recent imagery (2009) shows the site as predominantly an area of cleared, vacant land along the southern side, with areas of rough grass to the north and a small works building in the central east area. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of two fields, both similarly sized, rectangular fields suggestive of surveyed enclosure from former commons. One of the fields had been subdivided into two by 1892. The southern boundary was formed by a drainage ditch in a sinuous route, possibly a former stream. By 1961, a small works building was shown in the central east part of the site, with a railway line leading southeast from the building to Grass Road, outside the buffer. A small structure or enclosure was shown along the southern side of the site, unlabelled. The works building had been extended eastwards by 1975. The remaining area of the site was shown as undeveloped, and the layout was unchanged by 1992. The function of the works is uncertain, but a travelling crane is shown on the recent OS map, presumably along the railway line. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed mainly fields, regular surveyed enclosure to the north and more irregular fields to the south of the drain forming the southern boundary of the site, in an area called Wood Field. Cuckoo Lane or Common Lane ran through the southern edge of the buffer, and Balby Carr Bank through the northern edge. The 1903 map showed a building in a field to the northwest. By 1930 a sewage works established to the west by 1892 had extended into the buffer zone. Common Lane had been renamed Weston Road and Carr View Farm was shown at the southern edge of the buffer. By 1956, housing was under development to the south of the site, north of Weston Road. The 1961 map showed a large works building to the north of the site and sports ground to the northwest, which had expanded by 1984. Survival: Archaeological evaluation has been undertaken in the stripped southern half of the site. This identified remains of a post-medieval farmhouse at the western edge, possibly just outside the site. Roman settlement and agricultural features were located outside the site to the southeast, where more extensive excavation was undertaken. The northern parts of the site have not been evaluated, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within this area is considered to be moderate.

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

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required in the northern half of the site if it is brought forward for development, with mitigation likely to be complete in the southern half. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman settlement and agriculture could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph shows the small works building and railway line within the site. The surrounding area to the north, west and south was grassland, with trees along the drain/stream at the southern boundary. By 2008, the southern half of the site had been stripped of vegetation and a new road had been built within it, to the south of the works building. Just to the southeast of the site, a new distribution warehouse was shown. The 2015 image is obscured by clouds. Lidar data shows the features shown on the aerial photography, and a drainage ditch around the north and east edges of the northwest part of the site. A linear bank runs along the southern edge of this part of the site. The possible stream at the southern boundary is shown as a sinuous hollow.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site, a geophysical survey, though none of the survey areas appear to cover the site itself. The survey extended throughout the northwest part of the buffer, locating a number of features previously identified on aerial photographs including field systems, an enclosure and double-ditched 'droveway'. There are ten further events are six monuments in the buffer zone recorded in the SMR. The events relate to geophysical surveys and trial trenches, all located within the north and west sides of the buffer. These investigations Romano-British settlement and field systems, with pottery from the settlement provisionally dated to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The six monuments within the buffer zone comprise two locations of rectilinear enclosures with round houses, recorded to the west and to the north of the site (and derived from events recorded above); a crouched burial to the northwest of the site; Woodlands Colliery Village, a model village constructed in the early 20th century for miners at the nearby Brodsworth Colliery, at the southeast end of the buffer; and the route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Doncaster, part of which survives as an earthwork to the immediate east of the site, and is a Scheduled Monument. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, a surviving earthwork section of the Roman road known as the Roman Ridge. This is located to the immediate east of the site boundary. There is one grade II listed building within the buffer, a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1908 as part of the Woodlands colliery village, at the southeast end of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records fragmentary traces of Iron Age/Roman field boundaries at the southern end of the site, which extend to the west and north into the buffer zone and beyond. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the western side of the buffer zone as modern warehousing of the Redhouse Interchange characterisation area, a commercial development of sheds with no legibility of the former enclosed fields. The northeast part of the buffer is characterised as a planned social housing estate at Woodlands, a later part of the colliery village built on the same geometric principles as the original development, part of which is located in the southeast part of the buffer. Within the south of the buffer, the landscape is characterised as the site of Brodsworth Colliery pit head, , a landscaped former coal mine now regenerating as meadows and woodlands, with partial legibility of the former extractive site. The site currently comprises several small parcels of land, currently used as allotments with a small strip of arable land at the southern end of the site. The Roman Ridge Scheduled Monument runs along the eastern site boundary, with Long Lands Lane at the southern boundary. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1851 OS map, the site was part of four narrow fields. By 1892, some of the boundaries had been removed and the site covered part of two fields. No changes were apparent on the site until 1962, when allotment gardens and associated small structures are present over the northern half of the site. The site remained unchanged on the 1982 map. Within the buffer, in 1851 the majority of the area comprised fields. Immediately to the southeast of the site, a limestone quarry was marked, although this had gone by 1948. A house called Windy Mount was present to the west of the site. The site was located at a crossroads of Long Lands Lane, Ridge Balk, and the Roman Road. There were few changes until 1906, when an area of woodland appeared to the south of the site, labelled Terry Holt. By 1930, a water works had been built to the east of the site, on the opposite side of the Roman Road, and Brodsworth Main Colliery had been established to the south of the site. To the southeast, a housing estate was built, associated with the colliery. By 1961, further houses had been constructed to the northeast of the site.

