Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Three findspots are recorded within the buffer, all prehistoric flints, with six flake tools and a barbed and tanged arrowhead found in fields to the northwest of the site and a leaf-shaped lance point or spearhead from a field to the south. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site, the southern part of the buffer and part of the northern buffer as an area of surveyed enclosure, created during the Parliamentary Enclosure of Conisbrough Common in 1858. Other character zones within the buffer comprise 20th-century private housing estates and a nursery/farm to the west and agglomerated fields to the northeast. Historic landfill data records a linear area of infill running through the southern side of the site, recorded as a disused railway cutting used for the disposal of inert, industrial, commercial and special waste. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as two fields in rough grass coverage. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the northern part of the site as fields, possibly enclosed from the High Field to the northwest, parts of which were still unenclosed at that date. The southern part of the site was within Conisbrough Common. The common had been enclosed into fields by 1892, one of which formed the site's current eastern boundary. By 1930, a substantial railway cutting had been constructed through the southern part of the site, for the LNER Gowdall and line, with the area to the north remaining fields. The western and part of the northern site boundaries had been established by that date, and the eastern end of the latter was present by 1962. The railway line was shown as disused in 1962, but the cutting was still extant in 1972; by 1987 it was shown as infilled with waste material. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows High Field to the north and west, with fields suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field to the immediate east and west of the site. Conisbrough Common was located to the south. By 1892, the common had been enclosed into relatively small, regular fields, with larger new enclosures within the High Field area. Common Road (now Crookhill Road) had been established to the west of the site by that date, and an unnamed lane leading into the fields was present to the south. By 1902, a building in a small enclosure was shown fronting onto the unnamed lane to the south of the site. This was labelled Barker's Cottage by 1930, when two small buildings were shown to its northeast, and Hollyhead Farm and an isolation hospital had been built to the east of the site, north of the new railway line. In 1962, large buildings, possibly greenhouses, were shown to the east of Hollyhead Farm, and a poultry farm had been established in the southern part of the buffer. The isolation hospital had been renamed 'Conisbrough Hospital (general)'. Housing had been built to the west of the hospital by 1987, and to the north by 1994. Survival: A disused and infilled railway cutting runs through the southern side of the site. This has been used for landfill, and is likely to have removed any buried archaeological deposits within its footprint. The northern part of the site has been cultivated, but appears otherwise undisturbed. The potential for encountering archaeological remains in the southern part of the site is negligible. In the northern part of the site, the potential is moderate. Prehistoric flints have been recorded within the buffer. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2003 shows the site as two fields, the larger western field divided into several sub- compartments with different crop regimes, mostly in cultivation apart from the southern strip (former railway line), which was covered with rough grass. The triangular eastern field was also in rough grass use. By 2007, the whole of the western field was covered with rough grass, apart from a few rows of trees or shrubs at the northwest end. There were no further changes within the site by 2017. Lidar shows an earthwork on the site of the infilled railway line, but no other clear features of likely archaeological origin.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, described as 'unidentifiable earthworks in the field to the north and west of the pinfold'. The description suggests the point (southeast of the pinfold) is misplaced, and should be in the field to the northwest of the site. The pinfold itself, immediately adjacent to the northeast corner of the site, is potentially medieval in date, though has been reconstructed. A further nine records and nine events are recorded within the southern half of the buffer, mostly grouped around the former hall site at the southeast edge. The latest hall at Barnburgh appears to have been of 16th- or 17th-century date, encased in stone and altered in the 18th to 19th centuries. This was demolished in the 1970s, though some outbuildings survive. Archaeological investigations on the site of the hall revealed the remains of earlier timber-framed buildings, thought to relate to a medieval manorial complex, as well as evidence for an enclosure of probable Roman date, with evidence for settlement and agriculture in the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. A Roman coin of 3rd century date was found in a field to the south of the site. St Peter's Church at the southern edge of the buffer has 15th-century elements, and contains the remains of medieval grave covers and an early medieval cross shaft. A building at Green Farm includes a 17th-century house and an earlier building at the south end, possibly medieval. The site of a 19th-century Methodist chapel is recorded at the southern side of the buffer. Five of the events within the buffer were associated with the investigations at the site of Barnburgh Hall, and included geophysical and earthwork surveys, building recording, evaluation and excavation. Four further events within the buffer were towards the south edge, and included a building recording at Green Farm and Ivy House, evaluation trenching adjacent to Ivy House and Plane Tree Farm, and a watching brief at School House. No archaeological deposits were encountered at School House, and only ridge and furrow earthworks at Plane Tree Farm. Undated features at Ivy House included a ditch, pits and a post-hole. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks are recorded within the site. There are thirteen listed buildings within the southern half of the buffer, one of which is grade I listed (the church of St Peter). The other buildings are grade II listed and include a medieval stone coffin within the church, a cottage and a public house, farmhouses and barns, an outhouse and garden walls at Barnburgh Hall, and the village pump. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded within the buffer to the immediate northwest, southwest and northeast of the site, the latter now built over. Post-medieval earthworks of uncertain origin, possibly garden or park features associated with Barnburgh Hall were recorded at the southeast edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and all the fields within the buffer as former open field enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1822, with a good survival of historic field boundaries. Other character zones within the buffer include mid- to late 20th-century housing to the east and southwest of the site, the historic core of Barnburgh to the south and the gardens of Barnburgh Hall to the southeast. Recent aerial imagery (2018) shows the site as a field in arable cultivation with hedged boundaries and a central tree. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of two fields, bounded on the east by Hickleton Road. The fields were long narrow plots to the rear of buildings fronting onto High Street. The central boundary appeared to have been partially removed by 1892, but was still visible as a line of trees. By 1901, the northern boundary had been removed and the site was part of a larger field. Between 1962 and 1973, a new dividing boundary was established through the centre of the site, mostly on the route of the hedge removed by 1892, with a single tree shown along it. This had been removed by 1985, when the existing northern boundary was first depicted. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows further narrow fields to the south and southwest, and larger fields to the northwest and northeast. Hickleton Road and Stables Lane were extant to the east and northeast. The pinfold was shown to the immediate east of the site's northeast corner. To the south was the historic core of Barnburgh,

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 6 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

clustered around High Street and the church, with Barnburgh Hall at the northeast edge of the village. Buildings fronting onto Barnburgh Lane at the southwest edge of the buffer included a Methodist Chapel. The 1892 map labelled Hickleton House to the southeast of the site. The 1948 map showed a row of new houses to the east of Hickleton Road, and by 1962 several detached houses had been built to the northeast of the site. Denser housing estates were present at the northeast and southwest edges of the buffer by 1973, and there had been further infill to the east and southwest of the site, and within the village, by 1985. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use from at least the mid-19th century. The level of sub-surface disturbance is likely to be minimal. The site is likely to have been fields during the medieval period, but its proximity to known Roman and medieval activity means that the potential for encountering buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. The tree within the centre of the site is likely to be a remnant of a former hedge boundary shown in the mid-19th century. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2018 shows the site as a field, with fenced and remnant hedge boundaries. The field was intermittently in grass coverage or arable usage, the latter possibly hay cultivation. A mature tree is located within the centre of the site. Lidar does not show any clear earthworks within the site or the immediately adjacent fields. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2017 & 2018. Lidar 2m DTM.

Barnburgh 04840 Romano-British Evaluation in 1991 recorded sections of Romano-British Y enclosure at ditches containing large quantities of cultural material, Barnburgh Hall implying the presence of a contemporary settlement within the immediate vicinity. Another evaluation in 1999 revealed a linear ditch containing 5 sherds of Roman pottery. In 2001 excavation revealed the presence of an enclosure with internal divisions along with pits and postholes containing Roman pottery. There was some evidence that occupation may have commenced in the 1st century AD (or even in the late Iron Age), though the vast majority of the pottery recovered dates to the 2nd century. Sub-divisions of the enclosure probably represent demarcation of different activity areas relating to occupation and farming. 04841 Earlier Medieval Evaluation in 1991 revealed traces of loose wall footings in Y ?Timber Framed association with 12th/13th century pottery sherds. The Building, Barnburgh footings may be foundations for a timber-framed building that Hall was a pre-cursor to the 13th/14th century and later buildings identified nearby (PIN 4842). Excavation in 1999 revealed earlier medieval activity (up to the 13th century) including a post hole structure and a number of ditches, pits and a possible well. The structure fits within the size range of known 14th century aisled halls but, as no evidence for external walls (beyond the post holes) was identified, the building may have been an ancillary structure to a hall sited elsewhere. 04842 Medieval Building Substantial wall footings were discovered during evaluation in Y

Complex 1991, in association with 13th/14th century pottery. On an (demolished), apparent northwest-southeast alignment, this building was Barnburgh Hall probably demolished immediately prior to the construction of the latest Barnburgh Hall (00379/01). During excavation in 1999 a medieval building complex was discovered comprising stone foundations, a possible well and cesspit, a ditch, gullies and pits. The building complex likely formed part of the medieval manorial complex at Barnburgh, either as an ancillary structure or as an element of the main hall. The complex was demolished in the late medieval/early post-medieval period for the construction of a new hall and dovecote. 04936 Site of Methodist Depicted on the 1854 OS map as a Wesleyan Chapel, on later Y Chapel, Barnburgh maps depicted as Primitive Methodist Chapel. Identified in desk-based assessment. ESY7 Geophysical Survey A resistivity and geomagnetic survey was carried out on land Y at Barnburgh Hall adjacent to the site of Barnburgh Hall, where a scheme of re- development was being considered. A pattern of intersecting high resistivity anomalies SE of the stables was postulated as being wall footings of a demolished building (with possible internal divisions visible). Further anomalies to the south and west of the hall may provide evidence for further archaeological remains. ESY8 Evaluation at Trial trenching carried out to investigate the site of the hall Y Barnburgh Hall and its grounds. Evidence for a late medieval origin for the hall was identified, along with earlier medieval pottery. Two Romano-British ditches were also recorded. ESY9 Geophysical survey A resistivity survey was carried out over an area of 1300 Y adjacent to square metres to the south and west of the Dovecote at Barnburgh Hall Barnburgh Hall. Several possible features were identified. ESY367 Archaeological In 2007 a photographic building survey recorded all the Y Evaluation and farmstead's standing buildings and particularly elements of the Building Recording pre-1839 farmstead.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site; however, one monument within the buffer just to the south of the site is described as 'unidentifiable earthworks in the field to the north and west of the pinfold'. The description suggests the point (southeast of the pinfold) is misplaced, and should be within the site. The pinfold itself, immediately adjacent to the southeast corner of the site, is potentially medieval in date, though has been reconstructed. A further five records and seven events are recorded within the southern half of the buffer. The latest hall at Barnburgh appears to have been of 16th- or 17th-century date, encased in stone and altered in the 18th to 19th centuries. This was demolished in the 1970s, though some outbuildings survive. Archaeological investigations on the site of the hall revealed the remains of earlier timber-framed buildings, thought to relate to a medieval manorial complex, as well as an enclosure with evidence for settlement and agricultural activities in the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. A Roman coin of 3rd century date was found in a field to the south of the site. The site of a 19th-century Methodist chapel is recorded at the southern side of the buffer. Four of the events within the buffer were associated with the investigations at the site of Barnburgh Hall, and included geophysical and earthwork surveys, building recording, evaluation and excavation. Three further events within the buffer were towards the south edge, and included a building recording at Ivy House, evaluation trenching adjacent to Ivy House and Plane Tree Farm, and a watching brief at School House. No archaeological deposits were encountered at School House, and only ridge and furrow earthworks at Plane Tree Farm. Undated features at Ivy House included a ditch, pits and a post-hole. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks are recorded within the site. There are six listed buildings within the southern half of the buffer, all grade II listed. These comprise Hickleton House farm and outbuildings, a barn and cowhouse at Plane Tree Farm, and the garden walls and gate piers at Barnburgh Hall. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded ridge and furrow earthworks within the site and in fields within the buffer, some now built over. These were plotted from mid- 20th-century photographs and it is unclear if earthworks survive within the site. Post-medieval earthworks of uncertain origin, possibly garden or park features associated with Barnburgh Hall were recorded at the eastern edge of the buffer, and two probable Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches at the northern edge. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and all the fields within the buffer as former open field enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1822, with a good survival of historic field boundaries. Other character zones within the buffer include mid- to late 20th-century housing to the east and southwest of the site, and the historic core of Barnburgh to the southeast. Recent aerial imagery (2018) shows the site as a field in arable cultivation with hedged boundaries. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a field with similar boundaries to the current layout. The eastern edge was bounded by Hickelton Road. Between 1892 and 1903, part of the field's southern boundary had been removed and it had been merged with a field to the southeast. Between 1962 and 1973, a new boundary had been added crossing the centre of the site on a northwest-southeast alignment. Another boundary had been added to the west by 1985, on the same alignment, and the present southern boundary had been established. The site comprised three small fields at that date. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows fields surrounding the site, with Hickleton Road and Stables Lane to the east and northeast. The pinfold was shown to the immediate south of the site's southeast corner. Further south was the historic core of Barnburgh, clustered around High Street, with Barnburgh Hall at the northeast edge of the village. A group of buildings fronting onto Barnburgh Lane at the southwest edge of the buffer included a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. The 1948 map showed a row of new houses to the east of Hickleton Road, and by 1962 several detached houses had been built to the northeast of the site. Denser housing estates were present at the northeast and southwest edges of the buffer by 1973, when Barnburgh Hall was no longer shown. There had

been further housing infill to the east and southwest of the site and within the village by 1985. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use from at least the mid-19th century. The level of sub-surface disturbance is likely to be minimal. The site is likely to have been part of a field during the medieval period, but its proximity to known Roman and medieval activity means that the potential for encountering buried archaeology is considered to be moderate.

04840 Romano-British Evaluation in 1991 recorded sections of Romano-British Y enclosure at ditches containing large quantities of cultural material, Barnburgh Hall implying the presence of a contemporary settlement within the immediate vicinity. Another evaluation in 1999 revealed a linear ditch containing 5 sherds of Roman pottery. In 2001 excavation revealed the presence of an enclosure with internal divisions along with pits and postholes containing Roman pottery. There was some evidence that occupation may have commenced in the 1st century AD (or even in the late Iron Age), though the vast majority of the pottery recovered dates to the 2nd century. Sub-divisions of the enclosure probably represent demarcation of different activity areas relating to occupation and farming. 04841 Earlier Medieval Evaluation in 1991 revealed traces of loose wall footings in Y ?Timber Framed association with 12th/13th century pottery sherds. The Building, Barnburgh footings may be foundations for a timber-framed building that Hall was a pre-cursor to the 13th/14th century and later buildings identified nearby (PIN 4842). Excavation in 1999 revealed earlier medieval activity (up to the 13th century) including a post hole structure and a number of ditches, pits and a possible well. The structure fits within the size range of known 14th century aisled halls but, as no evidence for external walls (beyond the post holes) was identified, the building may have been an ancillary structure to a hall sited elsewhere. 04842 Medieval Building Substantial wall footings were discovered during evaluation in Y Complex 1991, in association with 13th/14th century pottery. On an (demolished), apparent northwest-southeast alignment, this building was Barnburgh Hall probably demolished immediately prior to the construction of the latest Barnburgh Hall (00379/01). During excavation in 1999 a medieval building complex was discovered comprising stone foundations, a possible well and cesspit, a ditch, gullies and pits. The building complex likely formed part of the medieval manorial complex at Barnburgh, either as an ancillary structure or as an element of the main hall. The complex was demolished in the late medieval/early post-medieval period for the construction of a new hall and dovecote. 04936 Site of Methodist Depicted on 1st edition Ordnance Survey 1:10560 map (1854) Y Chapel, Barnburgh as Wesleyan Chapel, on later maps depicted as Primitive Methodist Chapel. Identified in desk-based assessment of 2008 for Plane Tree Farm, Barnburgh. ESY7 Geophysical Survey A resistivity and geomagnetic survey was carried out on land Y at Barnburgh Hall adjacent to the site of Barnburgh Hall, where a scheme of re- development was being considered. A pattern of intersecting high resistivity anomalies SE of the stables was postulated as being wall footings of a demolished building (with possible internal divisions visible). Further anomalies to the south and west of the hall may provide evidence for further archaeological remains. ESY8 Evaluation at Trial trenching carried out to investigate the site of the hall Y Barnburgh Hall and its grounds. Evidence for a late medieval origin for the hall was identified, along with earlier medieval pottery. Two Romano-British ditches were also recorded. ESY367 Archaeological In 2007 a photographic building survey recorded all the Y Evaluation and farmstead's standing buildings and particularly elements of the Building Recording pre-1839 farmstead. Evaluation revealed an undated early V- at Ivy House Farm shaped ditch, two pits, a gully and post-hole that lay beneath the historic farmyard.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. Ditched field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date were plotted at the western side of the buffer, and an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded at the northeast edge. Historic Environment Characterisation records the northern part of the site and northeast part of the buffer as a planned social housing estate of mid-20th-century date, whilst the southern half of the site and buffer are characterised as piecemeal enclosure on the former site of Bullcroft Colliery. The fields were established in the 1970s after the closure of the mine. Other character zones within the buffer include early 20th-century terraced houses to the northwest of the site and at the northeast edge of the buffer, a late 20th-century housing estate to the west, and enclosed drained wetland at the western edge. Recent aerial imagery shows the site as a square plot overgrown with trees and scrub vegetation, with a Nissen hut in the northwest corner. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a strip field, suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from former open field. The eastern boundary of the site was formed a field boundary. By 1930, the southern site boundary was shown as a dotted line, with allotment gardens labelled to the south, while the western boundary was a lane leading into the allotments from Ridgill Avenue. It is unclear if the site itself was part of the allotments at this date, or a vacant plot. The southern boundary was not shown in 1948. By 1961, a rectangular building or structure was shown within the northern part of the site. The southern boundary was depicted on the 1983 map. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows fields mostly indicative of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field, with Ings Lane extant to the west and Skellow Lane to the north. Allotment gardens were shown at the eastern edge of the buffer in 1906. By 1930, Bullcroft Main Colliery had been established outside the buffer, with railway sidings extending into the southeast edge. Terraced houses were shown along Ridgill Avenue to the immediate northwest of the site, and further housing was shown at the northeast edge of the buffer. Allotment gardens were shown to the south, east and northwest of the site. Spoil from the colliery extended into the southern part of the buffer by 1948, and the allotments south of the site were no longer shown. Detached houses had been built to the immediate north of the site by 1961, with further housing shown along Skellow Lane. By 1985, these appeared to have been demolished and rebuilt, with further housing constructed to the east and northeast of the site. A works was shown to the south, adjacent to or cut into the colliery spoil heap. The colliery had closed and all its infrastructure had been dismantled by 1985. Survival: The site was part of a field in the mid-19th century, and appears to have been relatively undisturbed by adjacent development and the colliery spoil tip. The conditions for the survival of archaeological features are considered to be moderate. Iron Age to Roman fields have been recorded as cropmarks to the west of the site, and there is the potential for similar remains to extend into the site. The archaeological potential is considered to be moderate. The Nissen hut may also be of some historic interest, as such buildings were often derived from nearby WWII military camps or barracks. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

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

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the site as an area of rough grass with an overgrown hedge on the eastern boundary. A probable Nissen hut was located at the northern side of the site. The site appears to have become progressively more overgrown by 2013, with shrubs or self-seeded trees across most of the area. The hut still appeared to be extant, though obscured, by 2018. To the south of the site, the colliery spoil heap was shown as landscaped and in grass coverage by 2002, with progressive tree growth across its northern edge by 2018. A new housing estate was built on former allotment gardens to the west of Ridgill Avenue by 2002. Street View does not offer a clear view of the site, but indicates that the Nissen hut has a brick facade and double wooden doors at its western end. Lidar shows the graded spoil heap to the south of the site, but no clear earthwork features within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. There are three monuments and four events within the southern part of the buffer. The monuments comprise late 18th-century cottages and a pinfold of probable early 19th-century date to the southeast and the site of a medieval chapel and hospital at the southern tip. The events include an evaluation at the Corner Garage site at the north end of High Street, which found remains of 19th-century coal cellars associated with former housing on the site. The other three events were all located at the southern tip of the site, and include a watching brief and research excavations at the site of the medieval chapel, which recovered inhumations associated with a contemporary cemetery, and trial trenching adjacent to Bawtry Hall that identified some medieval buried soils and postholes. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks are recorded within the site. Eight grade II listed buildings are recorded within the southeast part of the buffer, including the pinfold and 18th-century cottages, as well as a Masonic Hall incorporating remains of the medieval chapel, and houses on Top Street, High Street and Wharf Street. None are likely to be inter-visible with the site. The National Mapping Programme aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and most of the western part of the buffer as a series of mid-20th-century housing developments of detached and semi-detached houses, with partial legibility of strip enclosure boundaries in the layout of the development. Other character zones within the buffer include development within former burgage plots in the historic core of the town at the southeast side, a mid-20th- century social housing estate to the northwest, schools, a cemetery and nurseries at the northeast, and a late 20th-century housing estate to the east. Recent aerial imagery (2016) shows the site as a plot of rough grass between housing to the east, west and south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map does not show the site, which may have been within at that date. In 1886 it was part of a field to the west of Doncaster Road. The north, east and west boundaries of the site had been established by 1962, as the rear edges of gardens associated with new housing. A partial southern boundary was laid out by 1985. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed fields to the east of Doncaster Road, and development within the historic core of buffer to the southeast. A small row of buildings was depicted on the street frontage to the immediate east of the site. The 1886 map showed fields to the north, west and south of the site. St Mary Magdalene's church and associated almshouses were at the southern tip of the buffer. In 1893, a mortuary chapel and cemetery were shown at the northeast side of the buffer, with nurseries to the east of Doncaster Road. Occasional houses were shown along Doncaster Street by 1902, mostly quite dispersed. Housing was under construction to the north of the site in 1948, by which date the cemetery had been extended at the northeast side of the buffer. The buildings to the immediate east of the site had been demolished and replaced by a new house by 1962. This was labelled 'surgery' by 1985, when a bungalow was shown to the south of the site. Survival: The site was part of a field by at least the mid-19th century, possibly in arable cultivation, and became an area of rough grass by the mid-20th century. Lidar suggests that the site is at a higher level than housing on the Doncaster Road frontage. The extent of sub-surface disturbance is likely to be low. The site is outside the probable area of the medieval town, but Iron Age to Roman field systems and enclosures have been recorded to the west and northeast of the buffer, and the potential for encountering archaeological remains is considered to be low to moderate.