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

Survival: The site was part of surveyed enclosure in 1830, and little development has occurred on the site since, with the exception of allotment gardens at the northern end of the site. Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets on the site is considered to be moderate to high. The site does not currently appear to have been covered by the evaluation or mitigation of the wider Redhouse Interchange area. Although the HEC plots the site within the Redhouse Interchange area, with no legibility of former landscape characters, the northern and central east-west boundary within the site do seem to correspond to boundaries on the 1851 OS map, which are likely to relate to the 1830s enclosure of the area. Iron Age to Romano-British cropmark ditches have been recorded as cropmarks in the southern area of the site; geophysical survey in the vicinity identified further features not visible as cropmarks, and there is the potential for similar features within the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Assessment of the impact of development on the setting of the Roman Ridge road Scheduled Monument may also be required. Significance: The fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Romano-British boundaries recorded within the site are part of a wider landscape of features of this date, some of which have been excavated and have revealed enclosures, roundhouses and field systems. Remains within the site could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Google Earth images from 2002 show the site as allotment gardens in the northern half, with arable fields to the south. By 2003, construction on large sheds to the north and west of the site had begun, which was completed by 2008. By 2015, the southern half of the site also contains allotment gardens, with only a very narrow strip of arable land at the extreme southern edge of the site. The only earthwork features visible in Lidar data relate to the allotments. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008. Lidar data file SE5208 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are located in the buffer zone to the northwest of the site, within the core of Harlington village. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Fragmentary cropmarks of probable Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches are recorded within the buffer to the east, west and south of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern half of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, dating to the 1822 Parliamentary Enclosure of former common land. Other character zones within the buffer comprise further Parliamentary Enclosure from former open field to the northeast, whilst to the northwest are the historic core area of Harlington and 20th-century private and social housing estates. A small area of a well-preserved strip enclosures extends into the western edge of the buffer. The site is currently three narrow fields, bounded by Doncaster Road on the north and the edges of gardens off Hill Lane to the west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as two fields, defined by the current main field boundaries. The fields are regular and characteristic of surveyed Parliamentary Enclosure. The area is called Barnbrough Common, indicating it was enclosed from common land. The eastern tip of the site was cut by the Dearne Valley Railway between 1903 and 1930. No changes occurred within the site by 1985. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows Parliamentary Enclosure fields to the east, south and north of the site. The edge of Harlington village is shown to the northwest, to the north of Doncaster Road at its junction with Mill Lane. The 1892 map shows the buildings within this area as probable farms and a smithy, the latter no longer shown in 1903. By 1930, a railway line runs through the buffer from northwest to southeast, shown as the LMSR Dearne Valley Railway and embanked as it passes the site. Some development had occurred in a field to the west of the site by 1948, with semi-detached houses shown in this field by 1966, and a further house was built to the east of the site adjacent to the railway, accessed via a lane to the immediate east of the site. The field to the west of the site was fully occupied by housing and a pumping station by 1977, at which date the railway line was disused, though the embankment still survived. By 1985, part of the embankment had been levelled to the east of the site, with some development on its former route, which is preserved as a linear strip of land. Survival: The site has been fields since at least the mid-19th century, most recently used for pasture. The lack of substantial sub-surface development indicates that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried remains is high. Cropmarks of probable Iron Age to Roman ditches have been recorded in the vicinity of the site, and there is the potential for similar remains to extend into the site, which may have been under pasture at the time the photographs were taken and therefore not conducive to the formation of cropmarks. Further investigations: 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 activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photographs show the site as two fields defined by hedges, with the eastern field divided into two by a modern fenceline. The fields are grassed and used as pasture for grazing horses. Between 2003 and 2008, the western field appeared to have been subdivided into a number of smaller plots, perhaps defined by fences, possibly for enclosing small numbers of animals. Two sheds or stables were shown at the western edge of the site at that date. There is no Lidar coverage for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2008 & 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the buffer zone. The monuments comprise a post-medieval ice house at Bow House, to the north of the site, and the site of a medieval windmill to the southwest of the site. No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Four listed buildings are present within the buffer zone, all of which are Grade II listed; two of these lie to the north, whilst two are situated to the northeast. 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 and the southwest part of the buffer as part of surveyed enclosure dating to the 1825 Enclosure Award, with most of the boundaries still in existence today as historic hedgerows. There is no legibility of former the open field, but a significant area of well-preserved enclosure landscape exists. A narrow western strip of the site is characterised as modern housing development, with partial legibility of previous form. Further character areas within the buffer include a variety of housing developments. There is no legibility of former landscape characters in the majority of the buffer due to this modern development. A small area in the southwest of the buffer comprises the character area of Lings Field, which retains significant legibility of the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure landscape. The site currently comprises a single plot of land, possibly used for pasture, with a narrow strip of hard-standing at its western edge. The site is bounded by Lings Lane to the west, and hedge boundaries elsewhere. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown on the 1855 OS map as part of a single field. By 1992, the current southern site boundary had been established. Within the buffer zone, the basic modern road pattern was recognisable by 1855. At this time, a number of buildings are present at the south-western end of the site, one being the Artesian Well Brewery, which had extended southwards by 1907 and changed its name to Don Valley Brewery by 1930. It had closed by 1962, when the buildings were labelled Council Yard. To the immediate north of the site, an Ice House is shown within the grounds of Bow House in 1855. Fields called The Lings are present to the south of the site, with a large house to the north of Manor Road named Hatfield House. A few smaller houses are present on Manor Road, but the area surrounding the site is fairly undeveloped at this time. By 1930, almshouses are marked just to the northwest of the site, with further houses shown on the eastern side of Lings Lane. By 1948, the area to the north of the site is becoming heavily developed, with new buildings off Manor Road and Ash Hill Road. Hatfield House had been demolished by 1962 and in its place are the beginnings of a modern estate, well established by 1984. By 1966, the area between Doncaster Road and Coppice Lane is also developed. The area to the southeast of the site remains relatively undeveloped in contrast to the majority of the buffer. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance on the site, the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains 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 within the site. One monument and one event are recorded within the buffer zone. A site of Roman activity is located in the southwest part of the buffer, adjacent to the River Idle. A watching brief in this area revealed pottery sherds and coins dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries, as well as in situ column bases, indicating a building. A further geophysical survey did not record and anomalies but it is thought there is still potential for archaeological remains. 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 does not record any features within the site or the buffer, but this area is not covered by that project. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as piecemeal enclosure with minimal boundary loss, enclosed prior to 1766 probably from open fields. The area to the north of site is recorded as private housing and agglomerated fields. To the south is an area of valley floor meadows known as Bawtry Washlands. This is an area of open pasture along the floodplain of the River Idle. The area is labelled as 'Bawtry Carr' on maps suggesting a more scrubland and wooded environment previously. The site is currently a field in arable cultivation, bounded to the north by Thorne Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site situated within the current piecemeal enclosure. The 1890 map depicts the line of the Great Eastern Railway running north-south in the western part of the buffer. The area remained largely unchanged until the 1992 OS map when the housing estate to the north of the site had been developed. Survival: Cartographic assessment shows that the site has been used for farming and although some sub-surface archaeological deposits may be truncated, the potential for the preservation of any deeper archaeological remains is moderate to high. Roman pottery and a probable building were recorded in a field to the southwest. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman activity could be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Recent aerial photography shows the site to be a field in use for arable cultivation. The field boundaries are defined by hedges and are unchanged from the 1852 OS map. No obvious cropmarks were visible within the field on any of the photographs, and Lidar data shows only modern cultivation marks and the field boundaries.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records five monuments and two events within the buffer zone. The monuments comprise the Church of St Lawrence, which is 12th century in origin and Grade I listed, located to the south of the site. Three timber framed buildings are also recorded, located to the south and southeast of the site, as well as an Elizabethan coin found on Main Street, to the south of the site. Both events are also located to the south of the site; archaeological monitoring at St Lawrence Vicarage, which recorded a post-medieval ditch and pit, and excavations at the church, which revealed a 17th- to 18th-century ditch. No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Six listed buildings are present within the buffer zone, one of which is the grade I listed Church of St Lawrence. The remaining five grade II listed buildings are all situated to the south of the site within the historic core of Hatfield, though it should be noted that the location of the Travis Charity School (1192369) on the Historic England database is wrong, with the building actually being to the west of the point shown, on the opposite side of the road to the current Hatfield Travis Infant School, which is of modern origin. 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 central and eastern parts of the site as a well-preserved section of 'Firth Field', a well-maintained group of parliamentary enclosure fields retaining nearly all of the hedgerows first shown on 1825 enclosure map. There is fragmentary visibility of previous landscape types. A small section at the western end of the site is characterised as mid-20th-century factory buildings, with no legibility of the earlier surveyed enclosure of open field. Within the buffer are a variety of landscape character areas, mostly comprising modern housing, with some areas of surveyed enclosure. To the north-east of the site is Jubilee Park, municipal parkland created from part of the former Firth Field. Jubilee Park first appears on OS maps between 1967 and 1982. The park contains fragmented lines of trees originating from the surveyed enclosure of the field. Within the remainder of the buffer, legibility of former landscapes characteristics is poor, due to modern development in the form of houses and schools. The site currently comprises open land to the east, with a mid-20th-century factory building and associated car park to the west. The site is bounded to the west by Cuckoo Lane, to the north by an unnamed lane, and to the south and east by hedging. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as the northern half of a single plot of land. There was little change in the first half of the 20th century, but by 1962, a factory was built at the western end of the site. This had been extended by 1973 and again by 1982, with the addition of two small ancillary buildings to the south and northwest of the main building. The present southern site boundary had been established by 1982, probably to separate the factory from the expanding Travis Infant School, located to the south. There has been little further change to the site since then, although a car park was established to the immediate northeast of the factory at some point between 1982 and 2002. Within the buffer zone, Cuckoo Lane, which forms the western site boundary, was extant by 1854. The historic core of Hatfield was located to the south and west of the site, with numerous buildings along High Street and Station Road/Cuckoo Lane. A grammar school shown to the southwest of the site off Cuckoo Lane was labelled Travis’s Charity School in 1892. By this date also, a gasworks was shown to the northwest of the site, but had been demolished by 1956. The 1966 map showed that a new Travis Primary School had been built on the opposite side of Cuckoo Lane, and Cuckoo Lane was becoming heavily developed, particularly on its western side. By 1982, Hatfield Manor Middle School had been constructed to the north of the site, along with the lane which forms the northern site boundary. The area to the north and northeast of the site has remained undeveloped and