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

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2016 shows the site as an enclosure of rough grass and trees, largely surrounded by housing. Fewer trees were shown in 2016, when the site was predominantly rough grass. Lidar data suggests that the southern end is slightly lower than the rest of the area, which forms a platform. Street View indicates that the houses on the street frontage are also likely to be at a lower level than the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Two monuments and one event are recorded in the southern part of the buffer. The church of St Peter and St Paul is of 14th-century origin. A watching brief at Church Lane recorded the remains of a medieval building of possible 16th-century date and a ditch containing 13th- to 14th-century pottery. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site. One grade I listed building is recorded within the southern part of the buffer, the church of St Peter and St Paul. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project plotted a sub-rectangular enclosure within the northern part of the site, recorded as a cropmark. This was interpreted as being of Iron Age to Roman date, possibly with an entrance on the southwest side. Fragmentary cropmarks of probable field boundary ditches of uncertain date were recorded at the northern edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and much of the buffer as agglomerated fields, where boundary removal in the late 20th century has led to a reduction in the former character of fields enclosed in 1807 by Parliamentary Award from open fields and meadows. Other character zones within the southern part of the buffer largely comprise modern housing estates, and the church of St Peter and St Paul. Housing to the east of the church is on the site of a large later 19th-century maltings known as Manor Farm Kilns. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as a field in arable cultivation with hedged boundaries. The field is crossed by a footpath aligned northeast-southwest. A small group of buildings is located in the northwest corner, consisting of a modern bungalow and a shed of breezeblock construction. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as three fields, a large main field with a small semi-circular enclosure to the southeast and a small triangular enclosure at the northwest side, which contained a building. A footpath was shown running through the field on a roughly northeast to southwest alignment. The triangular enclosure and building were not depicted in 1893, and the enclosure to the southeast had also been incorporated into the main field by that date. No further changes were shown until 1983, when the bungalow Cuniegarth was shown at the northwest side of the site. This map does not cover the northern edge of the site, but the shed at the northwest edge was depicted in 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed fields to the east, southeast and west of the site, with the Great Northern and Midland Railway line running to the immediate north of the site on an east-west alignment. A station was located just to the northwest of the site, adjacent to Bramwith Lane, which was named Ings Lane at that date. In the southern part of the buffer was the historic core of Barnby Dun, including St Peter's Church to the southwest, and fairly dispersed farm buildings and houses to the south of the site. By 1893, the Manor Kilns maltings were show to the south of the site, with a works railway running northeast and looping around the site to join the main railway line. A further malthouse had been built adjacent to the main railway to the northeast of the site by 1905. Bramwith Station appeared to have been demolished by 1962, and the Manor Kilns and their works railway were shown as disused by 1970. Housing estates extended up to the southern edge of the site by 1983, when the maltings had been demolished and their site redeveloped. The malthouse building adjacent to the railway appeared to be still extant, used as a works. Survival: The majority of the site has been fields since at least the 19th century, and cultivation may have caused some truncation to below-ground deposits. Beneath the plough zone, the conditions for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be good. An enclosure of possible Iron Age to Roman date has been recorded as a cropmark within the site and the archaeological potential is considered to be high. The buildings at the northwest edge of the site are unlikely to have substantial sub-surface elements. There is a moderate to low potential for

the survival of remains of a building shown in this area in 1854. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains of Iron Age to Roman agricultural and settlement activity could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Remains of the building depicted in 1854 may be of Local archaeological significance, but the nature of this building is currently unclear.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as a field in arable cultivation, with hedged boundaries, bounded to the west by Bramwith Lane. There is a lane to the north, and an enclosure at the northeast side containing buildings. Street View shows these as a bungalow of modern appearance at the southern end of the enclosure, set within a garden and having a small garage to the immediate north. At the north side of the enclosure is a concrete-surfaced yard containing a shed/barn of breezeblock construction with a pitched, corrugated roof, and an open-fronted vehicle garage to the west. Modern housing is located to the south and southwest of the site. Lidar data does not show any earthworks of archaeological significance within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument and one event within the site. Both relate to an area of Iron Age to Romano- British settlement and field systems which intrudes into the very eastern edge of the site, identified through desk-based assessment and geophysical survey. Trial trenching was undertaken within part of this area (outside the site boundary), which identified evidence for field boundaries and settlement activity, including substantial quantities of pottery largely of a 2nd- to 3rd-century AD date, as well as few sherds of possible Iron Age pottery. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are recorded within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are within the buffer, the early 18th-century Town End Farmhouse to the immediate southeast of the site, and the early 19th-century Lock Cottages to the north. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow cultivation remains were plotted in the field to the east of the site from an aerial photograph taken in the 1940s. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and much of the eastern part of the buffer as agglomerated fields, where the removal of field boundaries in the later 20th century has led to a reduction in the former character of piecemeal enclosure from open field prior to 1825. Other character zones within the buffer include valley floor meadows to the north, a poultry packing station to the west, modern housing estate to the south and southeast, and the historic core of Stainforth to the southwest. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as a field, probably in arable cultivation, with hedges along the north and west boundaries and a small plantation to the north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an L-shaped field, bounded to the south as a drainage ditch and to the north by a small rectangular enclosure. The current eastern boundary was present and a small lane named Mid Croft Road was present along the southeast of the site. Mid Croft Road was no longer shown in 1893. No further changes were shown within the site by 1984. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows fields to the east, west and southeast, with the historic core of Stainforth to the southwest. A Methodist Chapel and more isolated buildings within garden plots were show just to the southwest of the site. The Stainforth and Canal, a railway line and the River Don were located to the north of the site, with Stainforth Locks, a canal basin and an old lock house depicted. The enclosure to the north of the site was shown as rough ground by 1893, and the railway line had been removed by that date. The barns associated with Town End Farm had been expanded by 1932, when allotment gardens and terraced housing were shown in the southeast part of the buffer. By 1962, some trees were shown in the enclosure to the north of the site, and further housing had been built at the southern edge of the buffer. A poultry packing station was shown in the field to the west of the site by 1984, with a factory to the south of the drainage ditch. Survival: The site has been a field since at least the 19th century, and cultivation may have caused some truncation to below-ground deposits. Beneath the plough zone, the conditions for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be good. Iron Age to Roman settlement and field systems have been recorded within fields to the immediate east of the site, and there is a high potential for these to extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. This may include an assessment of the impact of development on the setting of the adjacent grade II listed building.

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

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as a field, mainly in arable cultivation, though under pasture in 2008. A poultry packing station shown to the west of the site in 2002 had been demolished by 2009 and its site largely cleared. Town End farmhouse and barns are located to the immediate southeast of the site, within a grassed field. The site has hedged boundaries on the south and west side, and a small plantation to the north, with the eastern boundary differentiated only by a change in cultivation regimes. Lidar data shows slight, wide ridges aligned east-west across the site. It is unclear if these relate to plough-reduced ridge and furrow remains or more recent cultivation. No distinct ridge and furrow earthworks are visible in the field to the east of the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Lidar 2m DTM.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the southern part of the site. This is the site of Armthorpe Grange, a 17th- century manor house possibly on the site of a medieval grange of . One monument, one findspot and three events are within the buffer. The findspot is a Roman coin dated to AD 154, recovered as a surface find to the north of the site. A complex of Iron Age to Roman field systems, settlement enclosures and trackways is recorded at the western side of the buffer, immediately adjacent to the site. Two archaeological investigations have been conducted within this complex, a geophysical survey that recorded ditches corresponding with the cropmarks, and trial trenching that targeted two enclosures and recovered a substantial quantity of Roman pottery. At the southeast edge of the buffer, archaeological investigations in advance of development at West Moor Park recorded the remains of similar farmstead enclosures and field systems, revealing hearths or ovens, a well and cremation burials. The field systems seem to have originated in the Iron Age period and continued through the Roman period, with a mixed arable and pasture economy and evidence for coppicing and ironworking. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. One locally listed park is within the northern part of the buffer, immediately north of the site. This is a small park and formal gardens associated with Wyndthorpe, a grade II listed early 19th-century country house that lies outside the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation within the southeast edge of the site, extending into the buffer, plotted as earthworks from a photograph taken in 1946. Given the site's location, it is possible that these are drainage features rather than cultivation ridges. Within the western part of the buffer, extensive Iron Age to Roman fields, probable settlement and stock enclosures and trackways are recorded, extending up to the western edge of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the eastern half of the buffer as drained wetland, within the former West Moor, an area within a periglacial depression that was probably dominated by peat formation until enclosure, likely undertaken by Parliamentary Award in 1774. The drainage pattern preserves much of the character of the Parliamentary Enclosure fields. The western part of the buffer was formerly part of Long Sandall Common, on higher land to the west of West Moor, which was enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1785. Wyndthorpe Park is recorded in the northern part of the buffer, and a modern distribution centre is located to the southeast. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as up to twelve fields in arable cultivation, and a small plantation to the northwest of West Moor Farm. The boundaries appear to be largely defined by drainage ditches or by different cultivation regimes. A caravan site occupies a small strip at the southern corner of the site, and Green Lane Farm is within the northern corner. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site occupied by around 20 small, rectangular fields within an area known as West Moor. The southern edge of the site comprised narrow rectangular fields apparently on a different alignment, within an area labelled 'Lings'. Green Lane Farm was extant in the northern corner of the site, and an unnamed plantation was along the northeast edge. A small sand pit was shown in a field to the south of Green Lane Farm, and a shed to the west of Moor House (now West Moor Farm). An unnamed building in a triangular enclosure was shown towards the southern edge of the site, north of the Lings. The northeast side of the site was bounded by a lane named Brick Hill Carr and West Moor Road, and the northwest edge by Green Lane. A new plantation was shown the northwest of Moor House Farm by 1893, and the building at the southern side of the site had been demolished, its site also shown as a plantation. A drainage ditch shown but unnamed in 1854 was labelled 'Participent Drain' in 1893, and ran from south of Moor House Farm on a northwest-southeast alignment up to

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

the irregular plantation at the northern side of the site. This had been renamed West Moor Drain by 1962. The 'participent' name suggests it may have been associated with the 17th-century drainage scheme of 'Vermuyden and Participants'. Brick Hill Carr Road had been renamed Green Lane at that date, and the former Green Lane was un-named. The sandpit south of Green House was not depicted in 1893. Further areas of woodland or plantation had been established along the southwest boundary of the site by 1930, by which date some field boundaries had been removed within the site. By 1962, the northern plantation had been reduced in size, with the area north of the West Moor Drain reclaimed as a field. The southwest plantations had also been removed, apart from the triangular area on the site of the former building towards the south of the site. By 1981, a new road had been inserted through fields to the south of the site, creating the southern boundary. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed mostly fields, small enclosures within the former West Moor to the east and southeast, and larger enclosures within the former Long Sandall Common to the west, Lings to the southwest and Holme Wood Rands to the south. A plantation named Cozen Croft Wood was located to the west of the site, and Wyndthorpe Park to the north. A new road established through the southern part of the buffer was depicted in 1981, linking to the M18 to the east of the buffer. Survival: The site has been in arable cultivation since at least the mid-19th-century, probably enclosed in the late 18th century. Prior to this it was an area of wet common, likely to have been dominated by peat formation. The area is within a periglacial depression, and there are extensive cropmarks of Iron Age to Roman fields and enclosures on the higher ridge to the immediate west, including two trackways that appear to lead down to the wetland. Settlement has been recorded within some of these enclosures, and it is possible that the site was exploited for wetland resources and grazing during the Roman period. It is also likely to have provided useful resources for hunting and gathering raw materials during the prehistoric and medieval periods, as well as a location for prehistoric ritual activity. The former wetland nature suggests the site may also have a high potential for the preservation of waterlogged organic materials and palaeoenvironmental data, though this could have been impacted by drainage. The site of a 17th-century hall is recorded within the southern part of the site, demolished between 1854 and 1893. This is thought to be on or near the site of a medieval grange. The archaeological potential is considered to be moderate to high. Green Farm at the northern corner of the site was extant in 1854, and may be considered a heritage asset in its own right. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2017 shows the site as a group of up to twelve fields, in arable cultivation with different crop regimes. Some of the boundaries appear to be defined only by the changes in crops, whereas others are marked by drainage ditches and occasional hedges. West Moor Farm is located just outside the southeast edge of the site, with a plantation to the north within the site. Another irregular plantation is shown closer to the northern edge. Buildings associated with Green Lane Farm are within the northern tip of the site, and a caravan park is shown at the southern corner. A distribution centre was shown in the southeast edge of the buffer by 2002, with further buildings added by 2008. Lidar shows the ridge of higher ground to the immediate west of the site, on which all the cropmarks are located. Visible features within the site comprise drainage ditches and the base of the ridge at the very western edge. A slight curvilinear ridge within the western half of the site may be a former raised trackway/causeway, but could be a geological feature. It shows as a wide parchmark on the 2009 aerial image. There is an area of disturbed ground in the southern part of the site on the former location of Armthorpe Grange. The possible ridge and furrow recorded by the Magnesian Limestone mapping project at the southeast edge of the site is no longer visible as earthworks, though faint lines are shown as soil marks on the 2003 aerial image in this area.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One monument and three events are recorded within the buffer. The north and west parts of the buffer form part of the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, which is defined as an area where extensive remains of Roman pottery kilns have been recorded and which formed the focus of this important local industry. Geophysical survey and trial trenching at Gatehouse Lane immediately to the west of the site recorded a single post-medieval/modern boundary. The other events were also in the western part of the buffer, north of Hayfield Lane. The larger evaluation for the business park recorded one undated ditch, whilst no archaeological activity was recorded in a smaller evaluation just extending into the western edge of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. An extensive mid-20th-century sand and gravel extraction site was plotted in the northern part of the buffer, with a second site extending into the northwest edge recorded in the 1970s.. An area of post medieval ridge and furrow was recorded in the north buffer along with a field boundary of uncertain date. One area of historic landfill is recorded in the west of the buffer to the rear of Shakespeare’s Nurseries. One area of historic landfill is recorded at the northwest edge of the buffer, probably associated with the 1970s sand and gravel extraction. It is located to the rear of Shakespeare’s Nurseries. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the southern part of the buffer as part of Doncaster- Airport, constructed on land that had been part of the WWII RAF Airfield. In the mid-1950s, the site was upgraded to accommodate Vulcan bombers and storage of nuclear weapons. Prior to this, the site was part of the Finningley Hall estate, which may have originated as a medieval deer park, and comprised piecemeal enclosure. Other character areas within the buffer comprise sand and gravel extraction sites to the north and northwest, former barrack blocks associated with RAF Finningley to the west, mid-20th-century housing and a nursery to the northwest, modern woodland on a former sand and gravel extraction site to the northeast and agglomerated fields at the east. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as parts of two fields, with grass coverage apart from an area of trees or shrubs at the eastern end. At the southern edge there are two detached houses within the site, fronting onto Gate House Lane and Hayfield Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of three fields, bounded to the south and west by Gate House Lane. The northern site boundary was established by 1893, when a railway line was shown cutting through the fields. The site was shown as two fields by that date. By 1930, the eastern end of the site was shown as rough pasture with occasional trees. In 1956, the western half of the field was occupied by either a spoil heap or sand pit. The 1964 map does not show this feature, but at that date northern field was shows as covered by scrub, and a cut edge was shown at the southern boundary of the field, suggestive of ground lowering to the north. Avery Cottage with two associated outbuildings were shown in a triangular enclosure in the southern part of the site by that date. The house on Gate House Lane was depicted in 1985, when trees were only shown at the eastern end of the site. In 1993, a trackway was shown along the northern edge of the site, leading to a rectangular building against the northern boundary. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed a triangular plantation just to the south of the eastern end of the site, and further plantations to the east and northeast, including Mosham Wood. The majority of the buffer was fields. Gate House Lane and Hayfield Road were present within the buffer. By 1893, the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway line had been constructed along the northern boundary of the site. By 1902, a field just to the north of the site was shown as rough pasture, with Mosham Wood to its east and a smaller plantation to the north. A few trees were shown within the pasture by 1930, when a row of semi-detached houses had been built