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

largely retains the field enclosure pattern of 1825. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance on the site, the potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate in the eastern part of the site. Within the footprint of the factory at the western end of the site, the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. The impact of the development on the setting of the nearby grade II listed former Travis Charity School, to the southwest of the site, may need to be considered. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photography shows a mid-20th-century office/factory building and associated car park within the western part of the site, and a small field of rough grass. Lidar data for the site shows an irregular small mound along the southern site boundary. As this boundary was established in 1982, the mound is unlikely to be of archaeological significance.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or records within the site. Six monuments and four events are recorded within the buffer. The monuments include a possible Iron Age to Roman enclosure recorded as a cropmark in a field to the south of the site, the possible site of Bawtry's medieval inland port, and medieval pits and linear features recorded during excavation at Bridge Lane House on Gainsborough Road. Post-medieval houses, cottages and a dovecote within Bawtry are also recorded, including Bawtry Hall and former stables and dovecote, which are also listed buildings. The events included the archaeological evaluation and excavation at Bridge Lane House, as well as a further evaluation at Gainsborough Road and another at The Courtyard, neither of which identified any archaeological features pre-dating the post-medieval period. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One Scheduled Monument, a market cross, is located at the north edge of the buffer. Fifteen listed buildings are located within the buffer. Bawtry Hall, near the northwest edge of the buffer is grade II* listed, the remaining 14 are grade II and relate to the historic core of Bawtry to the northwest of the site, with one war memorial located to the west of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer; however, the site may be just outside the area covered by this project. One cropmark feature is recorded to the south of the site on the SMR. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and part of the western buffer as Bawtry Hall and front lawns. The hall was reputedly built in the late 18th century, possibly on the site of an earlier hall. The remaining part of the ornamental park associated with the hall is located at the western edge of the buffer. Further character zones within the buffer include an area of possible burgage plots, the market place, an industrial building east of the historic core of the town, and detached housing to the north, with an area of open valley floor meadows in the northeast part of the buffer. No landscape character information is available for the southern part of the buffer, which is in Nottinghamshire. Historic landfill data records an area of infilled ground to the north of the site, at Gainsborough Road. The nature of the landfill, other than ‘inert’, is not recorded. The site is currently a plot of land enclosed by low hedges to the north, grassed and containing several ornamental trees, with taller trees along the western and southern boundaries. It appears to be a garden. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as part of a field bounded to the north by Cock Hill Lane, to the west by South Parade and along the south by a long, narrow pond called 'Clothes Hedge Pond'. The county boundary ran through the pond on the same alignment as the site boundary. The site may be part of the lawns associated with Bawtry Hall, the area to the west of the site being occupied by trees. The 1886 map shows Clothes Hedge Pond as silted up, and a drainage ditch running through it, forming the county boundary. Between 1962 and 1967, the western boundary of the site was established, and the eastern boundary by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows development to the north of Cock Hill Road, in the area between South Parade and Church Street, with Bawtry Hall to the northwest in an area of parkland. The Great Northern Railway ran through the eastern edge of the buffer, and the area to the south of the site comprised fields slightly suggestive of enclosure from medieval open field. Further development took place to the north of the site, west of Church Street, between 1956 and 1962, by which date the former field to the south of the site was shown as a sports ground. Cockhill Lane had been extended across the north side of the site by 1985, with further development shown to the north of the lane in 1992, by which date a farm had been built to the west of the sports ground.

Survival: The site has been a garden or lawn since at least the mid-19th century. Trees within the site and around the edges may have caused some sub-surface disturbance, but in general the potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. The drainage ditch to the south of the site marks the county boundary. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2012 aerial photographs show the site as a grassed area, with trees along the west and south boundaries, and smaller ornamental trees within the field. A low hedge forms the northern boundary, and the area appears to be a garden. Shadows from the trees make it difficult to pick out any features within the site, but Street View shows it as a fairly level area with no clear earthwork features. Lidar data shows earthwork remains of the former Clothes Hedge Pond to the immediate south of the site, but no features within the site itself.