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

at the northwest side of the buffer. Mosham Wood had been expanded eastwards by 1948, when a sand and gravel extraction pit was shown in the northern part of the buffer. This may have been WWII extraction, and was possibly already disused by that date as rough grass was shown within the pit. Finningley Airfield was first depicted on mapping in 1956, with no details of its layout shown. Extensive barrack blocks and servicemen's housing were shown to the west and south of the site in 1961, associated with RAF Finningley. Details of the airfield layout were also shown at that date. A sewage works was shown on the location of the former triangular plantation to the southeast of the site, and Mosham Wood had extended further to the north. Further extraction was shown to the east of Mosham Wood by 1968, but most of the wood appeared to have been removed by 1993, when an active sand and gravel pit was shown to the north of the site. Survival: The 1956 OS map shows a possible sand quarry or spoil heap within the main part of the site; this is not shown on any previous or later mapping or recorded by BritPits (BGS), though the area was shown as scrubland in 1964, which is often a sign of reclaimed former quarry land. Lidar appears to show faint signs of disturbance in the area of the feature shown in 1956, which seems to be slightly sunken in relation to the eastern edge and southern part of the site. Further investigations may clarify the presence of former extraction within the site. Two houses and associated outbuildings are present in the southern part of the site, which are likely to have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits within their immediate vicinity. On the basis of current information, the conditions for the survival of archaeological remains within the main part of the site are considered to be low to moderate, with the eastern edge being moderate. Evaluations at sites to the west revealed few features of archaeological interest. The archaeological potential is considered to be low to moderate, though if the site has been quarried, the potential will be largely negligible except at the eastern edge. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. This may include clarification of the extent of sand extraction within the site. Significance: Unknown. If the site has been quarried, the archaeological significance is likely to be negligible.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the site as predominantly two pasture fields, with an area of trees at the eastern end. Two detached houses were shown within the site, one in a garden enclosure fronting onto Gate House Lane at the southwest side of the site, the other (Avery House) fronting onto Hayfield Lane. This had a series of outbuildings in 2002, and an associated rectangular horse exercising enclosure to the east. Another outbuilding, possibly a barn, was at the northern edge of the site adjacent to the trees. A small sewage works was shown to the immediate southeast of the site. By 2008, the horse exercising enclosure appeared to be disused, and by 2015 it was visible only as a parch mark. Street View imagery from 2012 shows the Hayfield Lane house as quite a modern brick-built structure, with boarded windows and overgrown gardens, and an adjacent single-storey brick- built outbuilding. The Gate House Lane house is less visible from the road, but in 2018 it appeared to be still occupied, and also fairly modern in appearance. Lidar indicates that Avery House is constructed on a triangular platform of higher ground, with a cut edge along the southern boundary of the northern field. This field has a sub-oval area of lower, slightly uneven ground within the western half, aligned north-south, and is higher and smoother in the area of trees to the east and along the western side of the site. This could be associated with an infilled former quarry, but the evidence is not definitive and it could equally relate to the natural landform.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event covering part of the western side of the site and extending into the western buffer. Evaluation within this area included a geophysical survey and fieldwalking. The fieldwalking recovered a Neolithic arrowhead and two other struck flints, as well as post-medieval pottery that is likely to be associated with manuring of the fields. There is no mention of the geophysical survey results in the event record. Within the southern part of the buffer, a geophysical survey and trial trenching identified only post-medieval field drainage. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project plotted possible ridge and furrow or drainage features within the southernmost part of the site, and similar remains at the southeast, southwest and west sides of the buffer. A sand and gravel quarry was recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer in 1948. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, an area of medium to large sized regular fields, created through Parliamentary Enclosure in 1778, with no legibility of the former character of commons. The southwest edge of the buffer comprises areas of sand and gravel extraction, some active and some disused. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as ten fields in arable cultivation, with boundaries largely formed by drainage ditches but occasional remnant hedges. Ponds to the southeast and west are reclaimed sand and gravel quarries. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as eleven fields, the nine in the northern part all of a fairly similar squarish shape in a grid, whilst the two to the south were narrower. Boundaries of two of the fields at the western side of the site had been removed by 1992, but no other significant changes were shown within the site. Within the buffer, the 1886 OS map shows mainly fields of similar appearance to those within the site, with two small plantations, one to the east and one to the west of the site. Highwater Drain and Peat Carr Road ran along the eastern boundary of the site and Bank End Road along the south side. A square feature was shown in a field to the east of the south end of the site, surrounded by trees. This may have been a pond. Old Bank End farm was to the southeast of the site, with a small gravel pit shown south of Bank End Road. In 1956, a gravel washing plant was shown adjacent to the disused gravel pit, with active quarrying shown just outside the southwest edge of the buffer. In 1964, a further sand and gravel pit had extended into the southwest edge of the buffer, with scrubland to its south, and the plantation to the west of the site had been removed. The square feature to the southeast of the site was labelled pond at this date; in previous years it was shown as probably silted up and containing boggy vegetation. Peat Carr Road was labelled as a green lane. A sub-oval pond at the southeast edge of the buffer in 1992 is likely to have been a reclaimed gravel quarry, though there is no mapping between 1964 and 1992. Survival: The site has been fields from at least the mid-19th century, recently in arable cultivation. Below the plough zone, the conditions for the survival of archaeological deposits is considered to be good. Prehistoric flints have been recovered from the vicinity of the site. A ridge of slightly higher ground coinciding will alluvial sand and gravel deposits at the northwest edge of the site may have a higher potential for archaeological remains. The archaeological potential 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: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as fields in arable cultivation. The southern end of the site was shown as a single field by 2002, with the northern part of the site mainly retaining the grid pattern of square fields shown in 1854. A small square pond was shown in the central of the nine northern fields from 2002. Active sand and gravel quarrying was shown in the southwest part of the buffer at that date, and by 2003 probable quarrying was shown adjacent to the small pond to the southeast of the site. Both areas of quarrying had extended by 2004, and by 2008 ponds within former quarries were shown to the southeast and immediate west of the site. No quarrying was shown extending into the site on any of the available imagery. Lidar shows faint ridges aligned northeast-southwest in the southern field, but it is unclear whether this is post- medieval ridge and furrow or associated with modern cultivation. The small pond is visible in the central part of the site and field drains along the field boundaries, but no other clear features within the site. A slight ridge crossing the northwest field marks the southeast edge of alluvial sand and gravel superficial deposits. Quarry pits are clear to the west and southeast.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and buffer, and extending into the wider area. This indicates an area in which a substantial pottery manufacturing industry occurred in the Roman period. Numerous pottery kilns have been excavated within this broad area, with particular concentrations at Bessacarr, Blaxton, Cantley and Rossington Bridge. No kilns are known to have been recorded directly within the site or buffer. One event is recorded as just clipping the northeast corner of the buffer, comprising archaeological monitoring on the route of a water pipeline. No details of the results within the buffer are known, but probable Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches were recorded along the route adjacent to Kilham Farm, just to the north of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are located within the site. One grade II listed building is within the western side of the buffer, a pair of semi-detached pre-fab houses erected after the Second World War at Ellers Lane. These timber-framed and clad buildings were prefabricated in Sweden and shipped to in 1948. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project plotted an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation within the centre of the site, with furrows aligned north-south. Further ridge and furrow was plotted in the northwest part of the buffer, in an area now largely built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, an area of medium to large sized regular fields, created through Parliamentary Enclosure in 1778, with no legibility of the former character of Auckley Common. Character zones within the western third of the buffer comprise a variety of modern housing estates, with a sports ground at the northwest edge. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as a field in arable cultivation, with hedged boundaries. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of two fields, with a north-south aligned dividing line roughly down the centre. Auckley Common Road formed the northern boundary of the site. By 1893, the current southern boundary of the site had been established. No further changes were shown by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed mainly fields in an area named Auckley Common, with Long Moor Hill and Auckley Common Farm to the east of the site and fairly dispersed buildings within field or garden plots, to the west, forming the edge of the historic core of Auckley. In 1948 a sub-oval feature was shown in a field to the east of the site, labelled 'disused gravel pit' in 1961. The 1956 map showed some housing under construction in the western side of the buffer, shown as a small group of semi-detached and detached houses in 1961. By 1975, a housing estate had extended up to the western edge of the site and buildings were shown within the field to the east, labelled Fortlin Lodge Farm and surrounding the former gravel pit which was not depicted. Further housing had been built at the northwest side of the buffer by 1992. Survival: The site has been a field since at least the mid-19th century and has been cultivated in recent years, which may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits. Below the plough zone, the conditions for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be good. No recorded archaeology lies within the buffer, but Iron Age to Roman field ditches and pottery kilns have been recorded within the wider area. The archaeological potential 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: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as a single field. In 2008-2009 it was shown as grassed, but in 2002-2005 and 2015 it was under arable cultivation. The boundaries are hedged, and no features are shown within the site. Lidar does not show any earthworks of archaeological origin within the site. The ridge and furrow recorded within the centre of the site in the 1940s appears to have been plough-levelled. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, a field system of Iron Age to Roman date partly destroyed by the M18. Three events are recorded within the buffer. Archaeological investigations at West Moor Park at the western edge of the buffer recorded an area characterised by Iron Age to Roman field systems and small-scale settlement, revealing hearths or ovens, a well and cremation burials. The field systems seem to have originated in the Iron Age period and continued through the Roman period, with a mixed arable and pasture economy and evidence for coppicing and ironworking. A further evaluation within this area did not record any archaeological features, but was outside the area of known cropmarks. Evaluation and mitigation along the route of a pipeline also ran along the western side of the boundary, which recorded possible field ditches associated with the Iron Age to Roman landscape just outside the northern edge of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded a trackway aligned roughly east-west running through the site and into the western part of the buffer, with field boundaries branching off to the north and south. These features are likely to be part of the Iron Age to Roman agricultural landscape recorded to the west at West Moor. The extent of a late 20th-century sand and gravel pit is recorded in the southeast part of the buffer, south of Holme Wood Lane. Historic Environment Characterisation records the eastern part of the site and the northeast part of the buffer as drained wetland, formerly part of Huggin Carr, which was drained and enclosed in the 17th century as part of Vermuyden's drainage scheme for . The western part of the site and southern buffer is recorded as agglomerated fields, where removal of field boundaries has led to a reduction in the former character of drained wetland enclosed through Parliamentary Award in the late 18th century. The central part of the site is crossed by a trunk road leading to Junction 4 of the M18, which runs through the western part of the buffer. A modern sand and gravel quarry is recorded in the southeast part of the buffer, and a modern distribution centre is located at the western edge. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as two fields in arable cultivation, separated by a modern trunk road. The site is immediately southeast of Junction 4 of the M18. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of two fields in an area called Holme Wood, with the current east and northeast boundaries extant at that date. The southern boundary was Holme Wood Lane. A field boundary in the vicinity of the current western boundary of the site was also extant. A small oval sand pit was shown at the northeast edge of the site in 1962. The M18 had been established to the immediate west of the site by 1981, and it is likely that the trunk road running through the site was also extant by that date, but the site is not covered by the map. The site is show with its current layout by 1991, when the western and most of the northern field boundaries had been removed, with the M18 and trunk road forming the northern and eastern boundaries of the western field and the western boundary of the eastern part of the site. Within the buffer, the 1853 OS map shows buildings named Holme Wood to the immediate south of the site, and Holme Wood Farm possibly just outside the eastern edge of the buffer. The remaining area of the buffer was fields, mostly characteristic of surveyed enclosure, with a noticeable difference in the layout pattern between the fields to the south and north of the site indicative of different phases or schemes of enclosure. There were no significant changes in the buffer by 1930, when the only addition was a house called Greenlands to the east of the site, with a probable sandpit in a field to the north. By 1962, the area immediately east of the site was shown as a disused sandpit, surrounding the Greenlands house that survived as an island in the centre. The M18 had been constructed in the western part of the buffer by 1981, but the majority of the buffer is not shown on the map of that date. The 1991 map shows that both Holme Wood and Holme Wood Farm had been demolished and their sites formed part of a sand and gravel pit. The pit around Greenlands was not shown at that date.

Survival: The site has been fields since at least the mid-19th century, and probably since the late 18th century. There is likely to have been some disturbance within the site associated with construction of the M18 and the trunk road that runs through the centre, but there is some potential for the survival of features associated with the ridgeline trackway and field boundaries recorded as cropmarks within the site. These are likely to be of Iron Age to Roman date. The eastern site boundary may have originated as part of Vermuyden's 17th-century drainage scheme. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains of Iron Age to Roman field systems and dispersed settlement could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2017 shows the site as two arable fields divided by a modern trunk road leading to Junction 4 of the M18. The eastern boundary is a hedge. The southern boundary is formed by Holme Wood Lane, and sand and gravel quarrying is shown to the southeast. A distribution centre had been constructed at the western edge of the buffer by 2008. Lidar shows a ridge of higher ground running through the site, in comparison to the lower-lying land to the north. Comparison with the cropmark data indicates that a trackway of Iron Age to Roman date was plotted running along the top of this ridge.

Y Iron Age / Romano- British field system, Armthorpe ESY120 Archaeological A scheme of trial trenching, on land at West Moor Park Y evaluation at land comprised the excavation of 12 trenches. No evidence of any at West Moor Park, archaeological activity was identified, apart from modern field Armthorpe, boundaries and field drains. Although intermittent soil Doncaster stripping has taken place on this site over the years, it is not thought that the level of disturbance will have removed all trace of surviving archaeology. It is therefore believed that the negative results demonstrates that there was no archaeological remains on this site. ESY270 Archaeological Between 1999 and 2007 various archaeological investigations Y Investigations at have been conducted at West Moor Park and off Rands Lane in West Moor Park Armthorpe. The area is characterised by an agricultural and industrial Romano-British landscape of enclosures, 'brickwork plan' field systems, hearths, ovens/kilns, a well and cremations. This rural community was involved in livestock husbandry, cereal production, coppicing and ironworking. The origins of the landscape are likely to be late Iron Age in date but activity is concentrated in the 2nd to 4th centuries AD.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or the buffer. One event is recorded within the northern part of the buffer: geophysical survey and fieldwalking conducted along the route of a new road. The geophysical survey identified possible Iron Age/Romano-British field boundaries and enclosures along the route, though it is not know if any of these were within the buffer. Two flints were recovered from the fieldwalking exercise. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded earthwork evidence of post medieval ridge and furrow in the north of the buffer. This has been truncated by the M18 motorway. At the south edge of the buffer, a possible trackway and field ditch of probable Iron Age to Roman date were plotted. The site of Bankwood Lane Allotments, situated in the west of the buffer is recorded as an area of historic landfill, as is a small area within the Bankwood Lane industrial estate to the south. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and northern and western part of the buffer as agglomerated fields created when field boundaries were removed in the latter part of the 20th century. Partial evidence of former land divisions in the form of drainage is still present in the area. The eastern part of the buffer comprises an area of ancient woodland which may have formed part of a medieval deer park, and the south are Bankwood Industrial Estates, the largest of which is directly south of the site and may also have formed part of the deer park. A small pocket of allotments lies within the industrial estates, directly south of the site. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as an area of grassland bordered on the northern side by a disused mineral railway and to the south by hedgerow. Two electricity pylons are positioned within the site with cables running across the site from east to west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as four fields bordered to the south by Rossington Drain and to the north by a track/road. By 1930 the fields had been agglomerated into two larger fields and by 1968 two electricity pylons and overhead electricity cables had been installed running east to west across the site. In the buffer the 1854 OS map shows the Great Northern Railway Line to the east and a large wooded area named Park Wood and West End Wood in the south. The north of the buffer are more agglomerated fields and the historic course of the . By 1930 a mineral railway had been constructed at the northern edge of the site, sewage works are positioned in the southwest corner of the buffer, and by 1962 the area directly west of the site appears to be utilised by the nearby coal pit. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use and this may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. There may also have been some disturbance caused by construction of the railway line along the northern boundary. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Iron Age to Roman enclosures, field boundaries and trackways have been recorded to the south, and there is the potential for similar remains to extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2017 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as area of grassland/grazing land boarded to the north by the disused mineral railway and to the south by Rossington Drain. By 2002 a small area on the westered edge of the site had been concreted and one industrial/agricultural outbuilding had been erected. Two electricity pylons are present throughout with an electrical unit adjacent to the central pylon. The unit had been removed by 2014. By 1930 the original four fields had been agglomerated into two, splitting the site down the middle from north the south. LiDAR mapping shows evidence of this field boundary, and an earlier field boundary at the west end of the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two findspots, two monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer. The findspots are of a medieval or early post-medieval spur found at Gally Hill to the east and medieval pottery sherds at the southern edge. One monument is the route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster, which is thought to run along the eastern edge of the site, along the course of the Great North Road. Cropmarks to the west of the site probably indicate Iron Age to Roman fields and possible farmstead enclosures. Geophysical survey and evaluation at Gally Hills in the eastern part of the buffer recorded modern features including field drains, boundaries and quarrying, as well as two ditches of possible Iron Age date. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. One grade II listed milepost is located on the Great North Road, to the immediate east of the site. The National Mapping Programme aerial mapping project recorded the site of Bircotes Airfield extending into the western half of the site, as well as two fragmentary ditches of possible Iron Age to Roman date at the eastern edge. Further Iron Age to Roman ditches are recorded at the eastern and western sides of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western and northern parts of the buffer as agglomerated fields, where modern field boundary loss has led to a substantial reduction in the former character of piecemeal enclosure from open field in the western half of the site and enclosed common land in the eastern half. Bircotes airfield was located within this character zone in the Second World War, but this was disused by 1967 and few traces of it remain. Other character zones within the buffer include ancient woodland and further agglomerated fields in the northeast, and modern development in the southeast, including various types of housing and a depot. Recent aerial imagery shows the site as fields largely in arable cultivation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as an area of fields to the west of the Great North Road and north of Martin Lane. The 1956 map shows the western half of the site as an airfield, though no features are shown within it, whilst the eastern half was still shown as two fields, with no boundary along the western edge. The 1962 map shows details of the airfield, including a plane turning circle and a taxiing route running through the western part of the site. The airfield was shown as disused at that date. The 1992 map showed the majority of the site as part of a large, unenclosed field covering the extent of the airfield, which was no longer shown, and the eastern part as still divided into two fields. Within the buffer, the 1886 OS map shows fields to the north, south and west. The 1854 OS map shows Gally Hills gravel pit to the east of the Great North Road, with King's Wood to the northeast. Another small gravel pit was located in the buffer to the southeast of the site in 1886. No changes were shown within the buffer by 1922. By 1948, housing and a works building were shown at the southeast side of the buffer. Bircotes Airfield is not depicted on this map, presumably for security reasons, though it was established during the Second World War. The airfield was depicted on the 1956 map, with more details shown in 1962, when it was labelled as disused. Further housing was shown in the south and southeast part of the buffer by 1962, and possible allotment gardens to the southeast of the site. These had been replaced by a commercial vehicle depot by 1967, with a new depot building shown in 1985. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-18th century, with recent arable cultivation recorded, which may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Below the zone impacted by ploughing, the potential for the survival of buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. Cropmarks indicate that remains of features associated with the airfield are likely to survive in the western side of the site, and possible Iron Age

ditches have been recorded to the east. The likely route of a Roman road runs along the eastern edge of the site and Iron Age to Roman field systems have been recorded to the east and west. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Second World War airfield are likely to be considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Iron Age to Roman remains could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the eastern part of the site as within a single large field, and the western part divided into three fields. All appear to be in arable cultivation at that date. A former plane- turning circle/stand associated with the WWII Bircotes Airfield is within the southernmost field, showed as a separate grassed plot with some scrubby trees in 2002. In 2004, the former taxiing route of the airfield was visible as a parch mark running through the fields. By 2007, the westernmost fields had been combined and subdivided into a series of smaller rectangular plots with small features shown within them. By 2008, this was shows as three larger plots with internal subdivisions, each containing a small shed. These may be pig sties. The airfield parch marks were still visible in 2012. The western fields had been rearranged again by 2016, but still contained possible pig sties. The eastern field was still in arable use at that date. Lidar data shows the airfield features as slightly sunken earthworks. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2015 & 2016. Lidar 2m DTM.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Two monuments and one event are recorded within the southern part of the buffer. Within the south of the buffer is the site of a paper mill. West/Friars Mill ceased production between 1861 and 1871. The second monument, in the far east of the buffer, is 24 Pinfold Lane. It is an early 19th century two story building with hammer dressed stonework and a pantiled roof. The event comprised trial trenching on a site at Stoney Lane, Ashville. No deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance were recovered. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site. Within the buffer, the aforementioned 24 Pinfold Lane is a grade II listed building. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded one area of post-medieval ridge and furrow within northern part of the site, in an area since built over. Two areas of post- medieval ridge and furrow were recorded in the buffer, one in the northeast and one in the southwest. Historic Environment Characterisation records the western part of the site as a depot. The eastern part of the site and the majority of the north, south and west of the buffer is recorded as areas of strip fields. There is fragmentary legibility of the strip field boundaries which are being increasingly removed. The eastern part of the buffer comprises planned and private housing estates constructed in the 1940s and 1980s. A small area in the south of the buffer is Friary Farm, a vernacular complex incorporating the remains of the former Friars Mill. The most recent aerial mapping (2016) shows the west of the site as a tarmacked area in use as a depot with eight industrial buildings/workshops throughout the area and bordered to the west by a disused railway track. The eastern and far south of the site is formed of two agricultural fields bordered and divided by hedgerows. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts the site as part of two strip fields with a boundary running across the middle of the site, shown as a footpath on the 1894 map. The site remained the same until 1962 when works (presumably the depot) were shown in the northwest part of the site with four buildings, extended southwards by 1981. The eastern and far southern parts of the site remained in agricultural use. By 1981 the footpath running east-west across the middle of the site had been moved south to correspond with the southern edge of the depot. The 1854 OS map shows the buffer as strip fields on all sides. The fields directly surrounding the site were orientated east-west and Tickhill paper mill was present in the south of the buffer. By 1903 the mills were labelled ‘remains of’, and a small vineyard had been established in the north of the buffer. By 1929 the railway along the western edge of the site had been constructed and allotments had been established in the east. The 1962 OS map depicts the housing estate developments in the east of the buffer. Survival: The site was in agricultural use until the establishment of the depot on the western edge of the site in the late 1950s/early 1960s. It is likely that landscaping and construction of buildings on this part of the site have been heavily truncated and the archaeological potential of the area is considered to be low. The eastern and southern parts of the site have not been developed and the strip field boundaries survive in this area. The agricultural use of the site may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2016 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the former depot in the western part of the site in industrial use. At the south of the industrial site were three agricultural outbuildings and by 2007 the agricultural outbuildings had been demolished. The east and southern areas of the site remained in agricultural use throughout this period. No LiDAR imagery was available for the site or the buffer.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. One event is within the southeast part of the buffer, a fieldwalking exercise which recovered Roman pottery fragments. A subsequent excavation within a proposed extension of Lefarge quarry produced evidence for Romano-British activity in this area and a post medieval brick production site dating to the 17th to 18th centuries. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded earthworks within the site and northern part of the buffer which define 20th-century sand and gravel extraction pits. In the north and northeast of the buffer two areas of post medieval ridge and furrow were plotted and in the south of the buffer cropmark evidence of an Iron Age/Romano-British field boundary was observed. One small area of historic landfill is recorded in within the northern edge of the site at 42 Church Lane. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the northern part of the buffer as modern sand and gravel extraction pits, formerly enclosed agricultural land. The west and east of the buffer are made up of medium and large regular fields bounded by hedgerows and drainage ditches created through parliamentary enclosure in 1778. The south of the buffer is made up of agglomerated fields and the southwest comprises a modern private housing estate and an area of regenerated scrubland. There is no legibility of former land use throughout the site or buffer. Recent aerial mapping (2015) shows the site as an area of disused sand and gravel pits. The east of the site is covered with vegetation, and the west is mainly exposed brownfield. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as eight fields used for agriculture with an old gravel pit in the southeast corner. By 1956 the northern part of the site was being used as a sand and gravel pit, and the eastern area was defined as old gravel pits. The southern part of the site remained in agricultural use as three fields until the 1992 OS map which shows the whole of the site in use as a sand and gravel pit, with associated trackways and works buildings in the centre of the site. The 1886 OS map depicts the buffer as agglomerated fields and piecemeal enclosure. Along the southern boundary of the site was the Great Northern and Eastern Joint Railway line and Old Bank End house/farm was positioned just outside of the site in the northeast part of the buffer. The buffer remained largely unchanged until 1968 when construction of the housing estate in the southwest part of the buffer was first depicted, and by 1992 it appears in its current form. Survival: The site was in agricultural use until the 1950s when the northern part of the site was used for sand and gravel extraction. By the late 1980s/early 1990s the whole of the site apart from a small area in the southwest corner was being used for this purpose. Given the extensive quarrying on the site it is likely that any sub-surface deposits have been removed. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains on this site is therefore considered to be negligible, though there is a slight possibility that remains could survive within the southwest tip of the site, which is adjacent to a boundary ditch of possible Iron Age to Roman date recorded as a cropmark, though the alignment of the cropmark suggests that only a small fragment of the ditch would be present at the very southwest tip of the site. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: In general the archaeological significance of the site is Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2008 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as an area of sand and gravel quarrying. It seems that the eastern part of the site has not been in use for some time 2002 as it was covered with vegetation. The western part of the site was more recently in use, though there is no evidence of quarrying activity on the 2002 aerial imagery. By 2015 vegetation was present over the whole of the site. LiDAR imagery shows the extensive areas of quarrying within the site apart from a small triangle at the southwest corner.

A geophysical (fluxgate gradiometer) survey was carried out by ASWYAS in 2001 but no anomalies of probable archaeological origin were identified. Borehole and augur surveys in 2003 did not identify preserved organic sediments. Between January and April 2003 a number of evaluation trenches were excavated within a proposed extension of the Lefarge aggregates quarry. The results produced evidence for Romano activity in the northern sector of the site and a post-medieval brick production site of 17th to 18th century date.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site. Within the buffer there are 23 monuments and five events. A 18th- to 19th-century barn is located within the northwest side of the site within the grounds of Castle Farm Cottage on Castle Gate. Within the north of the buffer, directly north of the site is Tickhill Castle. Monuments within this area include the castle itself, an earlier medieval motte and bailey on the same location, a medieval fishpond, Queen Eleanor’s Chapel, Tickhill Castle House dating to the 17th century, and post medieval parade grounds. Further north, along Castle Court is an area of medieval/early post medieval open ground and a barn which forms part of Castle Folds Farm. In the northwest of the buffer, along West Gate are a post medieval stable and dovecote, a post medieval milestone and a medieval burgage plot. The western part of the buffer includes eight monuments around the site of Tickhill Dam and Dam Road. The mill and dam are listed as a monuments dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. Other monuments in this area include the 18th century Westgate House and associated farm buildings, the 18th century No.3 Dam Road with boat house and associated stables, an 18th century footbridge known as Rowlands Bridge, an early 19th century brick water mill in the yard of No.30 Dam Road, a post medieval rubbish pit and an industrial ornamental brick arch thought to have formed part of a footbridge over Paper Mill Dyke. In the southwest of the buffer is a medieval tannery, tanning pit and possible lime kiln and further south, on Lindrick Lane is the early 18th century Lindrick House shown on plans of the Sandbeck Estate in 1724. In the far eastern edge of the buffer is a post medieval fishpond and field boundary. Five events are recorded within the buffer. Building recording was conducted at Tickhill Castle ahead of consolidation works to the surviving masonry of the keep and a fireplace. In the east of the buffer, on the northern side of Dam Road a watching brief was undertake during the excavation of building foundations. The works revealed a post medieval rubbish pit which is listed as a monument. Archaeological building recording was undertaken at Sunnyside Cottage in the west of the buffer. Trial trenching and excavations at Sunnyside House recorded two phases of medieval activity, the first dating to the 13th to 14th centuries and the second dating to the 14th to 15th centuries. The second phase revealed eight clay lined tanning pits and a probable lime kiln along with cattle horn cores consistent with a tanning operation. No Scheduled Monuments are present within the site, but the Scheduled Monument of Tickhill Castle lies to the immediate north of the site boundary. Two grade II listed buildings lie within the northwest corner of the site, comprising Castle Farm Cottage and a barn to the south of the cottage. There are 19 listed buildings within the buffer. In addition to the buildings also listed as monuments above are Mill Farmhouse to the immediate west of the site, which forms part of the same complex as Castle Farm Cottage and barn within the site. A range of buildings, walls and railings along West Gate in the far northwest of the buffer are also listed. No registered parks and gardens are recorded within the site or the buffer. One locally listed park is located within the buffer, the grounds of Tickhill Castle House. These comprise landscaped gardens within and incorporating the remains of the Scheduled castle earthworks. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded the earthworks associated with Tickhill Castle in the north of the buffer. Two further areas of earthworks were recorded: one area of post medieval ridge and furrow in the southeast of the buffer and one in the southwest. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the buffer immediately east and west of the site as a residential farm complex known as Mill Farm and Castle Farm, a vernacular complex dated to the 18th and 19th century with 20th century additions. The area directly north of the site is the medieval Tickhill Castle fortified site, and further north again is the historic burgage core of Tickhill village. In the northeast are areas of piecemeal enclosure and in the south of the buffer are agglomerated fields with many of the original field boundaries only removed in the late 20th century. The immediate west of the site comprises Tickhill Mill and further west are areas of piecemeal enclosure and an area of industrial-modern detached housing.

The most recent aerial mapping (2016) shows the north and west of the site as 18th/19th century farmhouses and farm buildings. The southeast of the site comprises parts of two fields divided north-south by hedgerow. The south of the site has a covering of large trees and a triangular area in the central south of the site appears to be rough grazing land/scrubland. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the farm complex and associated buildings in the west of the site with three buildings in the north and small agricultural fields in the south. The 1893 OS map shows the site as part of Castle Farm with the buildings in the east and middle north of the site in the same positions as they are today. The building in the northeast of the site was orientated north-south but by 1967 the current east-west orientated stable building was depicted. The 1981 OS map labels the site as a stud farm and an electricity sub-station and gas governor had been installed along the north-south track which divides the two fields. The 1854 OS map depicts the buffer area as having changed very little to the present day. To the north of the site was Tickhill Castle, to the east and south were strip fields and to the west were buildings along Lindrick Lane. In the north and west of the buffer were Tickhill Mill and buildings along Dam Road and West Gate and the present day street layout was established by this point. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1853 with the field boundaries and buildings pre-dating the first OS map. It is likely that, due to building development in the west and north of the site, and ploughing in the southeast, some sub-surface features may have been truncated. However, the farm complex itself is of some antiquity containing two grade II listed buildings. The field boundaries of the existing plots in the southeast are remnants of strip field enclosure. Potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate and the site itself is of historic landscape significance. The site is immediately adjacent to a medieval castle, and there may be the potential for related remains to extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. This would include an assessment of the impact of development on the listed buildings within the site. Significance: The listed buildings are considered to be of Regional archaeological significance. The historic landscape character of the farm complex could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance. The significance of any buried remains within the site is currently unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2016 Google Earth aerial imagery showed no change in the position of buildings within the site. Tree coverage in the middle grassed plot in the south of the site was substantially cleared between 2009 and 2014. Between 2009 and 2014 the eastern grassed plot was split into two across the middle from east-west. LiDAR data does not show any features of archaeological interest within the site.

04681 Industrial Period An ornamental brick arch (SK 591 928) from the Tickhill. A Y Ornamental Arch, footbridge over Paper Mill Dyke was marked here on OS maps Paper Mill Dyke, from 1854 to 1956, but has now gone.The arch is on the south Tickhill side of the dyke and would have marked the entrance into the site (an open, grassed plot in the nineteenth century) from the footbridge). The arch is an ornamental, mock-Gothic structure made of rough quality handmade bricks, bonded with thin lime mortar. Some twentieth-century repair to original material at apex. Each face has cruciform reliefs in darker bricks. This, and its general resemblance to a church lych-gate, suggest a possible early- to mid-nineteenth-century date, as the site was owned by John Nettleship, a former church warden in 1848. 05069 Medieval tanning Medieval pottery associated with domestic activity was Y pits and other identified during an archaeological evaluation. Subsequent features, Tickhill mitigation identified the heavily truncated remains of 8 clay- lined tanning pits and a probable lime kiln dating to the 14th/15th centuries, along with slightly earlier ditches and a pit. A large proportion of animal remains comprised horn cores, indicative of tanning activity. An assemblage of medieval pottery was recovered. 05719 Pit containing post- A large pit observed during excavations for the foundations of Y medieval rubbish, a house on Dam Road in Tickhill; the fill contained pottery, Tickhill, Doncaster limestone fragments, animal bones and wine bottles of probable 18th century date. It may represent back-yard disposal of rubbish from a nearby coaching inn on West Gate. ESY302 Archaeological In November 2008 a programme of archaeological building Y Building Recording recording was undertaken at Sunnyside Cottage. The cottage at Sunnyside was a good surviving example of a small post-medieval Cottage, Lindrick agricultural building dating to early-mid 18th century. ESY1105 Sunnyside and Trial trenching that located medieval activity. Y Stonebridge House ESY1432 Excavations at Two areas of excavation carried out at Stonebridge House, Y Stonebridge House Sunnyside. Although the site was heavily truncated, two and Sunnyside, phases of medieval activity were identified. The first, dating to Tickhill the 13th/14th centuries, comprised several layers, two ditches and a pit. The second phase (14th/15th centuries) comprised eight clay-lined tanning pits and a probable limekiln. An assemblage of animal bines recovered contained a high number of cattle horn cores, consistent with a tanning operation. It appears that tanning may have been occurring in the 13th/14th centuries, but that the industry was scaled up in the 14th/15th centuries. An assemblage of medieval pottery was also recovered. ESY1518 Building Recording Scale drawing and photographic survey were undertaken Y at Tickhill Castle ahead of consolidation works to the surviving masonry of the keep and to a fireplace. Exact details and results unknown. ESY1635 Watching Brief at A watching brief was undertaken during excavation of Y Dam Road, Tickhill foundations for a dwelling on Dam Road, Tickhill. A large pit, filled with rubbish of probable 18th century date was observed.

Site assessment The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a small amount of ridge and furrow in the northeast and southwest corners of the buffer, thought to be of post-medieval date. One of these areas was truncated by the M18, the other has been built over. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the current character of the site and a section of the eastern part of the buffer as the Thorne Sewerage Works. These municipal sewage works were first depicted in 1950. There is no legibility of the former valley floor meadows, common or parliamentary enclosure in this area. The majority of the buffer, to the north and south west, is depicted as rough ground in 1775 and subsequently as drained/re-drained allotments after parliamentary enclosure. Most of the hedgerows have been removed and present boundaries are largely defined by 19th century drainage ditches. Adjacent to the site, in the south and east of the buffer runs the M18 motorway constructed in the late 1970s. The south eastern edge of the buffer comprises the Frontier Works at Thorne, a large factory building now in multiple occupancy as an industrial estate. There is no legibility of former common or enclosed land in these areas Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as an area of rough grass with a series of infilled rectangular features in the centre. It is bounded to the north by Land Ends Road and to the west by a sewage works. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map depicts the site as two rectangular fields bounded on the north by Land Ends Road and Brickholes Drain. The site was unchanged until 1932 when it was part of Thorne sewage works, with a settling tank and a series of sludge beds constructed within the western half of the site. By 1962 the sewage works had expanded into the eastern part of the site, with further tanks and sludge beds laid out. An access road entered the site from the north. By 1981 the northwest boundary had been removed and the sewage works extended into the area northwest of the site. By 2002 the sludge beds and slurry tanks wereno longer in use. Within the buffer, the 1853 OS map depicts the area as fields and drainage ditches. The area remained largely unchanged until the late 1970s when OS mapping showed the expansion of Thorne sewage works to the west of the site, and the construction of the M18 motorway to the east. A row of poultry houses had been constructed in a field at the southeast of the buffer. By 2002 the sewage works had been further expanded within the northwest of the buffer. Survival: The site has been part of Thorne sewage works from 1932, with sludge beds and settling tanks shown throughout the site. By 2002 this area was disused, and the sewage works remain in use to the northwest of the site. It is likely that any sub-surface deposits have been heavily truncated by the sewage works, and the archaeological potential is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2016 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as industrial waste ground bounded on the north, south and east by trees/hedgerow and the west by the former access road from the present sewage works. The footprint of the sludge beds visible on the 1962 OS map are still visible and the remains of a small site hut is present in the centre of the site. The raised area of the former filter tanks can be seen on the LiDAR mapping to the west of the sludge beds. Between 2009 and 2015 the traveller camp to the east of the site was expanded to the south.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One findspot, five monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. The findspot was of a Roman brooch, apparently found on the surface of the field to the immediate north of the site. A fragment of a medieval cross is incorporated in a wall at the northeast edge of the buffer. Three of the monuments relate to 18th- to 19th-century buildings on Northgate in the eastern part of the buffer, and remains of a post-medieval building and pottery of 17th-century date were found in trial trenching to the west of Northgate. The two events comprised a watching brief at the north edge of the buffer, which recorded a ditch and wall of possible medieval date, and building recording of listed 18th- century farm buildings on Northgate to the east of the site. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are located within the site. Seven grade II listed buildings are within the buffer, all on Northgate, including an 18th-century farmhouse and outbuildings, and 18th- to 19th-century houses. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. Areas of ridge and furrow cultivation were plotted in the field to the immediate north of the site, and at the northeast and northwest edges of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western side of the buffer as being part of an area of enclosed strip fields which is being eroded through continued loss of field boundaries. Several of the groups of strip fields have names, probably given at the time of consolidation of the furlongs, which persist today such as 'Hindley Closes' and 'Clay Croft Closes', with fragmentary legibility of the former landscape of open fields. The historic burgage core of Tickhill extends into the area to the immediate east of the site and the southeast part of the buffer, with modern housing estates to the south, southeast and northeast. The northeast edge of the buffer comprises agglomerated fields. Recent aerial imagery (2016) shows the site as a small rectangular pasture field with hedged boundaries, bounded to the east by Dadsley Road, to the west by Wilsic Road, and to the south by an unnamed lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a field with the current boundaries extant by that date. No changes were shown within the site by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows strip fields to the north. West and south of the site, with farm buildings to the east, between Back Lane (now Dadsley Lane) and Northgate. Other dispersed buildings within narrow garden or burgage plots are shown along this part of Northgate, with more densely grouped buildings to the southeast within the historic core of Tickhill. Back Lane, Wilsic Lane and the unnamed lane along the southern side of the site were all present at that date. In 1893, an old brick kiln was shown at the southeast edge of the buffer, behind buildings on Northgate. This was shown as 'old limekiln' in 1902. New semi-detached housing had been built to the southeast of the site by 1929, between Dadsley Road and Northgate, and a house was shown in the field to the south of the site in 1962. Further detached housing was shown to the south of this in 1981. Survival: The site is a pasture field within an area of strip fields probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion from medieval open field. The boundaries are unchanged from 1854. The field is likely to have had minimal disturbance and the conditions for the preservation of archaeological remains are good. A Roman coin has been recovered from the vicinity of the site, and a probable early medieval church is located within 600m the northeast of the site, suggesting the site is in the vicinity of the early medieval settlement of Dadsley. The archaeological potential is considered to be moderate.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2016 shows the site as a field, with hedged boundaries. No features are visible within the field, which appears fairly level, but the field to the north has traces of ridge and furrow. Housing estates are present to the south and southeast.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Two events are recorded in the northwest part of the buffer. One comprised geophysical survey, trial trenching and a watching brief within the Finningley/Doncaster airport area, which identified sparse evidence for medieval to post-medieval activity, including two undated drainage ditches. Trial trenching at Bury Farm at the northwest edge of the buffer recorded two undated linear gullies. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a modern distribution centre, created in an area previously subject to gravel extraction or storage. There is no legibility of former regular fields created through Parliamentary Enclosure of Finningley Common. Other character zones within the buffer comprise Doncaster-Sheffield Airport to the immediate west of the site, agglomerated fields to the northeast, an area of surviving Parliamentary Enclosure fields to the east, modern woodland on former gravel extraction sites to the south and mid-20th-century detached housing to the north. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows much of the site occupied by modern depot/warehouse style buildings, with areas of grassland to the west and northeast. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. Other than field boundaries, the only feature shown within the site at that date was a footpath, running roughly north-south through the central part of the site. A water pump was shown at the northern edge of the site, adjacent to the footpath, in 1899. No changes were shown within the site by 1956, but by 1962 a large disused sand quarry was shown crossing the majority of the site, with only the northeast corner excluded. By 1985, the quarry had been infilled or levelled, and two depot buildings constructed in the central part of the site, whilst the eastern end was shown as reinstated fields. A further building had been added to the west by 1992, and the field boundaries to the east removed. Within the buffer, the 1886 map showed fields, mainly with fairly straight sides. Old Bawtry Road was shown in the western part of the buffer. Allotment gardens were shown to the north of the west side of the site in 1899. By 1956, large gravel quarries were shown to the southeast of the site, mainly just outside the buffer, and Finningley Airfield was first depicted to the west, though it is known to have been in operation during WWII and is likely to have been left off mapping for security reasons. Several houses were under construction on the former allotment gardens to the north of the site. By 1962, the area to the immediate south of the site was shown as marsh, suggesting that this area had been quarried previously, though this is not depicted on any of the available maps. The steep edge of the quarry within the site continued north through and around gardens and the edge of fields, suggesting a larger area may have been quarried and reinstated by the time of this map. By 1985, Spen Close Plantation had been planted over the former quarry pits to the south of the site. Survival: Apart from a small area at the northeast edge, all of the site was within a sand quarry in the 1960s. Lidar shows a lowering of the ground levels within the site in comparison with the road to the north. Quarrying is likely to have removed any archaeological features or deposits within the site and the archaeological potential is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site occupied by a series of lightweight depot or warehouse buildings, with storage of goods shown around the buildings. The western edge of the site is a grassed field or lawn area, and the northeast part of the site is also part of a wider area of grassland. A rectangular building, possibly offices, is shown in the northwest part of the site, with associated parking. The site is surrounded by a substantial hedgerow. No significant changes to the layout of the site were shown between 2002 and 2015. Lidar shows the building platforms within the site, and slightly uneven ground in the grassed areas. The western edge of the site appears to be cut in and at a lower level than the adjacent road, suggestive of former quarrying within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three findspots and five events are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspots are all from the eastern part of the buffer, and include two finds of Roman and medieval pottery, and a Roman bracelet and pottery. These may have been found during quarrying activity and their findspots are recorded on OS mapping. The events include geophysical survey at Finningley Quarry in the eastern part of the buffer, which identified possible ridge and furrow cultivation, post-medieval field boundaries and field drains; and a watching brief at Croft Road where a pit was recorded containing Roman pottery. Geophysical survey, trial trenching and a watching brief at Finningley Airport to the west of the site identified sparse medieval to post-medieval remains and two undated drainage ditches. An evaluation at Manor Farm at the northern edge of the buffer recorded remains of 19th-century farm buildings, and evaluation at Bury Farm to the northwest identified two undated linear gullies. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site. One grade II listed building is located at the northwest edge of the buffer, the Old Rectory at Finningley. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer. The site comprises two parcels of land. Historic Environment Characterisation records the northern part of the site and northern edge of the buffer as within an area agglomerated fields created through progressive removal of field boundaries in the later part of the 20th century, with only partial legibility of the pre-1778 hedgerow boundaries. The southern part of the site is recorded as a distribution centre, first depicted in 1985, within an area subject to gravel extraction and storage in the 1960s. Other character zones within the buffer comprise Doncaster-Sheffield Airport to the immediate west of the site, an area of surviving Parliamentary Enclosure fields to the east, a sand and gravel quarry at the eastern edge, modern woodland on former gravel extraction sites to the south, mid-20th-century detached housing to the northwest and part of the historic core of Finningley to the north. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the majority of the site as fields of rough grass, crossed by footpaths, with the southwest edge containing two irregular ponds, grass and scrub vegetation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as fields, mostly with straight edges, though two narrower fields at the northwest side had slightly curving boundaries. A footpath ran through the northwest part of the site and continued southeast along the eastern boundary. The northern boundary was formed by a green lane. No changes were shown within the site by 1956. By 1962, all of the internal field boundaries within the site had been removed, and a sand quarry to the southwest extended into the southeast part of the site. A probable small quarry pit was shown within the southern strip of the site, and the area to the south of it appeared to have been quarried and infilled by 1962. A steep cut edge was shown along the northwest boundary of the site at that date, suggesting that it is possible that this area may also have been quarried and infilled at some point prior to 1962. By 1985, the site was shown with most of its current boundaries, though a drainage ditch or boundary crossed the southeast part of the site on a northwest-southeast alignment. The southern strip was shown as vacant land at that date. The drainage ditch was no longer shown in 1992. Within the buffer, the 1886 map shows mainly fields similar to those within the site. To the northwest of the site were farms and other buildings within the historic core of Finningley, and Bawtry Old Road ran through the western part of the buffer. Pickles Wood was present at the southeast edge of the buffer. Allotment gardens were shown in fields to the west of the northern end of the site by 1899. In 1956, houses were shown as under construction in the former allotment gardens, and substantial sand and gravel quarries were shown to the immediate east and southwest of the southeast part of the site. Finningley Airfield was also first depicted at this date, though it is known to have been in existence during WWII, and was probably not shown earlier for security