Post-medieval walls and drains were also recorded. ESY464 Gainsborough Road After an excavation of six trial trenches within the proposed Y Excavations area for development, no features of any archaeological significance were discovered. However, this importantly implies that the focus for Bawtry's river trade lay further to the north. ESY467 Archaeological In July 2006 a programme of trial trenching was undertaken at Y Evaluation at Bridge Lane House. A number of features relating to medieval Bridge Lane House settlement and water management were identified including post-holes, a timber-lined (barrel) pit, a channel/ditch and a possible pond. These features appear to have gone out of use by the post-medieval period. Medieval and post-medieval pottery was recovered from all trenches and other artefacts included animal bone, clay tobacco pipe, glass, leather, metal and wood. ESY469 Archaeological In 2006 a programme of trial trenching was undertaken at The Y Evaluation at The Courtyard off High Street in Bawtry. Despite being located Courtyard, High within what is believed to be the medieval core of Bawtry and Street, Bawtry close to medieval structures, no structural remains pre-dated the post-medieval period.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one findspot within the site: a Neolithic arrowhead. Two findspots and one monument are recorded within the buffer zone: two Roman coins and the motte of a medieval castle. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument is located at the north end of the buffer, Cusworth Castle medieval motte. The grade II Registered Park of Cusworth Hall is also located within the northern part of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded levelled ridge and furrow in the central part of the site. Levelled ridge and furrow and the medieval motte were recorded in the northern part of the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields. This land became agglomerated between 1948 and 1966 after the removal of surveyed field boundaries in the area marked on the 1851 OS as 'Park Closes'. This name probably relates to the landscape parks of Sprotborough, (now built over) to the south, and Cusworth to the north. There is no legibility of the earlier landscape character. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Private Parkland, Agglomerated Fields, Villas/detached Housing, Plantation and Private Housing Estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site comprised three fields within Park Closes at the time of the 1854 OS map. it is not clear if this name to Cusworth Park, Sprotbrough Park or both. A footpath crossed the northern part of the site in 1854. A rectangular greenhouse was shown in the site’s southeast corner on the 1930 OS map. This remained extant in 1956, but had replaced by a smaller building on a different alignment by 1961. No changes were shown within the site on the 1980 OS map. Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including Sprotbrough Park, Melton Road, fields, field boundaries, the site of Cusworth motte castle, Long Plantation, parts of Lord’s Flat and Stag Plantation, and the New Lodge. Stag Hill, a gravel pit and sheepfold were shown in 1892, while greenhouses and a well were marked on the 1904 map. Housing developments had commenced in Sprotbrough Park by 1956, with further housing, a nursery and a pond shown in 1961. The A1(M) had been constructed by 1966, with a depot and Albert bridge marked within the buffer on the 1980 OS map. Survival: The site has been fields since at least 1854. Arable cultivation may have caused some truncation of below-ground deposits, but below the plough zone, the potential for buried archaeological remains 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 fields, in arable cultivation. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer zone. One monument is St Oswald’s Church to the southwest of the site, containing substantial Norman elements and seven foliate grave slabs. It is a grade I listed building, and the SMR point appears to be mis-located, with the church shown further to the south. The other monument is an air-raid shelter at Finningley Village School to the southeast of the site. Archaeological evaluation at Manor Farm revealed evidence for the brick dovecote in the northeast of the site and a 19th-century brick lined well. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Four listed buildings are recorded within the buffer: the Church of Holy Trinity and St Oswald is grade I listed, whilst the remaining three, the Village Hall, Holly House and the Old Rectory, are grade II listed. All are located to the south of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site as playing fields/recreation ground. The area is made up of former piecemeal enclosure with significant legibility of the former field. The area surrounding the site is made up of the vernacular cottages of Finningley Historic Core. The village form, as depicted on historic maps, suggests an unplanned coalescence of farmsteads and cottages around a triangular green at the junction of three roads. Private housing estates lie to the southwest of the site, built in the last 30 years, in addition to an area of religious worship which contains St Oswald’s medieval parish church. On the outskirts of the buffer, to the west lies Doncaster Sheffield Airport, constructed on land that had been part of the former RAF Finningley. The site is currently shown as a grassed field, surrounded to the west, south and east by housing. A historic farm building is located on the Doncaster Road frontage to the north of the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map depicts the site as one of two piecemeal enclosures. The site remained mainly unchanged, but became progressively surrounded by development, as depicted on the 1962 and 1985 maps. Within the buffer, the 1886 map depicts the church, the manor house and vernacular buildings forming part of the historic core of Finningley to the east and south of the site. Farm buildings, possibly barns, were located on the Doncaster Road frontage to the north of the site. There were few changes until the 1962 map, when the settlement at Finningley had greatly expanded to the east and northeast of the site, and the airfield was shown to the west of the buffer. Housing had been built to the west of the site by 1985. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use from at least the 19th century onwards. This may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the zone impacted by ploughing, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. The proximity of the site to the historic core of the village and church suggests there is the potential for medieval remains to survive within the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely be required if the site is brought forward for development. This should include an assessment of the impact of development on the setting of the nearby Village Hall. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Two monuments are recorded within the buffer, the site of a pottery works to the immediate north of Bank Street and a former National School to the west of the site. No Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings are recorded within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a single 20th- century air raid shelter within the northwest part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of New Mexborough urban commercial core. It was first urbanised between 1775 and 1852, this area retains much of the original form of its development with small terraced shop units. Most of the buildings were extant by 1891. Further character zones within the buffer include further commercial core elements, late 19th-century terraced housing, modern private and social housing, modern road infrastructure, a shopping centre and church, industrial complexes, a sports ground, and a surviving area of valley floor meadows possibly preserving some of the character of medieval to post-medieval enclosure. The site is currently the Red Lion public house with a former beer garden and car park to the west, fronting onto Bank Street. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the Red Lion Inn at the eastern end of the site. The 1892 map showed the pub, by then the Red Lion Hotel, as an L-shaped building with a longer range heading west along the street frontage and a yard to the south, containing a water pump. The majority of the longer range to the north had been demolished by 1948. Between 1958 and 1971, the southern boundary of the site had been established by the creation of a new road system. The pub was still shown, with yard areas to the west. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the area surrounding the site as part of the core of New Mexborough, with buildings to either side of Bank Street and Market Street to the south. The Mexborough Pottery is shown to the north of Bank Street at that date, with the Don Navigation in the southern part of the buffer. The pottery had been demolished by 1892. A picture theatre was shown to the east of the pub by 1930, with extensive athletic grounds and playing fields to the north of Bank Street. A Methodist chapel had been built on the former site of the pottery by 1948. The area to the south of the site was greatly altered between 1958 and 1971 when the A6023 dual carriageway was built across the former route of Market Street and all buildings to the south of the site had been demolished to make way for the road. The cinema was then shown as a club. No substantial further changes had occurred by the time of the 1988 map. Survival: With the exception of a narrow range of buildings fronting Bank Street that were demolished in the 1950s, the site has remained relatively the same with only some minor landscaping relating to the current car park evident. Any unrecorded below-ground archaeological features or deposits representative of pre-19th-century activity are likely to have been truncated. The potential for buried remains associated with the demolished range to survive within the site is moderate to high. The standing building within the site is a public house, recorded on the site since at least 1854, and this forms a heritage asset in its own right. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required should the site be brought forward for development. This should include an assessment of the historic character and significance of the Red Lion pub, which was shown on the 1854 map and retains external elements of architectural significance.