reasons. One of the quarries to the east of the site had been infilled by 1961. The A614 had been constructed in the eastern part of the buffer by that date. A substantial disused sand pit was shown in the area between the main part of the site and the southern strip by 1962, and further quarrying was shown to the south. The quarry to the west of the site had been infilled and a depot constructed within it by 1985. An area of woodland had been planted over the former quarry to the south of the site by that date. Survival: The extent of quarrying within the site is uncertain on the basis of historic map and Lidar evidence. Lidar and the 1962 OS map show a cut edge along the northwest edge of the site, with higher ground to the west, which suggests that ground levels have been lowered in this area. This may indicate that quarrying took place within the northwest part of the site between mapping surveys, or possibly in the WWII and post-war period when quarrying was not always depicted on OS mapping. The southeast part of the site has been partially impacted by quarrying shown in 1962, and the southern strip of the site also appears to have been quarried. In areas where quarrying has taken place, this will have destroyed or damaged any archaeological remains. In areas not affected by quarrying, the archaeological potential is considered to be moderate. Roman and medieval pottery and a Roman pit have been found close to the eastern side of the site and similar remains could be present within the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. This should include investigations into the extent of former quarrying across the site. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the majority of the site to be fields, with the northwest and southeast fields grassed, and the northeast field occupied by a series of smaller enclosures containing sheds, possibly pig sties. The southern strip of the site, south of a depot access lane, was grassed rough ground, including three irregular ponds that may be the remains of old sand and gravel quarries. The pig sties in the northeast field had been removed by 2003, and the field was reverting to a grassed field, with rough grass shown across the site by 2009. At least one of the ponds along the southern strip had been infilled or silted up by 2015. Lidar shows a drainage ditch around the east and south sides of the northeast field and the eastern side of the southeast field. A substantial cut-in edge is visible along the north and west sides of the northwest field, with higher ground to the west, which may indicate that this area has been quarried in the past. An earthwork bank or bund runs along the northern edge of the northeast field. The ground across the site is generally uneven, though it is unclear if this is natural or a result of human activity. The southern strip appears to include earthen bunds or spoil heaps and the sunken pond areas. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Seven monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. To the immediate north of the site, the monuments include a dovecote and a manor house, both of which are grade II listed, and St James Church, which is grade II* listed. The monuments to the east of the site include a medieval cottage, a medieval market cross (a Scheduled Monument) and two post- medieval farmhouses (one of which is grade II listed). The two events within the buffer are both archaeological watching briefs; at St James Church to the north of the site where disarticulated human bone was recorded within the churchyard, and at Maltkiln Farm to the east, where a 19th-century cellar was revealed. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer zone, the market cross (mentioned above), which is also a grade II listed buildings. There are 12 further listed buildings within the buffer, located to the north, east and southeast of the site. To the north, in addition to the manor house, dovecote and church mentioned above, are three Grade II listed gravestones associated with St James Church, and a Grade II listed war memorial. To the east is an old school house. To the southeast, in addition to the above-mentioned grade II listed farmhouse, are a milestone, a post-medieval farmhouse and associated gates, and a post-medieval house, all of which are grade II listed. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the south and east parts of the buffer as medieval to modern vernacular cottages. This character area contains limestone houses in the vernacular tradition dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, with some later infilling. Braithwell is an old settlement which is recorded as having a church and priest in the Domesday Book. Further character zones within the buffer include surveyed enclosure to the north and strip fields to the southwest, with partial legibility of the former open field landscape; the church to the north and a mix of detached and semi-detached housing to the north and northeast, with fragmentary legibility of the former parliamentary enclosures. Recent aerial imagery (2015) shows the site as a field containing mature trees, located between the manor and church to the north, and modern housing to the south and east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 SO map shows the site as a field or enclosure that extended further northeast than the current boundary, and was accessed via the lane between the Manor House and the Church. A boundary ran across the northeast side of the site on a diagonal angle, separating the northeast arm from the main enclosure. A further enclosure extended into the northwest side of the site containing indistinct features, possibly formal garden features, immediately south of the manor house. The 1893 map suggested this enclosure may have been a walled garden. Trees were shown within the main field, with more densely packed trees in the northeast arm, possibly an orchard. In 1929, a smaller rectangular enclosure was shown within the northern part of the main field. This was no longer depicted in 1962 and its nature is unclear. By 1985, the enclosure at the northwest side had been removed, apart from a fragment of its southern boundary. No further changes were shown by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the Manor House and church to the immediate north of the site and buildings within the historic core of Braithwell to the East. The area to the west and south comprised fields with sinuous boundaries indicative of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field, with more regular fields to the north of Micklebring Lane in the northern part of the buffer. By 1948, new housing was under construction along Doncaster Road at the northeast edge of the buffer, with further housing north of Micklebring Lane and in the southwest part of the buffer by 1962. Some new detached and infill housing was shown if the area to the east of the site by 1985.

Survival: The site is a pasture field surrounded by stone walls and containing mature trees. It is just to the south of the manor house and historic mapping suggests it was closely associated with the house, possibly part of a manorial complex. A probable formal or kitchen garden formerly occupied the northwest corner of the site, and the northeast side may have been part of an orchard. The site is within the historic core of Braithwell, and the archaeological potential is considered to be moderate to high. The historic association of the field with the manor house to the north suggests it has a high historic landscape value. It also forms part of the setting of grade I and grade II* listed buildings. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. This may include an assessment of the impact of development on the setting of listed buildings and the historic landscape character of the village. Significance: The significance of potential archaeological remains is unknown. The historic landscape could be considered to be of regional significance.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 1999-2015 shows the site as a single pasture field, containing a number of mature trees. One row of trees is on the line of a former boundary crossing the northeast part of the site, and trees in the western half may be on the line of the former possible garden enclosure in the northwest part of the site. The external boundaries of the site are mainly marked by stone walls. Street View suggests that the site slopes downwards from north to south, and that trees in the western part of the site are located within a hollow. There is no Lidar data for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. There are four monuments and one findspot within the buffer. The monuments are all within the north and northeast of the buffer and comprise the site of a Paper Mill with no visible remains, a post medieval to industrial period dovecote, the route of the Bawtry and Tinsley Trust turn pike road and an associated possible toll house dating to the industrial period. A findspot in the far northeast of the buffer records metal detector finds of coins, seals and personal ornaments thought to be Roman or medieval in date. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site. Three grade II listed buildings are within the buffer, one just north of the site, 137 Sunderland Street. On the western edge of the buffer are two more grade II listed buildings: 60 Sunderland Street and Sunderland Lodge. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two areas of post medieval ridge and furrow, one within the south eastern part of the site and across the buffer and a second in the south of the buffer. In the southwest part of the buffer an earthwork bank of possible medieval date was recorded orientated northeast-southwest. This feature is also visible in Lidar data. Its alignment would suggest that associated buried remains have the potential to continue into the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site, the southern and northeast parts of the bufferas piecemeal enclosure. There is fragmentary evidence of previous land divisions. The western buffer is recorded as private housing estates built between the 1960s and 1980s, with no legibility of previous land enclosure in these areas. The southwest part of the buffer comprises land enclosed by parliamentary award in the 19th century and in the east of the buffer is the site of Tickhill Paper Mill and an area of modern agricultural nurseries. Recent aerial mapping (2016) shows the site as part of three arable fields orientated north-south and divided by hedgerow. The site is bordered to the east by the A1(M) motorway and to the west by modern housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as divided into its current configuration with a thin strip field in the west of the site, part of a larger field in the east and the top portion of a larger field in the south. By 1922 the southerly north-south field boundary was defined as a drainage ditch. The site remained unchanged on the 1992 OS map. The 1854 OS map depicts the Bawtry and Tinsley Trust turn pike road running east-west across the north of the buffer with houses fronting onto the road in the west of the buffer. To the south, east and west were agricultural strip enclosures. By 1894 a gasworks had been constructed to the east of the site on the site of the former Paper Mill and the piecemeal enclosure in the south of the buffer was referred to as Acres. By 1962 the A1(M) motorway had been laid in the east of the buffer, buildings had been constructed directly north of the site along Sunderland Street (the former Bawtry and Tinsley Trust turnpike road) and the gasworks had been demolished, the site then in use as a garage. By 1992 a housing estate was present in the western buffer and a nursery had been established in the east. The south of the buffer remained fields. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1853 with the field boundaries and buildings pre-dating the first OS map. Agricultural use of the site may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits, and there may also be some disturbance at the eastern edge of the site caused by construction of the A1(M). The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing 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: The 2002 -2016 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as one field in the west and part of two larger fields in the south and east. They are divided and bordered on all sided by hedgerow. The fields were in arable use and remained unchanged throughout this period. The linear bank recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project in the south west of the buffer is visible on LiDAR imagery, however the post medieval ridge and furrow cannot be seen in the southeast corner of the site and has presumably been plough-levelled. A drainage ditch or stream runs through the site along the line of the north-south dividing boundary. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2016.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the western edge of the site, the location of a former fish pond with a sluice at the northeast end; however, historic mapping shows that this is actually located in the field to the immediately west of the site. One findspot and six monuments are recorded within the buffer. Two monuments are further fish pond sites, located to the west and northwest of the site, and a third is a former extension of the Paper Mill Dike running through the field to the west of the site. The surviving part of this dike forms the southern boundary of the site. Further monuments comprise a possible medieval bank and two field boundaries, all recorded as cropmarks, the former probably now under housing off Lumley Drive, and the location of a timber-framed building on Sunderland Street at the north end of the buffer. The building is thought to have been of 16th-century date but now demolished. The findspot was of a coin from the reign of Elizabeth I, dated 1595, found towards the north edge of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. One Scheduled Monument extends into the northwest edge of the buffer, the medieval Tickhill Castle. The former fish ponds in the area may originally have been associated with the castle. There are three grade II listed houses along Sunderland Street at the northern edge of the buffer. One locally listed park is recorded within the western tip of the buffer, comprising post-medieval gardens in the grounds of Tickhill Castle. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a sinuous earthwork bank in the eastern part of the site, running roughly in a diagonal line southwest from the northeast corner of the field. This was thought to be of medieval date. Two areas of earthwork ridge and furrow were recorded in the eastern part of the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the current character of the site and much of the southern, eastern and western buffer as piecemeal enclosure of unknown date, with few changes from the 1854 OS map. The character of the land prior to enclosure is unknown. Further character areas within the buffer include agglomerated fields to the southwest, a 19th-century farm complex and the medieval castle to the west, mid-to late 20th-century detached housing and a modern planned housing estate to the north, along with a group of 19th-century detached houses around Sunderland Street. The site of Tickhill Paper Mill extends into the northeast edge of the buffer, with Parliamentary Enclosure fields at the east and southeast edges. The most recent aerial imagery shows the site as five fields with hedged boundaries, in a mixture of arable and pasture usage. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as four fields forming part of Stocks Meadows, with some boundaries the same as at present. The Paper Mill Dike ran along the southern boundary, and another drainage ditch formed the western boundary. The site was unchanged by 1962. By 1983, the site was two fields, with part of the current northern boundary established by the creation of a housing estate to the north. In 1992, the current northern edge of the eastern field had been established, and the area to the west was a single field at that date. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map depicts a narrow, rectangular fish pond in the field to the immediate west of the site, with a sluice off the drainage ditch along the western edge of the site. To the west of the site was Tickhill Castle on the eastern edge of the historic settlement core of Tickhill. Housing was also shown along Sunderland Street at the northern edge of the buffer, with the remainder of the area being fields. The fish pond had been filled in by 1893. Other than gradual infilling along Sunderland Street, there were no substantial changes by 1956, but by 1962, the A1(M) had been constructed along the eastern edge of the buffer, and an estate of new housing had been constructed in the northeast area. By 1983, the Lumley Drive housing estate was shown to the immediate north of the site, which had extended further to the east by 1992.

Survival: The site has been in agricultural use and this may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate. A linear bank of uncertain origin has been recorded within the site as an earthwork and cropmark, and appears to have been levelled by ploughing since 1971. This could relate to a medieval boundary. The site is close to the medieval Tickhill Castle. The site is part of an area recorded in the Historic Environment Characterisation as largely unchanged since 1854, but detailed map analysis demonstrates that most of the current boundaries are modern, with the exception of the southern, eastern and western boundaries at the edge of the site and the western boundary of the eastern field. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002 and 2003 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as two fields, in arable use. By 2007, the large western field had been subdivided into four separate areas, though no physical boundaries were shown between them. The boundaries of the eastern field were formed by hedges and the Paper Mill Dike forms the southern boundary of the whole site. In 2008, the western field appears to have been laid out for show-jumping events, but by 2012, it was in arable use again, and small hedges or scrub boundaries were shown between the western fields. The linear bank recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project is visible within the eastern and one of the central fields on Google Earth imagery; it appears from the photographs to have been plough-levelled, but is shown as an earthwork on Lidar data. It does not relate to any field boundaries shown on the historic OS maps. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2012. Lidar 2m DTM.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two archaeological events and one monument within the site: geophysical survey and trial trenching at Huggin Lakes recorded Roman period enclosures, possibly part of a small ladder settlement (A. Lines pers. comm.), with evidence for small-scale ironworking, the remains of a kiln and pottery of 2nd- to 3rd-century AD date. The archaeological remains were confined to a spur of river terrace gravels, with no associated activity on the adjacent lacustrine clays, which would have been wetland at the time of the occupation. The enclosures were recommended for preservation in situ. Within the buffer, the SMR records two monuments: the partial remains of an undated field system to the northwest and the site of a Second World War heavy anti-aircraft battery to the south. Four events are recorded within the buffer, geophysical survey, archaeological evaluation and monitoring along the course of a pipeline route to the west of the site that recorded the partial undated field system; and geophysical survey and evaluation at Low Grounds Farm, Huggin Carr, at the northeast edge, which recorded two undated gullies and various features of natural origin. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded possible post-medieval ridge and furrow or drainage earthworks in the northwest part of the site, and the 1970s extent of a sand and gravel quarry within the southeast part. A sub-oval enclosure was recorded at the northeast edge of the buffer and a trackway with associated field boundaries at the southwest edge, all of which are likely to be of Iron Age to Roman date. Historic Environment Characterisation records three landscape character types within the site. The southeast part, south of Holme Wood Lane, is recorded as a sports ground (motorbike track) on the site of a former sand and gravel quarry. The central part of the site and much of the eastern part of the buffer is recorded as drained wetland, formerly part of Huggin Carr, which was drained and enclosed in the 17th century as part of Vermuyden's drainage scheme for Hatfield Chase. The northern part of the site and buffer are part of the former West Moor, a sub-circular periglacial depression that was formerly wetland, probably drained and enclosed by Parliamentary Award in the late 18th century. Prior to the drainage, this area is likely to have been dominated by peat formation. Despite the loss of hedged boundaries, the area still retains a strong geometric pattern produced by its drainage ditches. Other character zones within the buffer include an active sand and gravel quarry to the south, and the M18 junction 4 and trunk roads at the western edge. The southern edge of the buffer comprises agglomerated fields, where removal of field boundaries has led to a reduction in the former character of drained wetland enclosed through Parliamentary Award in the late 18th century. Historic landfill data records an infilled sand and gravel quarry in the southern part of the buffer, south of Holme Rands Lane. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the majority of the site as fields, particularly the central strip and western end. The southeast part of the site was rough ground, and an area at the northern side was shown as partially stripped of topsoil, and occupied by a probable motorbike track and parking areas. A small cluster of buildings were shown in the centre of the site, possibly a farm. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was fields at the time of the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Holme House was shown within the centre of the site, with West Moor Farm towards the northwest edge. Waterton Drain ran through the site on a northeast- southwest alignment, and the northern boundary was formed by Woodhouse Lane. Most of the fields were small and fairly regularly shaped. Holme Wood was located in the northeast part of the site and Holme Wood Lane ran along most of the southeast boundary, with the Dickon or Diggin Dike drain along the southeast boundary. Minor field boundary loss had occurred by 1891. West Moor Farm had been renamed Holme Wood Grange by 1930. A cluster of small buildings were shown to the southeast of Holme House on the 1956 OS map. These were shown as the works’ buildings of a disused sand extraction site in 1962. The sand pit covered a strip of the site to the

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

immediate north of Holme Wood Lane. All the internal field boundaries had been removed from the southeast part of the site and it was partially shown as rough ground. No active quarrying was shown within this area on the available maps, but an aerial photograph recorded the sand and gravel pit extending into this area by the 1970s, a period for which no mapping is available. The former sand pits had been infilled by 1986. No further changes were shown within the site on the 1993 OS map. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed Holme Wood and Holme Wood Farm to the south of Holme Wood Lane and Waterton Farm to the north of the site. Drainage ditches with the area included Dickon Dyke or Diggin Drain, Pilkington's and Rake Bank Drains, and Woodhouse Sewer. West Moor Road, Waterton Road and Rake Bank or Goose Carr Road were shown to the north. Buildings were shown at Greenlands to the north of Holme Wood Lane by 1930, with sand extraction works shown to the southeast in 1962. The M18 had been constructed along the northern boundary of the site by 1981, with Holmewood Mink Farm and Holmewood Piggeries marked on the 1986 OS map to the south of Holme House Farm, outside the site boundary. Survival: The majority of the site was fields in 1854 and much of the area has remained undeveloped since that time. Some disturbance at the western edge of the site may have occurred during the construction of the M18, and the northern area is likely to have been disturbed by recent construction of a motorbike track, but was subject to archaeological evaluation in advance of this development. A strip of the site to the north of Holme Wood Lane has been quarried, as has at least part of the southeast end of the site, which is likely to have removed any archaeological remains in this area. Remains of Iron Age to Roman farmsteads and field systems have been recorded within the eastern part of the site and its immediate vicinity, appearing to be confined to the ridge of river terrace gravels that runs through the southeast half of the site. Within archaeological evaluation, only remains of post-medieval to modern drainage and ploughing recorded on the adjacent lacustrine clays in the northwest half, within the former area of West Moor. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains in any remaining areas of river terrace gravels is considered to be high; however, much of this appears to have been quarried away. In clay and sand areas, the archaeological potential is considered to be low to moderate, though the potential for remains associated with prehistoric to medieval exploitation of wetland resources cannot be discounted. The clay may also have good conditions for the preservation of organic remains and palaeoenvironmental data. Further investigations: Part of the site has previously been subject to archaeological evaluation and the area now defined as a monument on the SMR may be a small ladder settlement of Roman date, of sufficient archaeological significance to be preserved in situ in a previous development scheme. No features of archaeological significance were observed in the evaluated area to the north of the monument, but there is a possibility that remains associated with the farmstead may extend into any undisturbed areas in the southwest and southeast parts of the site, in the area of the sand and gravel ridge. Further archaeological investigations are highly likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. A strip of the site along the north side of Holme Wood Lane and at the southeast side of the site have been quarried, and no further archaeological investigations are likely to be required in these areas. Significance: The Roman farmstead or ladder settlement previously recorded within the site is considered as being of Regional archaeological significance. Associated remains in the southwest part of the site could also be considered to be of up to Regional significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition. The archaeological significance in quarried areas is negligible.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: A 2002 aerial photograph shows that the majority of the site to the north of Holme Wood Lane as fields, mainly in arable cultivation. The southern part of Holme Wood had been felled by that date, while several field boundaries had been removed and features possibly associated with Holmewood Piggeries are visible to the west of Holme House Farm, which occupied the central part of the site. Aggregates were being stored in the latter area by the time of a 2008 aerial photograph. An extensive curvilinear track had been established within a field in the

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 3 of 5 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

northern part of the site by that date, whilst the 2015 aerial image shows stripped topsoil, a car park, access roads and several curvilinear tracks in this area by 2015, presumably part of a motorbike track. The northeast part of the site, was crossed by a rough track by 2015, with probable spoil storage heaps along the site boundary. Some cropmarks are visible in the western part of the site on the 2002 and 2009 photographs, probably associated with post-medieval field boundaries. Cropmarks are also visible in the area of the evaluated Iron Age to Roman enclosures recorded through evaluation at the northeast part of the site. The area of the site to the southeast of Holme Wood Lane was shown as a motorbike dirt track from 2002-2009. By 2015 the site had been levelled and was shown as rough grassland. Lidar data shows the former bike track in the southeast part of the site, and a natural ridge of ground within the southeast side of the main part of the site north of Holme Rands Lane. The depression of the former West Moor wetland is clear in the northwest half. A former post-medieval field boundary is visible as an earthwork ridge in the southwest field. The former quarry pits within the site have been infilled and levelled. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015 & 2017. Lidar 2m DTM.

In the south east of the application area a concentration of linear responses interpreted as ditches were detected, appearing to comprise an old field system or possible settlement area. Other evidence of past agricultural practices was detected in the form of old field boundaries, ploughing and field drains or possible ridge and furrow cultivation. A number of weak trends have also been identified, which may be of archaeological interest, but could equally have natural, agricultural or modern origins.

ESY643 Fluxgate A systematic gradiometer survey was carried out at several Y Gradiometer locations along the route of a proposed water pipeline. The Survey, Nutwell pipeline runs east of Doncaster, for some 21km. The route had Water Treatment been divided into sections by the client and four were Works, Doncaster investigated: Rossington Bridge, Finningley, Cantley and Pipeline Hatfield. These in turn were split into 6 areas for geophysical investigation. Responses thought to be archaeological in nature were found in areas within areas 3 and 6. Area 3 revealed several pit-type anomalies that are bounded by a former field-system/track. Within area 6 a number of former field systems have been identified. Ridge and furrow has also been found within two of the areas, while modern ploughing also visible throughout data sets. Field drains have been identified within some areas, the most elaborate within Area 6 where a herringbone pattern can be seen. ESY908 Archaeological A programme of trial trenching and archaeological monitoring Y Monitoring and was undertaken for Laing O'Rourke on behalf of Yorkshire Trial Trenching at Water Services Ltd between April and November 2006 along Doncaster Water the route of a new water pipeline to the east of Doncaster Pipeline, South South Yorkshire. Extensive cropmarks of field system and Yorkshire enclosures of probable Iron Age and Romano-British date have been identified throughout the area including in a number of areas adjacent to the new pipeline. Excavations at two sites along the route of the pipeline revealed ditches and trackways corresponding to recorded cropmarks of Iron Age to Romano- British period filed systems. Excavation of a third site at Kilham Farm close to the site of Romano British pottery kilns also revealed a number of ditches indicative of such field systems.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One event is recorded within the buffer; geophysical survey and fieldwalking conducted along the route of a new road. The geophysical survey identified possible Iron Age/Romano-British field boundaries and enclosures along the route, though it is not known whether any of these fell within the buffer. Two flints were recovered during the fieldwalking exercise. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded cropmark evidence of an Iron Age/Romano-British trackway, a rectilinear enclosure, field boundaries and a ditch of the same date within the southern half of the site. On the northern edge of the buffer, post medieval ridge and furrow was identified. One small area of historic landfill, Bankwood Lane, is present in the centre of the site. Two further areas, Rossington Dumpit site and Bankwood Lane Allotments are situated in the west of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as Bankwood Industrial Estate comprising a large food industry depot. Prior to this the area was known as West End Wood which may have formed part of a medieval deer park. The western part of the site is classified as former sewage works. The eastern part of the buffer comprises an area of ancient woodland which may also have formed part of the deer park and below that an area of allotments.The south is and west is formed of Bankwood Industrial Estate. Most of the 19th century enclosure boundaries are still present in this area in the form of hedgerows. The far south of the buffer is an area of social housing and directly north west of the site is defined as a small area of allotments. The northern part of the buffer is classified as agglomerated fields created when field boundaries were removed in the latter part of the 20th century. Partial evidence of former land divisions in the form of drainage is still present in the area. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as an area of concrete hardstanding with a small grassed area on the west. There are five industrial units on the western side of the site and the rest is used for parking and storage. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a wooded area named West End Wood bordered in the north by Rossington Drain, the eastern edge by a track and the south and western edges by hedgerow/trees. By 1930 a sewage works is in place on the western side of the site and by 1962 two areas of woodland, one in the west adjacent to the sewage works and one in the south have been cleared. The 1993 OS map shows the north western area of the site used as a depot with two industrial buildings in the west. In the buffer the 1854 OS map shows a large area of woodland running through the east of the buffer. The north, west and south of the site comprises enclosed strip fields, the southern area of which is known as Park Closes and Bank Wood Lane runs north-south down the western side of the buffer. By 1930 a social housing estate and adjacent allotment gardens have been developed in the south and a mineral railway line has been laid in the north of the buffer. Survival: The extent of subsoil disturbance associated with the creation of the depot yard is unclear. Topsoil is likely to have been stripped when the hardcore surface was laid, which could have impacted on the preservation of sub- surface deposits. The main part of the site was formerly ancient woodland, and tree roots are also likely to have caused some sub-surface disturbance. Across the main site, the potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be generally moderate. The exceptions are the northeast edge, where a pond was shown in 1993 and a small area in the centre which is recorded as historic landfill, though no map evidence for this has been found. Within the western edge of the site, the preservation is considered to be negligible to low, as this area was formerly part of a sewage works with sludge beds and filter beds, since infilled. The depot site largely preserves the boundary of the former West End Wood, retaining some legibility of the

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

historic landscape character of this area of ancient woodland. The only place where this boundary has been removed is at the western side. Cropmarks of a probable Iron Age to Roman enclosure and field boundaries have been recorded within the southern part of the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2017 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as an industrial area covered by concrete. By 2002 the sewage works had been demolished and replaced with an industrial unit, and four further industrial units were present in the western side of the site. The area of Iron Age/Romano-British cropmarks within the site had been concreted over by 2002. Lidar shows drainage ditches within the site and bunds around the north, east and south edges.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded earthwork evidence of post medieval ridge and furrow in the north of the buffer. This has been truncated by the M18 motorway. An area of earthworks marking the Rossington Colliery Spoil Heap was recorded in the west of the buffer. The site of Bankwood Lane Allotments, situated in the north west of the buffer is recorded as an area of historic landfill. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site, the south, east, and part of the north of the buffer as Bankwood Industrial Estate. A small pocket of allotments lies within the industrial estates, directly east of the site. In the far north and west is an area of agglomerated fields created when field boundaries were removed in the latter part of the 20th century. Partial evidence of former land divisions in the form of drainage is still present in the area. The west and south western part of the buffer is recorded as Rossington Main Colliery spoil heaps. Evidence of former land use is not present in these areas. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as an area of scrubland with a tarmacked road running NNW-SSW across the centre of the site and turning north eastwards at the northern end of the site. A number of small industrial buildings are present in the eastern half of the site. The western half of the site is scrubland with no buildings present. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a small wooded area known as Bank Wood. A track ran through the site on a northeast-southwest alignment. By 1980 the woodland had been cleared but no buildings were depicted within the site. The 1854 OS map shows the area surrounding the site as fields with the historic course of the River Torne in the north. In the far east and to the south were two areas of woodland known respectively as West End Wood and Pheasant Wood. By 1930 a mineral railway had been constructed in the north of the buffer and sewage works were positioned in the southeast of the buffer. By 1962 the area directly north of the site appeared to be utilised by the nearby coal pit and to the south of the site was depicted as allotment gardens. The 1980 OS map shows that Pheasant Wood in the southwest was being used for spoil dumping by the adjacent Rossington Colliery and the allotments to the south of the site had been expanded to the west. Survival: The site was historical within woodland, and tree roots may have caused some sub-surface disturbance. There has been some agricultural use in the western part of the site which may also have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Historic mapping does not suggest that use of adjacent land by Rossington Colliery has had an impact on the site itself. The eastern part of the site has undergone some small-scale development from 2002 onwards with the constriction of small industrial units. The conditions for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate on the western part and low on the eastern part of the site which has been impacted by the construction of industrial buildings. No archaeology is recorded within the buffer, but Iron Age to Roman fields and enclosures are present in the wider vicinity and there is the potential for such remains to extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

One findspot is recorded in the buffer zone: a 4th-century Roman coin found in a garden at the western edge. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a sub-oval ditched enclosure within the northern part of the site, and possible ditches or drainage features crossing it and adjacent. The enclosure is interpreted as being of prehistoric or Roman date. One of the ditches appears to correlate with a field boundary shown on 19th-century mapping. A large 20th-century sand and gravel extraction pit is recorded in the buffer, to the southeast of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southwest part of the buffer as drained wetland, enclosed in 1774 by Parliamentary Award. The area has seen a loss of hedged boundaries, but the drainage pattern preserves some of the character of the Parliamentary Enclosure landscape. Further character zones within the buffer zone comprise a modern sand and gravel quarry to the southeast and modern private housing to the north. The majority of the site is a field located to the south of High Street, Dunsville, and north of Warren Farm. A modern house and the Warren Farm access road are within the western part of the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as a part of two fields on the 1854 OS map, with the northern side bounded by the Doncaster and Thorne turnpike road. An access track to Warren Farm crossed the site, but the field boundaries were at a diagonal angle to those extant in the present day. The current western boundary had been established by 1930. The eastern boundary of the site was extant by 1948, and Warren House had been built at the western edge of the site by 1962, when the field boundary crossing the site had been removed. No further changes were shown within the site on the 1991 OS map. Within the buffer zone, the 1854 OS map showed Warren Farm and an area of woodland called Warren Holt to the south of the site, and the Park Lane turnpike road to the north of the site. The remainder of the buffer was fields, mainly in regular shapes suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure. A small group of buildings, possibly cottages, were shown in an enclosure to the northeast of the site by 1892, when some field boundaries in the area had been removed and the area at the eastern edge of the buffer was shown as rough ground or heath. Houses had been built to the north and northeast of the site by 1930, with areas of sand and gravel extraction also shown to the north. A building was also shown to the immediate east of the site, with no dividing boundary shown., though this had been enclosed in its own plot by 1948. At that date, further housing was shown to the east, west and northwest of the site, and sand and gravel extraction had extended to the northeast, with new pits shown to the east of the site. Warren Farm to the south had new barns east of the farmhouse by 1962. Some of the sand pits were disused by 1968. Further housing had been constructed in the northern part of the buffer by 1991, including a house between Warren House and the farm access track. Survival: The site was fields in 1854 and, with the exception of the two modern houses and the modern farm access road, has remained undeveloped since that time. Agricultural activity may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the zone impacted by ploughing, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be high. A sub-oval enclosure and ditches are recorded as cropmarks within the site, some features possibly of prehistoric to Roman date, and a Roman coin has been found within the buffer. The area below the current house at the west edge of the site is likely to have a low potential.

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: An enclosure of prehistoric to Roman date could be considered to be of Regional archaeological significance, depending on its nature, condition and extent of preservation.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as a field, grassed in 2002-2003 and in arable cultivation (possibly hay) from 2008-2015. A mid-20th-century house is within the western edge of the field, and an access track to Warren Farm runs through the western half.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any features within the site. Two monuments are recorded in the buffer zone, Romano- British artefacts found during trenching in Denaby Wood in the western area, and post-medieval mine shaft hollows to the southwest. No listed buildings, Scheduled Monuments or registered parks and gardens are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Earthworks associated with a 20th-century munitions factory were plotted in the buffer zone to the northwest of the site, and a group of coal mine shaft hollows to the northwest, west and southwest. Possible ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded within the eastern end of Denaby Wood. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as agglomerated fields produced through the loss of boundaries in the 20th century, with no legibility of former landscapes, whilst a small portion of the north part of the site falls within a modern industrial estate which developed after the closure of Denaby Main Colliery. An explosive works associated with the mine was within this zone from the late 19th to mid-20th century. Within the buffer, the landscape character includes Denaby Wood, possibly ancient woodland, to the west of the site, and an area of agglomerated fields created through clearance of part of the wood in the mid-20th century. To the south are further agglomerated fields with no legibility of the former enclosures, and 20th-century residential development is to the northeast. Recent aerial imagery (2018) shows the majority of the site as a field in arable cultivation, with an area of rough grass and scrub wood at the southeast end and a belt of trees along the southern edge. A narrow wooded area is at the north side of the site. 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. A single field boundary shown crossing the western part of the site on the 1841 Ordnance Survey map remained extant in 1854, when the site was shown as four fields. In 1892, a Flameless Explosives Works was shown in the northern part of the buffer, manufacturing ‘securite’ for use in mining. The testing range was shown as a narrow excavated gully within the northern part of the site that survives to the present. This appears likely to be an adit leading into a simulated mine level. Few of the 19th-century field boundaries remained within the site by 1967. Within the buffer zone, the track to the south of the site was shown on Jefferys’ 1771 map, with Denaby Wood to the west. A quarry was within the eastern part of the buffer zone in 1841, with Denaby Thicks woodland shown in this area in 1854. A plantation to the north of the site in 1854, later labelled Coalpit Plantation, may have been established to screen disused mine workings. Explosives magazines associated with the Flameless Explosives Works were shown within the plantation in 1892, with magazines, a reservoir and a works’ waggonway to the north. An air shaft in the southern part of the buffer is to the south of the adit within the site, and appears to be along the route of a test mine level for the works. The explosives factory was not shown on the 1930 OS map, when its site was depicted as fields, but it is likely that the works was deliberately left off public mapping, since the 1958 map showed many of the 1890s features in association with an un-named works. This was a munitions factory during the Second World War. The buildings were extant in 1972 but much of this area was cleared in the 1980s when an industrial park was constructed to the north. A housing estate was built in the northeast part of the buffer by 1994. Survival: Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance in the majority of the site, the conditions for survival of buried archaeological remains are considered to be good. No remains of earlier than post-medieval date have been recorded within the vicinity of the site, and the potential for encountering archaeological remains is considered