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

Significance: The Red Lion public house could be considered to be of Local heritage significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photography indicates that the Red Lion Pub was closed after 2002. The western side of the site is a car park and tarmac-surfaced former beer garden. The pub building is two-storeys in height to the front, with a sub-basement level to the rear where the ground is lower than the street frontage. There are two substantial buttresses to the south of the building and a one-and-a-half storey extension to the west. Both buildings are rendered and painted white, obscuring construction details, but original arched, moulded windows and a decorative door architrave survive in the main building at ground floor level, with a string course separating the storeys and moulded rectangular windows on the first floor. The extension has a moulded stone lintel over a blocked doorway. Both buildings have hipped roofs. Within the buffer, the former cinema to the east is a stone- built range with substantial ashlar window lintels and openings, which appears to be potentially older than the public house and does not easily correspond with historic map evidence. Lidar data does not show any archaeological features within the site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2008 & 2009. Lidar data file SK4799. RAF/CPE/UK/2011 5368 16-Apr-1947.

The monument is a large, double-ditched enclosure containing a possible hut and another rounded enclosure with two possible hut sites, located to the southwest of the site and probably of Iron Age to Roman date, whilst the findspot is of a Roman coin found in a garden to the west of the site. A watching brief off Jossey Lane at the northwest edge of the buffer did not record any archaeological features, and trial trenching at the Bentley Works, south of the site, revealed that prior disturbance had removed any traces of possible Iron Age to Roman features thought likely to have continued into the site. 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. Within the buffer, the Iron Age to Roman rectangular enclosure and huts were recorded to the southwest, and further ditches associated with a trackway and field boundaries of similar date were recorded to the south, in an area since built on. In the north of the buffer, earthwork and cropmark ridge and furrow has been recorded. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southeast part of the buffer as an industrial depot of later 20th-century date. Further character zones within the buffer include a playing field and private, semi-detached and social housing estates to the east, south and west, and agglomerated fields to the north. The site currently comprises vacant land, cleared of buildings. The northern boundary is formed by Jossey Lane, and the western boundary by a disused railway line. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an area of irregular fields to the south of Bruslingholme Lane. A drain ran along the western side of the site, labelled the Swaith Dike in 1930. By 1971, a square building was shown within the site, labelled 'depot', with a smaller building to the south and a new road network within the site. There were no substantial changes by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the GNER railway line running on a northwest to southeast alignment to the east of the site, and a pond to the north of Bruslingholme Lane. Settlement at Bentley and Little London was located just outside the southeast edge of the buffer. By 1893, the pond was shown as silted up. The 1930 map depicted a new railway line running to the immediate west of the site and forming the site boundary, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell branch. A possible station or warehouse was shown to the east of the older railway line, now the LNER, and some housing had encroached into the eastern part of the buffer. By 1959, works buildings were shown to the southeast of the site, west and east of the LNER, and housing was shown to the west of the Gowdall and Braithwell branch line. The pond to the north of the site was shown as a fish pond, and Bruslingholme Lane had been renamed Jossey Lane. Housing had been built to the south of the site by 1978. Survival: Part of the site has been built on in the later 20th century, with the remainder having been concrete or tarmac surfaced and used for storage and parking. This suggests that, other than below the building footprint, there is a moderate potential for the preservation of buried archaeology within the site. Iron Age to Roman cropmarks have been recorded nearby, and a Roman coin was found to the west, and similar remains could continue into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

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

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photographs showed the site as occupied by the square building shown in 1971, set within a hedged boundary, with the remainder of the area used for storage of industrial materials and for parking. By 2015, the site had been cleared of buildings was shown as vacant land. Lidar data does not show any features of archaeological interest within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any events or monuments within the site. Within the buffer zone, there is one monument to the south of the site, the grade II listed Edenthorpe Manor House. There is also one event recorded within the buffer zone, to the north of the site, relating to excavated features demonstrating a complex sequence of ditch cutting episodes, with some associated pottery. No date is recorded for these features or artefacts. There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. There is one listed building within the buffer zone, the above mentioned grade II listed Edenthorpe Manor House, originally constructed in 1606. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records fragmentary Iron Age/Roman field boundaries within the northern end of the buffer zone. These are part of a cohesive pattern of brickwork-pattern field systems, which spread further to the east, forming part of a wider landscape of such features. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a modern planned estate of social housing. The road plan of the estate is shown as laid out by 1930 although it is possible that the estate was not completed until after WWII, as the estate is only partly built at this time and shown as a sketched amendment on the 1949 six inch OS. The estate was laid out in the former parkland of Streetthorpe/Edenthorpe Hall, although legibility of this former landscape is invisible. The buffer zone also comprises a mix of modern private and social housing, supermarkets and schools. The site currently comprises a triangular parcel of wasteland surrounded by modern houses, situated in the suburban core of Edenthorpe. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 OS map the site is located within the ground of Streetthorpe Hall, located to the west of the main structure of the hall in an area of trees. The current site boundaries are not present at this time. By 1892 the name of the hall had been altered to Edenthorpe Hall. The site remained unchanged until 1930, by which time houses had been constructed along Thorne Road, and the associated back gardens formed the north-western boundary of the site. By 1948 the south-western site boundary had been established, with the construction of The Crescent and associated housing. By 1962, Eden Grove Road had been constructed, creating the eastern site boundary, and forming the shape of the site as it remains today. At this time, six small structures are depicted within the centre of the site, which is labelled as a Builder’s Yard. By 1983 the largest of these structures had been removed, as had one of the smaller ones, leaving a collection of four small structures within the site at the southern end. By 1992, only one building survives on the map, at the southern site boundary. Within the buffer zone, in 1854 the area immediately surrounding the site is part of Streetthorpe Hall, with the main structure of the hall located to the east of the site. The Manor House (1606) is located to the south-east of the site. Outside of the grounds of Streetthorpe Hall, the majority of the area comprised fields, and very little development was present; there is no evidence of the current settlement of Edenthorpe. By 1892, Streetthorpe Hall had changed its name to Edenthorpe Hall. The Manor House had a gasometer associated with it, to the east of the house. By 1930 Edenthorpe Hall appears to have been split into two separate structures, the southern one still named Edenthorpe Hall, the northern one Edenthorpe House. Development had occurred to the north and west of the site by this time, with dwellings on Thorne Road, Conigsbro Road and Rowena Avenue. Further houses had been constructed to the south of the site by 1948, and again to the north-east by 1946. By 1962 the majority of the buffer zone was heavily developed and Edenthorpe Hall had become Edenthorpe County Primary School. Edenthorpe House still existed to the north of the school, although by 1982 it appears to have been demolished. Survival: Although historic maps suggest that some buildings have existed on the site from 1962, the majority of the site