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

to be moderate. A linear gully possibly an adit associated with the former Flameless Explosives Company testing range remains extant but its condition is currently unknown. Mining remains are recorded to the north, west and south of the site, but currently no associated features are recorded within the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the explosives testing range could be considered to be of Local significance.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2018 show the site as an arable field, with the exception of an area of scrub woodland at the southeast end and the former adit for the Flameless Explosives Company testing range, which was heavily- wooded by 2002. A belt of trees runs along the southern boundary of the site. Buildings associated with a light industrial estate are located immediately to the north of the site. Lidar shows the adit at the northern end of the site, but no other earthworks of archaeological origin within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records three monuments, two findspots and one event within the site. One monument is Cusworth Park, a registered park that formed the landscaped grounds to Cusworth Hall. This occupied much of the site and continues into the buffer. The socketed stone base possibly for a medieval wayside cross is recorded towards the northern end of the park, and a postulated site of a deserted medieval village also lies within the park, though its location is uncertain and two potential sites are marked, in the northwest part of the site or at Richmond Hill in the eastern side. The findspots comprise pottery sherds of possible Iron Age date found towards the central- north area, and a medieval bronze buckle found with a metal detector at the northern end of the site. The event recorded within the site and buffer was archaeological investigations undertaken in advance of improvements to parkland features. A rock arch and the remains of a stone bridge associated with one of the lakes were recorded, both probably lying just outside the site boundary. A further three monuments, two findspots and four events are recorded within the buffer. Findspots include a Mesolithic flint core found near Cusworth Hall to the north of the site, and a Neolithic flint arrowhead found on the surface of a field to the southwest. The monuments include Cusworth Hall and stables to the northeast of the site, both listed buildings. The hall originated in the 1670s, with wings designed by James Paine added in 1740. The landscape park was added in the mid-18th century, with the designed estate extending into the surrounding fields in the early 19th century, as part of a hunting estate. Within the park in the western part of the buffer is a feature known as Castle Mound, designated as a Scheduled Monument. There is some confusion over this feature, as it has been stated that it was constructed as a parkland viewing platform and folly site in the 1760s, though the SMR also notes that the placename Castle Hill is recorded on a plan produced in 1716, pre-dating the park landscaping works. The Scheduled Monument listing describes it as a medieval motte castle, built in the 11th century. In the buffer to the northeast of the site is a cropmark site, plotted on the NMP as a group of fields and possible settlement enclosures of a probable Iron Age to Roman date, which extends into the site. Events recorded within the buffer were all associated with recording undertaken in advance of restoration work to Cusworth Hall and park, and included building recording of the hall and associated structures, trial trenching to the northeast of the park that recorded part of land drainage system of possible medieval date, and geophysical survey to the south of the hall that did not identify any archaeological remains. One grade II registered park is within the site and buffer, the landscape park associated with Cusworth Hall. Within the buffer there are two Scheduled Monuments, the Castle Mound motte mentioned above, and earthworks on the site of Cusworth shrunken medieval village, to the east of Cusworth Hall. There are six listed buildings within the buffer, including the grade I listed Cusworth Hall. The other buildings are grade II, and are all associated with the hall, comprising the stables and bothy, a bowling house and attached garden walls, a boathouse north of the Fish Pond, an entrance lodge to the north of the hall, and a keeper's cottage and kennels just to the northeast of the park. One locally listed park is within the site and buffer, the wider estate of Cusworth Hall. This includes enclosed fields and plantations that formed part of the hall's wider setting and the associated hunting estate created in the early 19th century, and extends beyond the area that is designated as a grade II registered park. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded areas of ridge and furrow cultivation within the site, covering much of the central, east and northern parts, and extending into the buffer. A trackway and fragmentary field boundary ditches of uncertain date are recorded in the central part of the site that lies to the south of Cusworth Hall. Iron Age to Roman field systems and a trackway are recorded in the eastern part of the site and continue north into the buffer. Possible settlement enclosures were plotted at the northern end of this cropmark system but are now mostly under housing. In the western part of the buffer, earthworks of the ditch or moat surrounding Castle Mound were plotted. Historic Environment Characterisation records much of the site as part of Cusworth Park. An area just to the south of the hall was shown on an estate map of 1719 as a park associated with the 17th-century hall, and had

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 7 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

been expanded to cover an area surrounding the current hall and extending westwards into the site by c.1745, some of which has now been converted back to agricultural use. A larger area covering the eastern, central and western sides of the site was brought into the park as part of the landscaping works of Richard Woods in the 1760s. Much of this area is now farmed as agglomerated fields. The southern end of the site is characterised as agglomerated fields, where loss of field boundaries in the mid-20th century led to reduction in the legibility of the former surveyed enclosure in an area known as Park Closes. Other character zones within the buffer include modern playing fields to the northeast, mid- to late 20th-century housing estates to the east, southeast and north, agglomerated fields to the west and northwest and a school to the southeast. One area of historic landfill is recorded in the southeast part of the buffer, an infilled former railway cutting adjacent to the site of Sprotbrough Foundry. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as two large arable fields, edged by hedges and plantations. A small circular plantation is within one of the fields at the western side of the site, and a linear plantation protrudes into the northern part of the site, both of which are presumably features associated with Cusworth Park. Cusworth Hall is located to the north of the site, within lawned grounds with plantations, and a system of linked designed lakes or ponds run along the northern boundary of the site. The A1(M) forms much of the western boundary of the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the northwest part of the site lying within Cusworth Deer Park, with no internal subdivision. This ran south from the south front of the hall to the upper fish pond, west to the Castle Mound and north to Back Lane. A footpath crossed the park from the hall, heading southeast roughly on the line of the linear plantation that extends into the site, with the pedestal of a stone cross marked to the south of the path. The linear plantation within the park is a surviving remnant of Crow Wood, shown as a larger oval area of woodland. The park was planted with scattered trees. The part of the site south of the fishponds and within the area of the registered park was divided into reasonably large fields, crossed by a footpath on a northeast-southwest alignment. Small limestone quarries were shown near the southern boundary in this area, and a Long Plantation ran along the southwest side of the parkland. To the south of the emparked area, the site was shown as relatively regular fields labelled Park Closes. A pump and small building were shown within one of the fields, the building labelled 'sheepfold' in 1894 and 'well' in 1906. At that date a further narrow rectangular building was shown at the southern boundary of the deer park area. Fields were shown within the eastern part of the site, labelled Richmond Hill. Several of the fields had slightly sinuous boundaries suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field. In 1894, a gravel pit was shown within the southwest part of the park, in the area of the current circular plantation. Most of the field boundaries in this area had been removed by this date, though lines of trees marked their former routes. This was also the case in the eastern part of the park. Some boundaries had also been removed in the part of the site to the south of the park. In 1956, Crow Wood was depicted as substantially reduced in size, and two possible fields had been enclosed within the deer park area, though the majority remained unchanged. Crow Wood was no longer labelled by 1961, but the remnant was shown as a spread of trees within the park. One of the enclosures within the park was labelled Cricket Ground at that date, with a small pavilion in the southwest corner. The well building in the southwest part of the site had been removed by that date, and the field boundaries had been altered, presumably as part of preparation for the construction of the A1(M). By 1980, the deer park had been subdivided, though some stands of trees were still shown within the site. Most of the current external boundaries of the site were extant by that date, the northern edge of the eastern part of the site formed by a footpath. The eastern and central parts of the site were shown as a single large enclosure by 1992, with three fields in the southwest part of the site, outside the registered park area, and the northwest part within the former deer park shown as three enclosures. A rectangular building was still shown at the southern boundary of the deer park area at that date. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Cusworth Hall to the north of the site, with associated buildings to the north, and the village of Cusworth to the northeast. A string of Fish Ponds ran within the valley to the south of the hall. Castle Mound was shown to the west of the site, with small limestone quarries and a gypsum plaster pit nearby. The Rein limestone quarry was shown to the northwest of the site, an a long linear plantation called Spring Rein ran along the western side of the park. By 1930, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell branch line had been constructed along the eastern side of the site, and a greyhound race course had been constructed at the northeast edge of the buffer. Housing estates were under construction at the eastern edge of the buffer by 1948. In 1956, a foundry was shown to the southeast of the site, with a school further to the south. The Doncaster Bypass (now A1(M)) was constructed through the western side of the park, along the site boundary between

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 3 of 7 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

1961 and 1965, separating the plantations and Castle Mound at the western edge from the main extent of parkland. A housing estate had been built in the northern part of the buffer by that date, with another built to the south of the site by 1980. Survival: The majority of the site forms part of the grade II registered park associated with Cusworth Hall, with the exception of the southwest side of the site which was part of fields named Park Closes in the mid-19th century. A small part of the site falls within the area of the wider Cusworth estate that is locally listed. The park forms an integral aspect of the setting of the grade I listed Cusworth Hall which lies just to the north. Most of the site is currently under arable cultivation, though it appears that this has only been the case since the late 20th century in the northwest part of the site, which was formerly the deer park. One linear plantation, a remnant of Crow Wood, and one mature tree on a planting mound survive within the deer park area. A stream or drainage channel running along the south side of the deer park feeds the ornamental ponds that survive to the north of the site. To the south of the stream is a circular plantation, on the site of a former small sand quarry. Remnants of the Long Plantation belt survive along the southwest boundary of the registered park area within the site. Ridge and furrow recorded within the site in the 1940s appears to have been plough levelled. In the eastern part of the park, cropmarks of Iron Age to Roman fields and trackways are distinct in recent aerial imagery, and cropmarks and lidar show a probable palaeochannel in the northwest part of the site, which has the potential to preserve the remains of waterlogged organic remains and palaeoenvironmental data. The site of a deserted medieval village is thought to lie somewhere within the site, though its location is uncertain. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations would be required if the site was brought forward for development. This would need to include an assessment of the impact of development on the grade II registered park and on the setting of the grade I listed Cusworth Hall. Significance: As a grade II registered park, the majority of the site could be considered to be of Regional archaeological significance; however, as it forms a substantial part of the setting of the grade I listed Cusworth Hall, it could equally be considered to be of National significance. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman fields and farmsteads could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance, whilst remains of a medieval village could be of up to National significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the site as four arable fields, the two northern fields divided by a footpath or track aligned roughly north-south, while the division between the southern two fields was mainly marked by a difference in crop regime. There is a narrow belt plantation at the southern end of the site, with a hedge along the southwest site boundary, and a hedge or belt screening plantation along the western boundary, adjacent to the A1(M). Hedges and trees also formed the boundary between the site and the lawned gardens around Cusworth Hall, and on the eastern boundary between the site and a cycle path/bridleway. There are housing estates to the south and east of the site, and playing fields to the northeast. A series of fish ponds run along the northern boundary between the site and parkland immediately around the hall, some within an area of woodland that runs between two parts of the site. In the 2002 image, clear cropmarks of the Iron Age to Roman fields recorded by the NMP are visible, including some further potential boundary features that were not plotted. The circular and linear plantations in the western half of the site were extant in 2002, as was a mature tree standing in the field towards the north end of the site. No major changes were shown to the layout of the site by 2018. The 2018 aerial image shows a possible palaeochannel crossing the northwest part of the site on an east-west alignment., within an area of features caused by periglacial frost cracking. This feature is also visible as a very slight earthwork on the Lidar data. Lidar also shows a circular mound under the mature tree that stands within the palaeochannel, probably a tree-planting mound associated with the park landscaping. The linear plantation to the southeast of this is on the side of slope or small cliff, with a possible stream or drainage ditch running through it, an extension to which is visible as a cropmark in 2018. A couple of probable old field boundaries or headlands are visible as linear earthworks within the central part of the site and correspond with the edges of areas of ridge

and furrow plotted by the NMP, though the cultivation ridges themselves appear to have been plough levelled. The circular plantation is also visible in the Lidar data. No clear earthwork features are visible in the eastern part of the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2017 & 2018. Lidar 1m & 2m DTM.

Good documentation for Woods' work survives including accounts of extensive earthmoving and detailed planting instructions. Woods' park was well wooded but few parkland plantings now remain, much of the park having been ploughed. The brick- & stone- walled kitchen gardens lie to the west of the Hall. Also present within the park is an 18th century boathouse of limestone rubble, as well as decorative fishponds. 02850/02 Cusworth Hall Stable block and bothy at Cusworth Hall, now used as a Y Stable Block, woodmans store. Rubble limestone stone slate roof; 2 storey Sprotbrough elongated range with outshots to rear.

Two gullies were uncovered and one may be Park part of a medieval land drainage system but this could not be confirmed due to lack of datable evidence. ESY447 Archaeological In July 2005 a programme of archaeological building recording Y Building Recording was undertaken at Cusworth Hall. at Cusworth Hall ESY528 Archaeological During Autumn 2003 a programme of archaeological Y Y Investigations investigation was undertaken within the Historic Park and within the Historic Garden surrounding Cusworth Hall. An archaeological Park and Garden watching brief within the yard to the north of the former surrounding stable examined a low curved platform built against one of the Cusworth Hall surrounding boundary walls. Excavation of a Rock Arch located in the north-east corner of the Upper Lake designed by Richard Woods in 1760-65 was investigated prior to dredging the lake. At the junction of the Middle and Lower lakes the remains of a stone bridge were recorded. ESY1646 Geophysical survey A geophysical survey was undertaken to attempt to locate a Y at Cusworth Hall, postulated ha-ha. No anomalies of probable archaeological South Yorkshire origin were identified.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two events within the site. The two events both cross the southern end of the site and extend into the buffer zone and comprise a geophysical survey and trial trenching at Woodhouse Lane, and archaeological monitoring and trial trenching on the route of a water pipeline. The geophysical survey indicated a number of anomalies probably caused by infilled ditches that roughly coincide with the location of cropmarks indentified on aerial photographs. The archaeological trial trenching and monitoring confirmed the presence of Iron Age/Roman field ditches and associated droveways, including features not visible on aerial photographs. The ditches are considered to form part of a regionally important agricultural landscape of fields and dispersed settlement, recorded as cropmarks and through fieldwork in the area to the east of Doncaster. Within the buffer zone, the SMR records 23 monuments and three events. The majority of monuments are clustered to the east of the site, and are mostly findspots of metal objects, probably recorded by metal detectorists. Dated finds comprise three Roman coins (two of which are possibly a single coin recorded twice), four medieval coins and a lead spindle whorl, and two post-medieval tokens. Undated finds from this area include two lead weights and an undated lead object, bronze buckles and an unclassified bronze object. Unclassified flint flake tools are likely to be of prehistoric date. The early 19th-century Lings Windmill is also located in the eastern part of the buffer. An early Bronze Age find is recorded to the southeast of the site, and a Neolithic flint was found to the southwest, close to a Roman pottery sherd. Just to the north of the site is a point marking the supposed location of the Battle of Hatfield Chase, around 663 AD, though the location is conjectural and dubious. Two of the events recorded in the buffer zone are the same as those described above, which also lie within the site boundary. The third event is an excavation at Lings Farm to the south of the site, where a large Iron Age or Roman compound was uncovered. This was enclosed by a single ditch and approached by a droveway. This site had been heavily impacted by ploughing. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer: the Lings Windmill to the northeast of the site, and a milepost on Doncaster Road to the northwest. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded extensive remains of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries, trackways and a possible round house within the site and buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as surveyed enclosure dating from the 1825 Parliamentary Award. The loss of boundaries since 1851 means that this land is now on the cusp of the modern 'agglomerated field' category; however, there remains significant legibility of its 1825 enclosure layout in the surviving boundaries. Within the buffer, to the east of the site, the landscape character is a mixture of modern housing and surveyed enclosure. To the east of the buffer, the land is mostly fields with some of the 1825 surveyed boundaries surviving in a fragmented state. To the south is a modern quarry, with modern housing to the north and west with no legibility of former landscape characteristics. The site currently comprises two fields and a plantation, bounded by roads on three sides: Doncaster Road, Lings Lane and Woodhouse Lane. The northern side is bounded by more fields, with a small waterworks and covered reservoir to the northwest. The fields within the site are separated by hedgerows. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as six fields, part of an area labelled The Lings on the former Hatfield Common. A small area of woodland present in the central north part of the site was labelled ‘Gravel Hole or Round Plantation’. A well at the junction of fields near the western side of the site was labelled ‘Draw Well’, but this was no longer present by 1892. There was little further change within the site through the 20th century. At some point between 1992 and 2002, most of the field boundaries were removed to leave two larger fields, though the plantation survives unchanged. The boundaries which remain can be traced on the 1854 map and likely relate to the 1825 enclosure of the area.

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 6 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

Within the buffer zone, by 1854 Doncaster Road, Lings Lane and Woodhouse Lane were already extant, although Woodhouse Lane was also labelled as Lings Lane, its name having been altered by 1892. Across the fields just to the north of the site, the 1854 map has a note locating the ‘Supposed site of a battle AD 633’. There was very little development in the area in 1854, with the exception of occasional buildings on the east side of Lings Lane, and Lings Farm, off Woodhouse Lane. To the southwest of the site a small area of woodland was labelled Lings Plantation. A windmill was marked to the northeast of the site off Lings Lane, this is now Grade II listed and was labelled as disused in 1962. By 1907, a gravel pit had been opened up to the southwest of the site, which had extended considerably by 1930. By this time, there was also housing on Broadway and some buildings had also appeared on Doncaster Road, which had developed further by 1948. The 1930 map showed a water tower and associated buildings had been constructed just to the north of the western end of the site, these had been extended by 1956. By 1984, the area between Doncaster Road and Coppice Lane was heavily developed with housing and the gravel pit to the south of Woodhouse Road had been further expanded. Survival: The site has been in arable cultivation since at least the mid-19th century, and this may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits; however, archaeological remains were located in evaluation and monitoring along the southern edge of the site, indicating that below the level impacted by ploughing, the potential for the survival of buried remains is high. Extensive cropmarks associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems, trackways and enclosures are recorded within the site, and the previous archaeological works indicate that buried remains of these features do survive. Further investigations: The southern part of the site has previously been subject to archaeological evaluation, excavation and monitoring. It is unclear whether the impact on archaeological remains in this area (event ESY255) has been fully mitigated or whether further fieldwork would be required. Areas to the west and north of this have not previously been subject to evaluation. Given the evidence for extensive buried archaeological remains on this site, further consideration of the impact of development on these would be required to establish whether there is capacity for development on this site. Significance: The Iron Age to Roman cropmarks within the site form part of a regionally important complex of field systems, trackways and dispersed settlement.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Google Earth imagery from 2002-2015 shows the site as two arable fields and a small patch of woodland. Field boundaries are mostly hedged. A waterworks complex is located just to the north of the west end of the site and an extensive sand and gravel quarry was shown in the buffer zone to the south of Woodhouse Lane in the 2000s, much of which is now flooded. Lidar data shows former quarrying within the plantation in the northern part of the site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015. Lidar 1m DTM.