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

has remained undeveloped, and as such, the potential for the survival of below-ground heritage assets on the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site the be wasteland, with moderate tree cover. It is possible that one of the buildings first shown on the 1962 map is still present along the south-western boundary of the site, although this cannot be fully determined due to heavy tree cover. No heritage assets were identified within the available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth Images 2002, 2003, 2008 & 2009. 6206/12 NMR 719/022 02-Jul-1974

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Four monuments and two events are recorded in the buffer zone. The monuments include the site of the medieval Stainforth Chapel and a 17th- century timber-framed building. The other two monuments derive from the two events, a sedimentology survey identifying alluvial sediment sequences to the northeast of the site, and Iron Age to Roman settlement and field system remains to the east. No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Four Grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone: Townend Farm; Stainforth Bridge; Lock Cottages; and a timber-framed building. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow remains have been recorded at the edges of the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Agglomerated Fields. These are large arable production units, produced by the removal of irregular and sinuous boundaries from an area which appears to have been enclosed piecemeal from a former open field in advance of 1825. There is fragmentary legibility of earlier enclosure. Character zones within the buffer include Modern Agglomerated fields; Modern Valley Floor Meadows; Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing); Industrial to Modern Villas/ Detached Housing; Modern Semi-Detached Housing; and Modern Villas/ Detached Housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: No features were shown within the site on Josias Aurelebout’s 1639 map of Hatfield Chase or Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. The site was open land in 1854 but the east and west plot boundaries had been established by 1892. No changes were shown within the site on subsequent Ordnance Survey maps, until the construction of a poultry packing station in the eastern part of the site by 1984. Within the buffer zone, Stainforth Bridge, Stainforth village and Plumtree Hill Road were shown on the 1771 Jefferys’ map. The Stainforth and Keadby Canal was opened at the north of the site in 1802. The canal was shown on the 1841 OS map, along with the drain along the site’s southern boundary. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map including Stainforth Bridge; the Stainforth and Keadby Canal; a Corporation Yard; West Hall; Water Lane; Field Lane; various houses, gardens and fields. An ‘old lock house’ was marked in 1854, with a towing path shown along the site’s northern boundary on the 1893 OS map. The later also marked the New Inn; the Black Swan Inn; a swing bridge; South Bank; Fleets; a Methodist Chapel; Central House; St. Matthew’s Church; and a Sunday School. Market Place and a housing estate had been built within the buffer by the time of the 1932 OS map. A church hall, a ‘Gospel Hall’, various clubs, a police station and further housing were shown in 1962. Survival: Given the lack of deep ground disturbance in the western part of the site, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains in this area is considered to be moderate. The construction of the poultry packing station in the eastern part of the site may have impacted on any archaeological remains within its footprint. The archaeological potential in this part of the site is therefore considered to be low to moderate. Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural remains have been recorded within the buffer. 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 western part of the site as rough grassland. The poultry packing plant remained extant in 2002, but had largely been cleared by 2008. This part of the site was shown as hardstanding with encroaching scrub in 2015. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2008, 2009, 2015. Bing Maps: 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded post- medieval ridge and furrow within the buffer zone, to the west of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing). The site was enclosed by the Parliamentary Act of 1825, although the current South Thorne Estate was built with little reference to the historic plan form of the area, hence legibility of the earlier landscape forms is essentially invisible. The character of the buffer zone is much the same as that of the site itself, forming modern private and social housing. The recent modern development has removed all trace of former landscape character types within the buffer zone. The site is located immediately to the north of the South Yorkshire Railway line, which opened in 1859. Thorne South Station opened in 1864. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown as part of field on the 1854 OS map. By 1892 a field boundary had been added to the field, which serves as part of the current northern site boundary. Within the site itself, at the western end, several trees were present. By 1906 a roughly north-south aligned field boundary had been added within the site. By 1962 this field boundary has been removed and a small building had been at the northern end of the site which had been removed by 1970. By 1962 Southfield Close had also been constructed, with associated housing situated at the very eastern end of the site. Four buildings had been constructed within the north area of the site by 1976; the purpose of these building remains unclear, although recent Google Earth images show them to be corrugated metal buildings. By 1989, further similar buildings had been added to the south of these. In 2002, Google Earth Images show these buildings to all be derelict and in a poor state of repair; by 2008, all but the southern-most building had been removed. Within the buffer zone, to the south of the site, the Stainforth and Keadby Canal was opened in 1802. By 1892, a sand pit was present immediately to the north of the site. Also at that date a single railway track led site from the main South Yorkshire Railway line and terminated at a weighing machine, situated to the south-east of the site. By 1932, a crane also stood in this area. These features remained extant in 1962 but had gone by 1976. Miller Lane led to Oldfield’s Mill, a corn mill to the north of the site, in 1854 but the mill itself was no longer shown by 1892. A public house stood on the site of the present-day Victoria by 1854. Extensive housing had been constructed to the north 1962. Survival: A few structures are known to have been present on the site since the first edition OS map, although these are small and generally the form of sheds, and their foundation depth is unknown. The potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate to low. 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 within the site. One findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer. The findspot relates to a quern and part of a wooden shield, of unknown date, found in Askern Brickfield in 1931, whilst the event was a trial trench evaluation near Market Place, Askern, where no archaeological remains were revealed. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded the extent of the Askern Main Colliery and infrastructure within the site and the eastern half of the buffer. Small quarries were recorded to the northwest of the site, and an extensive brick and tile works extended into the northern side of the buffer. Ridge and furrow remains were recorded as cropmarks to the east of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of most of the site and much of the buffer as the former site of Askern Main Colliery, a deep shaft mine sunk in 1911 and demolished by 2002. An area at the southwest tip of the site and in the western and southern sides of the buffer is characterised as planned social housing, part of the colliery village associated with Askern Main and dating from the first half of the 20th century. Further character zones within the buffer include agglomerated fields to the northwest of the site, where boundary removal in the 20th century has led to a loss of the former pattern of strip fields enclosed from open field; the historic core of Askern and St Peter's Church to the east; and drained wetland enclosed from Norton Common and a modern plantation to the northeast. The site is currently an irregularly-shaped area of rough grass and scrub within and around the former colliery site. It is bounded to the north by Campsall Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicted the site as part of an area of fields to the south of Campsall Road. Most of the fields had curving boundaries indicative of enclosure from open field, in an area called Askern Field, though an area at the northern end of the site had smaller, more rectangular fields. Askern Field Plantation crossed the southern part of the site, whilst the small detached portion at the northeast side of the site fronted onto Campsall Road and appears to have contained buildings, possibly a house on the street front and outbuildings behind. The 1893 map showed a large house called The Poplars set back from the street frontage with smaller houses to the east and gardens behind. By 1932, the northern half of the site was covered with the pit head buildings of Askern Main Colliery, with two shafts marked, as well as engine houses and ancillary structures. The complex was linked by railways to siding to the east of the site. The southern part of the site remained fields at that date. In the northeast part of the site, the Poplars had been demolished but the street-front buildings survived. A works building was shown at the eastern edge of the southern part of the site by 1948, extended to two buildings by 1956. The southwest tip of the site was still part of a field in 1961, and works buildings had been built at the eastern side of this area by 1977, with allotment gardens along the southern end. The houses in the detached northeast portion of the site were still shown in 1990. Within the buffer, the northern edge of the settlement at Askern was located to the northeast of the site in 1854, and the main part of the village at the eastern edge of the buffer. A limestone quarry was shown to the east of Campsall Lane just north of the village, with a waggonway connecting it to the Yorkshire and Lancashire Railway at the northeast edge of the buffer. Campsall Park Plantation was within the northwest edge of the buffer, and Chapel Lane ran through the southeast edge. The remaining area was mainly strip enclosures within Askern Field. By 1893, several houses and villas were shown to the north of Campsall Lane, and Askern Quarry was shown as rough pasture. A gas works was shown in the northern part of the buffer, and St Peter's Church had been built to the east of High Street. By 1932, Hilton Street had been built to the south of the northeast portion of the site, with new housing along it. The colliery sidings extended to the south, where spoil was tipped to the west of the lines. Another large spoil heap was located to the north of Campsall Road. Housing associated with the colliery

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

village had been built at the southern edge of the buffer, and a coalite works was shown to the south of the colliery. Housing had extended up to the southern and western edges of the southwest tip of the site by 1961. No major changes were shown within the buffer by 1990. Survival: The majority of the site was occupied by colliery and works buildings in the 20th century, and all of the site, with the exception of the detached northeast portion, was stripped of topsoil and landscaped as part of the reclamation of the colliery following its demolition. The buildings and landscaping are likely to have removed or disturbed any sub-surface deposits within the site, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. The northeast portion of the site has the potential to contain the remains of footings of the 19th-century buildings shown on historic mapping. Further investigations: With the exception of the small detached portion at the northeast edge of the site, further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with the 19th-century buildings in the detached northeast portion of the site are likely to be of Local archaeological significance. The significance of buried remains within the remainder of the site is negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph showed the entire site stripped of topsoil. The colliery buildings in the northern part had been demolished and all the railway infrastructure removed, and the area was undergoing reclamation. The works buildings along the eastern side of the southern part of the site had also been demolished and the site stripped, as well as the area shown as allotments in 1990. The buildings in the detached northeast portion of the site had been demolished by that date, and the site was shown as grassed. By 2008, the colliery site had been landscaped, with a network of roads shown within it and possible playing fields. Two small square enclosures just outside the northern part of the site are likely to be the capped shafts. Most of the site was covered in rough grassland by that date. No further changes were shown by 2015. No Lidar coverage is available for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the northern edge of the site, extending eastwards into the buffer. This was a watching brief on a new bus corridor along Bawtry Road, which identified mainly late 19th- to 20th-century dumping pits, field drains and a tarmac surface, some of which may have been associated with the airfield, and a few sherds of late medieval pottery. Though not recorded within the search area, the buffer included the northern edge of Doncaster Airfield, which was opened in 1939 and was used during the Second World War, then became a licensed airfield for light aircraft. It was closed in the late 1980s, and the site developed. Two further events were recorded within the buffer, a watching brief on a trench at the Dome roundabout, for which no results are recorded, and evaluation at the site of the proposed racecourse hotel, where only recent remains associated with the racecourse were revealed. 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 recorded the extent of the Doncaster Airfield in 1955 as covering the site and the southern and eastern parts of the buffer. It seems unlikely that the airfield extended into the site, as the football ground was already extant when the airfield was created, so this may be a mistake in the digitising. Later mapping shows airfield infrastructure to the immediate southeast of the site. Possible Iron Age to Roman enclosures were recorded at the southeast edge of the buffer and probable field boundaries of a similar date at the northern edge. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as the Belle Vue football ground, formerly occupied by Doncaster Rovers from 1922 until 2006. There is no legibility of the former landscape character of semi-regular enclosures probably enclosed through drainage of wetland in the 17th century, and the football ground has been demolished since the HEC was completed. Further character zones within the buffer include Doncaster Racecourse to the north, a modern leisure centre to the south and southeast, a social housing estate to the west and a school to the southwest. The site is currently cleared ground, with some regenerated rough grass. It is bounded by Belle Vue Way to the north, the leisure centre to the east and housing to the southwest. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire or Christopher Greenwood’s 1817 map of the county. The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a large field, within an area known as Low Pastures. The southwest boundary of the site follows the line of the field boundary shown at that date. Doncaster Rovers’ Belle Vue football stadium was constructed within the site in 1922 and was shown on the 1930 OS map. Little change had occurred within the site by the time of the 1993 OS map. Belle Vue was demolished in 2007. Within the buffer zone, Carr House, Bawtry Road and Doncaster race course were shown on Jefferys’ 1771 map, with Leger Way and Bell Vue house marked on the 1817 Greenwood map and a ‘Deaf and Dumb Institution’ on the 1841 OS map. The northwest course of the Roman road from Templeborough to Doncaster was identified on the 1854 OS map, with its course through the southeast of the buffer zone marked as a ‘foot road’ at that date. The latter section of the route was identified as part of the Roman road on the 1892 map. The 1854 map showed the 'Neatherd's House' towards the eastern edge of the buffer. A pump and a small disused gravel pit were shown to the west of the site in 1892, while a paddock was marked at the Bawtry Road/Leger Way junction in 1903. Houses had been constructed to the west part of the site by 1930, when a large area of excavation, possibly a quarry, was shown to the south of the site. Warehouses stood to the south of the site by 1938, with works to the southwest and a football pitch to the southeast in 1961. The latter had been removed by 1984. A school, a tip and part of Doncaster Airfield were marked within the buffer zone at that date. The Asda store and Doncaster Dome had been constructed to the east of the site by 1993.

Survival: The construction of the football ground, particularly the stands, is likely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance. Any drainage and under-pitch heating features may also have disturbed deposits within the area of the pitch, though it is unknown how extensive this is likely to be. The car park area to the north is likely to be relatively undisturbed, and nearby evaluations recorded some archaeological features, mainly dating to the late 19th and 20th centuries, though a small assemblage of medieval pottery was recovered. In general, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be low to moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with late 19th- to 20th-century activity are likely to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site occupied by Belle Vue stadium in 2002, with a car park and an open plot of hardstanding to the north and an embankment covered with scrub and trees to the south. By 2008, the majority of the stadium had been demolished, although the footings of the stands were visible and the former pitch was an area of rough grass and scrub. The stand footings were no longer visible in 2015, when the whole of this area was shown as either cleared ground or rough grass, with image quality being poor. Lidar data shows the area of the former stadium as earthen banks around the sides, with the level pitch visible in the centre. No other features are shown within the site. The Lidar may pre-date the 2015 aerial photograph, which showed the site as cleared, though the poor image quality of this aerial view means that it is difficult to be certain about the presence of any earthwork features.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site itself. One event is recorded within the buffer zone; a geophysical survey which covered two separate areas to the north and south of the site. Although cropmark features have been recorded within these areas no archaeological features were identified at either location in the geophysical survey. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a curved ditch of probable Iron Age to Roman date in the western area of the site, and further enclosures and field boundaries extending into the southern area of the buffer zone. A rectilinear enclosure is also recorded at the northern end of the buffer zone. The site is also recorded as located within the boundary of a 20th century airfield. Evidence of post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded in the southern part of the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the western half of the site as an artificial lake, created as part of the leisure and business development of the surrounding area in the mid 1990s. It should be noted that the lake is actually situated outside out the site boundary. The eastern end of the site is part of a private housing estate, constructed in the late 1990s. Prior to the construction of the housing estate and the lake, the site was occupied by fields with regular edges indicative of parliamentary enclosure, and was part of High Ellers Common prior to enclosure in 1779 by Parliamentary Award. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Additional character areas within the buffer zone include drained wetland, modern housing, a business park and educational sites. One area of Historic Landfill exists within the south-western half of the site and extends throughout the north- western and south-eastern areas of the buffer zone, named Sandy Lane and recorded from 1960-1971, though the site was part of an airfield at that date. No further information is given for this record. The site is currently located to the immediate west of a modern housing estate, with an artificial lake to the west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1854 the site was part of a group of regularly-shaped fields, with many of the boundaries marked as drains. To the south of the site these fields were collectively named High Ellers Carr, and to the north they were named North Field. By 1939 some of the field boundaries had been removed, particularly to the north of the site, and on the 1955 map all of the field boundaries within and to the north of the site had been removed from the map. At this time the site was located at the very southern end of a large blank area, known to be Doncaster Airport. The airport is thought to have been constructed in 1934 and is known to have been in use during WWII, although it is not labelled as an airport on OS maps until 1977. During the war the airport, which had a grass runway, housed a Ministry of Aircraft Production factory where Westland Lysander reconnaissance planes were built. The airport later reverted to a civilian aerodrome, until it was closed in 1992. There is no change on the site on the 1993 map. On the 1854 map, the area surrounding the site comprised straight and regular fields with a high proportion of the field boundaries marked as drainage. Childer’s Drain was aligned approximately north-south, to the west of the site. Short Lane was to the south of the site, with Hennings Lane to the east. The Great Northern Railway was already extant to the south of the site, aligned approximately east-west. By 1893 some field boundaries had been removed. By 1930, an additional branch of the Great Northern Railway (by this time named the London and North Eastern Railway) had been added, named Low Ellers Curve, to the south of the site. To the east of the site, the South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been constructed, aligned approximately north-south. Many of the field boundaries and drains had been removed to the north of the site on the 1938 map, with further removal of boundaries on the 1955 map, although the area is left as blank and unmarked on the maps. This is the area of Doncaster Airport. By 1972 a tip is marked to the northwest of the site; this appears to have been infilled by 1980. There were few changes on the 1993 OS map.

Survival: The site was fields in 1779, and by the 1930s the site was located on the south-eastern edge of Doncaster airport. Google Street View images from October 2015 indicate that the site has already been developed with housing. Further investigations: Given the recent development, no further archaeological investigations are likely to be required. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that the current site boundaries were established between 1993 and 2002, with the construction of the modern housing estate, lake and Lakeside Boulevard. Google Street View images from October 2015 indicate that the site has already been developed. No archaeological earthworks have been identified on the site within the available Lidar data.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three monuments are recorded in the buffer zone: the site of Stainforth Chapel; a timber-framed building; and the site of a dovecote. No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Three Grade listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone: Poplar House; Stainforth Bridge; and a timber- framed building. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow remains were recorded within the northwest edge of the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as semi-detached housing within the historic core of the medieval market town of Stainforth. The 1851 street plan is preserved in the present layout and comprises a complex network contained to the north by a town dike, a common feature of medieval town plans. The town's market place is retained within the plan as an open area to the west of the confluence of these streets. The town has seen much redevelopment of buildings since the 1970s, with some areas completely cleared and rebuilt although some older fabric survives. There is significant legibility of the medieval town plan form and vernacular elements. Character zones within the buffer include Drained Wetland; Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/ Private); Valley Floor Meadows; Agglomerated fields; Planned Estate (Social Housing); School; Villas/ Detached Housing; and Semi-Detached Housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site contained a number of buildings set around a yard at the time of the 1853 Ordnance Survey map. These were marked as the Fox Inn on the 1892 OS map. The buildings had extended over part of the earlier yards by 1932. No further changes were shown on OS maps produced between that date and 1984. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including Stainforth Bridge; the Stainforth and Keadby Canal; a Corporation Yard; West Hall; Water Lane; Field Lane; various houses, gardens and fields. The 1892 map marked the New Inn; the Black Swan Inn; a swing bridge; South Bank; Fleets; a Methodist Chapel; Central House; St. Matthew’s Church; and a Sunday School. Market Place and a housing estate had been built within the buffer by the time of the 1932 OS map. A church hall, a ‘Gospel Hall’, various clubs, a police station and further housing were shown in 1962 and a poultry packing station by 1984. Survival: Various buildings have stood within the site since at least 1853. The construction of the buildings may have impacted on any archaeological remains within their footprints, particularly where cellars/basements are present. The northern part of the site was occupied by the inn’s yard during the 19th century and is currently its car park. Archaeological deposits may not have been impacted in this area, and here the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Though this is only a small area, the site is within the historic core of Stainforth, suggesting that there is the potential for the recovery of medieval and post- medieval remains. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. This may need to include an assessment of the impact of development on the setting of the grade II listed timber-framed building opposite the site. Significance: Unknown. The Fox Inn building appears to be of minor local heritage value.