ESY908 Archaeological Trial trenching and archaeological monitoring were Y Y Monitoring and undertaken in 2006 along the route of a new water pipeline. Trial Trenching at Excavations at two sites along the route revealed ditches and Doncaster Water trackways corresponding to recorded cropmarks of Iron Age to Pipeline, South Romano-British field systems. Excavation of a third site at Yorkshire Kilham Farm also revealed a number of field ditches. The ditches form part of a locally, if not regionally important complex of cropmarks in the area to the east of Doncaster. The excavations confirmed the cropmark features and identified features not visible from aerial photographs. Despite an almost complete absence of artefactual and environmental evidence from the features, excavations have provided an insight into the use and re-use of Iron Age and Romano-British field system in the region.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the site, one relating to the line of a possible Roman road observed as a linear cropmark, which runs on a north-south alignment through the site. The feature extends into the buffer zone to both the north and the south, although the exact function is unclear and it could equally be a pipeline. No remains associated with this feature appear to have been recorded during evaluation within the buffer to the immediate north of the site. At the southwest corner of the site is the location of a Royal Observer's monitoring post dating to the Cold War period. This survived in good condition in 2000, but had been badly vandalised by 2003. Within the buffer zone, six further monuments are recorded; an early Iron Age/Romano-British trackway has been recorded as a point to south of the site. The feature continues through the site and is recorded again as a point to the east of the site. The trackway forms part of an extensive landscape of Iron Age to Roman fields and dispersed farmstead enclosures, recorded as points to the south, southwest, east and northeast of the site. Two events within the buffer have investigated this landscape, including geophysical survey and trial trenching. To the south of the site, investigations recorded some remains of field boundaries and the trackway, though concluded that recent ploughing had truncated the archaeology. Further fields were recorded to the northeast, which appeared to have been used for a relatively short period. No settlement activity was found within the fields in this area. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. One locally listed park is within the southeast side of the buffer, part of Rossington Park. This was a landscaped private parkland created c.1773 for Rossington Hall, laid out on land that was formerly part of Rossington Common. The grounds are currently occupied by the Northern Racing College, and retain many of the parkland features. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded fields boundaries, at least one possible enclosure and a wide, sinuous trackway running across the site, all visible as cropmarks and of probable Iron Age to Roman date. The field boundaries are on a northeast-southwest alignment, and are crossed by the trackway which enters the site at Common Lane in the south and curves round heading northeast towards Church Field. A linear feature on a north-south alignment also crosses the site, with a ditch to either side. This has been interpreted as a Roman road, but it is also possible that it is a modern pipeline. Further field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Romano-British date are located within the buffer to the northeast, east, south and southwest, forming part of an extensive landscape of fields and dispersed settlement. Post-medieval ridge and furrow was plotted in a field to the west of the site, visible as cropmarks in the 1970s. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the eastern buffer as agglomerated fields, with fragmentary legibility of the former Church Field strip enclosures, mainly through the field name and (partial) external boundary. The northern and western parts of the buffer are characterised by modern housing, with no legibility of the former enclosed landscape. The south and southwest parts of the buffer are further agglomerated fields, and an area in the southeast corner of the buffer is private parkland of later 18th- to 19th-century date, associated with Rossington Hall. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as two fields in a triangular arrangement, both under arable cultivation and divided into two by a footpath. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the current external boundaries of the site, with Stripe Lane on the western edge, Common Lane at the south, and the Great Northern Railway line along the eastern edge. The site was crossed by Middle Lane, on the same route as a current footpath dividing the site. Internally, the site was divided into narrow strip fields, mainly with straight boundaries, in an area labelled Church Field. The railway cut across the field boundaries, creating some small triangular or irregular fields. A small rectangular plantation was located in the southwest corner of the site, named Church Field Plantation. Some of the field boundaries had been removed

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

in the vicinity of the railway line by 1892, to create larger fields. By 1948, the site comprised three fields, one to the north of Middle Lane, two and Church Field Plantation in the southern area. In 1961, the site was a single large field, with the plantation removed and Middle Lane no longer depicted, though a track was shown in the same location in 1976. The only change were shown by 1992 was the Royal Observer's monitoring post in the southwest corner of the site, shown as a small rectangular feature, but not labelled. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows fields surrounding the site, including further strip fields to the north, east and northwest, and larger fields to the south and southwest. Small plantations were shown at Stone Hills to the west of the site. The area in the southeast edge of the buffer was shown as parkland with plantations by 1892, and Hunster Grange had been built at the southwest corner of the buffer. By 1961, a housing estate had been built to the northwest of the site, and a water tower and a few cottages to the west along Stripe Road. The housing estate had extended southwards by 1976, when further housing was present in the northern part of the buffer. The housing to the west had extended further south over the site of Stone Hills Plantation by 1992. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century and recent ploughing is likely to have caused some truncation to sub-surface remains. This was noted in evaluations to the northeast and south of the site, but below the zone affected by ploughing, there is the potential for the survival of archaeological remains. Iron Age to Roman fields, enclosures and a trackway have been recorded across the site as cropmarks, as well as a linear feature that may be a Roman road. A Cold War monitoring post is extant in the southwest corner of the site, though this has been vandalised and its current condition is unknown. 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 fields, farmsteads and communications features, and the Cold War monitoring post could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2017 shows the site as two arable fields in a triangular shape, separated by a footpath that crosses the northern part of the site on an east-west alignment. The western side is bounded by Stripe Road, the eastern side by a railway line and the southern end by Common Lane. A small rectangular area of rough grass in the southwest corner marks the site of the Royal Observer Corps monitoring post. This is visible as an earthwork in Lidar data. No other clear earthwork features of archaeological origin are visible within the site. Another footpath runs along the eastern edge of the northern part of the site and crosses the northern tip to join Stripe Road. Some of the Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and curving trackway are visible on Google Earth imagery from 2002, 2009 & 2017, though none of the photographs were taken in ideal conditions for cropmarks.

The ventilation louvres are unusually small. The hatch was locked in 2000, but was subsequently forced open and is now detached. Internally there was slight fire damage in 2002 though much still remained in place including furniture, maps, papers, BPI mount, siren box, jerry can, tool board, post battery, clock, kettles, crockery & cutlery. Since 2002 the post has been badly damaged by fire and is strewn with rubbish. Little still remains in reasonable condition. The post was sold in 2003. ESY71 Excavation of Six trenches were excavated in an area containing possible Y cropmark features trackways and field boundaries identified from aerial at Rossington photography. The features were found to survive only partially, and didn't in all cases match well with the photos. It was concluded that agricultural activity since the 1970s may have removed some of these features. ESY346 Geophysical Survey In 1995 a geophysical survey was conducted at Stripe Road. Y and excavations, The survey identified a number of anomalies representing Stripe Road, linear ditch features as well as possible pit type features. The Rossington linear anomalies do not seem to correspond well with known cropmarks, which may be due to errors in plotting cropmarks

from aerial photographs. The pit features may relate to variations in the subsoil. Trial trench evaluation was undertaken to excavate features forming part of a Romano- British field system.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Two monuments are recorded in the buffer. These comprise a Roman vexillation fort in the northeast part of the buffer (also a Scheduled Monument), and to the north of the site, a possible Roman road visible as a cropmark, which could also be interpreted as a pipeline. One Scheduled Monument is within the buffer, the Roman fort to the northeast of the site. No listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, the cropmark ditches of Rossington Bridge Roman fort were plotted, as well as two parallel linear ditches aligned north-south, possibly a Roman road, to the west of the fort. Post- medieval ridge and furrow has also been recorded within the southwest, east and southeast parts of the buffer, mostly in areas that have been developed since the photographs were taken. Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as enclosed drained wetland, an area of large fields bounded by drainage ditches. The fields were probably created through the drainage improvement programmes of Vermuyden in the early 17th century from a wet common environment. Further character zones within the buffer mainly comprise modern private housing estates and an artificial lake in a former clay pit. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as a pasture field with hedged boundaries. Sheep Bridge Lane runs along the southern side. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a larger field, bounded to the south by Sheep Bridge Lane and to the north by a drainage ditch or stream. A spring was shown in the western part of the site in 1892, possibly with a small associated building. This was no longer depicted in 1902. The site was shown in its current form by 1980, with the northwest boundary formed by an enclosure around Torne Valley Farm. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows fields in the northern part, and Rossington Brick Works to the southwest of the site. Farm buildings or dispersed houses at the edge of Rossington's historic core were present in the southern part of the buffer, kennels in the southeast and Gelster Wood at the eastern edge. The canalised new route of the River Torne ran through the northwest edge of the buffer. In 1894, a pinfold was shown to the immediate east of the site, with a sheepwash on the eastern side of the road. The brickworks was no longer labelled at that date, and the former clay pit was shown as an artificial lake, surrounded by a plantation. One of the buildings in the southern part of the buffer was labelled as a smithy. The pinfold was no longer shown by 1962, when some new houses had been built in the southern part of the buffer. By 1976, Torne Valley Farm had been constructed to the west of the site, and a pumping station was located to the east, within the former area of the pinfold. Further housing had been built in the southern buffer by that date. No substantial changes were shown in 1992. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use from at least the mid-19th century, and has been in pasture use in recent years. The conditions for the survival of buried archaeology are considered to be good. A possible Roman road has been recorded to the north of the site and could continue into the site. A Roman fort is also in close proximity, and a spring was formerly recorded within the site. The archaeological potential is considered to be high. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Roman fort and road could be considered to be of Local to National archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2017 shows the site as a pasture field, surrounded by hedged boundaries. No changes were noted within the site during that period. Sheep Bridge Lane runs along the southern boundary, with fields to the north, a care home to the northwest and a small pumping station to the east. Lidar does not show any clear earthwork features within the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 & 2017. Street View 2016.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the northern part of the buffer, the suggested route of a Roman road is postulated to run along the approximate line of Florence Avenue and Littlemoor Lane. The route has not been confirmed by field evidence, and there is some scepticism about the presence of a Roman road in this area. It may in fact be a medieval/post medieval pack horse route. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the current character of the site as King Edwards School constructed in the early 20th century, now used as Doncaster Archives. The school was built on former gardens or allotments, in an area probably enclosed in piecemeal fashion from open fields. Within the buffer, areas directly surrounding the site are modern semi-detached housing in the north and east and late 19th-/early 20th-century terraced housing in the south. The northwest of the buffer is the site of a demolished early 20th century wagon works, with a modern school in the north and Westfield Park recreation ground in the east. Two larger school buildings and smaller ancillary buildings currently stand on the site. The site is covered for the most part with concrete with small patches of grass along the south western and eastern edges. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a series of linear allotments or market gardens running northeast to southwest. By 1903, an infant school had been constructed on the southeast half of the site, with the northern half shows as a small field. A second building had been constructed at the northwest side of the site by 1930, with ancillary buildings (possibly toilet blocks) along the northern and eastern edges of the site. The buildings were labelled School and Infant School. The southern building had been extended to the northwest by 1986, Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows mainly allotment gardens and fields, with St John's Nurseries to the southwest of the site. The road directly north of the site (now Florence Avenue) was named Fiddlers Lane. By 1893 some housing had begun to appear in the south and west of the buffer and by 1903 the allotments surrounding the site had been consolidated into larger fields. The 1930 OS map shows a large housing estate in the south and southwest parts of the buffer, with allotment gardens and parkland in the east and a wagon works in the north. By 1956 Bells Avenue directly north of the site and the row of houses directly east of the site had been constructed. Survival: The site was originally used for agriculture and has been used as a school since the early 20th century. Buildings have been constructed across the majority of the site which are likely to have damaged or disturbed any sub- surface deposits within the site. The archaeological potential is considered to be low. One of the school buildings dates to the beginning of the 20th century, and the complex may be considered a heritage asset in its own right. Further investigations: No further investigations of sub-surface archaeological remains are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development; however, an assessment of the significance of the buildings may be warranted. Significance: The significance of sub-surface archaeology is considered to be Negligible. The school buildings may be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Google Earth aerial imagery between 2002 and 2017 showed the earlier infants’ school building in the southeast of the site, the later larger school building in the west of the site and one ancillary building in the north. The smaller ancillary building present on the 1930 OS map has been demolished. The site is currently in use as the regional archive repository. LiDAR imagery does not show any features of archaeological potential. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 & 2017. Lidar 2m DTM.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site. One grade II listed building is located in the north of the buffer, the Church of St Peter. It was built between 1939 and 1942 and designed by Brundell and Faran of Doncaster. The church was built using proceeds from the sale of a Victorian church nearby and has a rich collection of old and contemporary fittings. No registered parks and gardens are located within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. Areas of post medieval ridge and furrow were recorded in the south and west of the buffer, much of which has been built over since the photographs were taken in the 1950s-60s. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as Mallard School, in use between 1972 and 2003. Prior to this the area comprised strip fields consolidated from open fields. Some of the field boundaries are preserved within the school boundary but the legibility of the former character is fragmentary. The far north, east and southeast parts of the buffer are a planned housing estate built in the 1930s/40s. In the north and western buffer is a private housing estate built in the mid-1980s. Legibility of the former agricultural landscape within the housing estates is invisible. A remnant of strip fields lies directly south of the site. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as a series of school buildings surrounded by grassland/lawns. The site is currently being used by the military. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site within the boundary of a rectangular field. The site remained in agricultural use until 1959 when the present buildings were constructed in the centre of the site, depicted on the OS map as Nightingale Primary School and playing field. It was during this time that Cedar Road to the south of the site was constructed. In 1964 the buildings were extended slightly to the northwest. Within the buffer the area was depicted as strip fields on the 1854 OS map with the Doncaster Road running east- west to the north of the site. By 1903 St Peter's rectory had been built directly north of the site, splitting the former field in two. The 1930 OS map depicts the construction of buildings along Barrel Lane and the planned housing estate in the east of the buffer. By 1959 residential buildings had been built up to the site boundary to the south and east, and by 1994 the site was surrounded by houses on all sides. Survival: The buildings within the site were constructed in the 1950s and remain within the centre of the site. The construction of the buildings is likely to have disturbed any archaeological remains within this area. The grassed area surrounding the buildings has not been developed. The use of the site for agriculture may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits and the conditions for the survival of sub-surface archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing are considered to be moderate. No archaeology is currently recorded within the buffer, so the nature of potential sub-surface remains is poorly understood. The archaeological potential is considered to be moderate to low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Arial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Google Earth aerial imagery between 2002 and 2014 showed the site as an L shaped construction of buildings surrounded by grassed areas of lawn with occasional trees. The buildings are one and two storeys in height and of mid-20th-century appearance. By 2015 a square enclosure had been constructed in the centre of the site, adjacent to the buildings and what appeared to be a pond had been constructed within the centre of the enclosure. Tanks are visible within the grounds and the site seems to be in use by the military. No archaeological features are visible on LiDAR data.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, and two monuments and one event within the buffer. The site and the north, east and south of the buffer form part of the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, which marks an area that formed the focus of the local Roman pottery industry. Within the north of the buffer is a findspot of an unstratified late Neolithic/early Bronze Age pottery sherd. Geophysical survey and trial trenching conducted near Hayfield School in the east and part of the north of the buffer revealed poorly preserved ridge and furrow. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any earthwork or cropmark features within the site. An area of ridge and furrow was recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the eastern part of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, enclosed by the Finningley, Auckley and Blaxton parliamentary enclosure awarded in 1778. There is no legibility of previous land use in this area. The south and west of the buffer comprise an area of drained wetland which had already been drained by the 1778 enclosure acts. An area of industrial-modern woodland forms the north western part of the buffer and in the far east is Hayfield School. Recent aerial mapping (2017) shows the site as an arable field bounded to the north by woodland, to the east by hedgerow, the west by buildings and to the south by Hayfield Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as forming part of a group of fields called Long Lands Field, with the current field boundaries extant by that date. The site remained unchanged in 1993. The 1854 OS map depicts the buffer as fields and piecemeal enclosure. Hayfield Cottage lay immediately south of the site and the area of woodland in the northwest of the buffer was labelled Twelve Months Carr. This was extended southwards towards Hayfield Road between 1922 and 1930. By 1968 the field directly to the west of the site had two buildings along its east side and was labelled Four Acres, and by 1975 four more buildings had been constructed along its eastern boundary. The 1993 OS map shows the fields to the west of the site as playing fields associated with Hayfield School. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1853 with the field boundaries pre-dating the first OS map. Agricultural use of the site may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Roman artefacts have been recovered in the area. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the site and six within the buffer. One events is recorded at the southern edge of the buffer. In the north of the site is the findspot of a Neolithic stone axe. The northernmost part of the site and the north of the buffer is on the southern edge of the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, which marks the focus of the local Roman pottery industry. In the west of the buffer are four findspots of four Roman brooches and coins and a Roman red and blue enamelled strap. An evaluation within Hurst Wood at the southern edge of the buffer recorded post-medieval quarry pits and features associated with tree planting. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded an area of post medieval ridge and furrow in the northern half of the site, one area in the north of the buffer and one in the southwest of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site, the west and part of the east of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, enclosed by the Finningley, Auckley and Blaxton parliamentary enclosure awarded in 1778. There is no legibility of previous land use in this area. The north and northeast of the buffer comprise an area of drained wetland which had already been drained by the 1778 enclosure acts. An area of industrial-modern woodland runs through the middle of the drained wetland. Recent aerial mapping (2017) shows the site as a two arable fields, a complete field in the north half and part of a larger field at the south. The fields are divided east-west by a hedgerow and bounded to the north by Hayfield Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as one agricultural field in the north and part of a second field in the south. The site remained unchanged on the 1993 OS map. The 1854 OS map depicts the buffer as comprising agglomerated fields and piecemeal enclosure. Hayfield Lodge was in the northwest of the buffer, Hayfield Cottage on the eastern edge and the field in the southeast of the buffer was known as Colt Field. The woodland area in the north of the buffer extended southwards towards Hayfield Road between 1922 and 1930. No further changes were shown on the 1993 OS map. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1853 with the field boundaries pre-dating the first OS map. Agricultural use of the site may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Prehistoric and Roman artefacts have been recovered in the area.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three findspots and two monuments are recorded within the buffer. An area of cropmarks showing Iron Age to Roman fields was recorded to the immediate northeast, and finds of a Roman brooch and medieval to early post-medieval coins have been made within that area, now within a housing estate. The Great North Road adjacent to the west side of the site, is thought to be on the route of a Roman road between Lincoln and York. On event is recorded immediately to the northeast of the site, where geophysical survey and trial trenching recorded Iron Age and modern field ditches and quarrying activity. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens are recorded within the site. One grade II listed milepost is located at the northern edge of the buffer. The National Mapping Programme aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. One ditch of possible Iron Age to Roman date is recorded at the northwest side of the buffer. The cropmark site recorded to the northeast of the site on the SMR was not plotted by the NMP. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the southeast part of the buffer as an early 20th- century planned social housing estate with no legibility of earlier strip enclosures. Other character zones within the buffer include agglomerated fields to the north and northwest, ancient woodland at the northern tip, 21st- century housing estate to the immediate northeast. and 20th-century housing estates, a depot and a school in the southern half. Recent aerial imagery (2016) shows the site as an enclosure of rough grass and trees. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field to the east of the Great North Road. The southern boundary of the site had been established by 1929, as the edge of gardens associated with housing to the south. In 1967, the site was shown as a plantation, or area of scrubland, with no further changes shown by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed fields surrounding the site, with a railway line just to the east of the edge of the buffer. Station buildings and turn tables were shown at the southeast edge. The 1886 map showed a small gravel pit in a field to the west of the Great North Road. This was disused by 1893, when the sidings around the station had expanded. A pair of houses were shown at the southern edge of the buffer in 1902, fronting onto the Great North Road, with allotment gardens to the west by 1921. By 1929, housing had been built to the south of the site, with further housing and a works or depot shown to the west by 1948. A small works was shown to the northeast by 1962, possibly a sewage works. In 1985, the station appeared to have closed and its site was shown as works buildings. Survival: The site was part of a field by at least the mid-19th century, possibly in arable cultivation, and became an area of rough grass by the mid-20th century. The extent of sub-surface disturbance is likely to be low. Iron Age to Roman field systems and enclosures have been recorded within the vicinity, and the archaeological potential 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. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site. At the eastern edge of the buffer is an area of post medieval ridge and furrow within Balby playing fields. These are not clearly visible on LiDAR mapping of the area. Historic Environment Characterisation records the northwest part of the site as allotments first shown on the 1930 OS map. The southeast part of the site and the buffer is classified as enclosed drained wetland retaining features of 17th century wetland drainage. Playing fields are recorded at the eastern edge of the buffer. The north, west and southwest of the buffer are areas of residential housing constructed during the 20th century, the northeast edge of the buffer is classified as early 20th century metal works and to the south is Doncaster Sewage Works. The west and northwest of the buffer is characterised as parkland and allotments. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as an area of grassland and scrubland with extensive tree coverage in the northeast, and trees along the field boundary in the centre of the site. It is adjacent to site number 1047. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as parts of two agricultural fields. By 1930 the northwest part of the site was in use as allotment gardens, which had been divided internally by a trackway by 1939. The 1961 map shows the northwest field as defined strip allotments while the southeast part of the site remained part of a larger field and by 1967 the northern boundary of the southeast field was marked as a drain. In the buffer the 1854 OS map shows the area as a series of strip and rectangular fields which remained unchanged until 1903, when residential houses began to appear in the northern part of the buffer. By 1930 housing development had increased and buildings were present on Coronation Road at the northern end of the site as well as along Balby Road in the northwest. The 1956 OS map shows a housing estate in the southwest of the buffer and the sewage works in the south, in addition to increased housing and allotment outbuildings in the north. Survival: The site has been in agricultural and horticultural, which may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. The conditions for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone affected by ploughing are considered to be moderate. The field divisions evident from the 1854 OS map are still present and historic landscape characterisation suggests that some features of 17th century wetland drainage may be retained. Within the wider area to the southeast of the buffer, some Iron Age to Roman field systems and settlement has been recorded, and it is possible that similar remains may extend into the site. The archaeological potential 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: Google Earth aerial imagery between 2002 and 2017 showed the site as grassland/scrubland. Some of the allotment divisions can be seen in the north western part of the site in the 2002 map, becoming obscured by trees by 2017. The southeast part of the site remains open scrubland throughout with increasing tree cover along the north eastern border. LiDAR imagery shows possible faint ridge and furrow or drainage features in the southeast part of the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 & 2017.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or registered parks and gardens within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and the eastern part of the site and the buffer as enclosed drained wetland retaining features of 17th century wetland drainage. Further to the east of the buffer are playing fields. Directly south of the site is a strip of allotments which have been in agricultural use since at least the mid- 19th century. The north, west and southwest of the buffer are areas of residential housing constructed during the 20th century, the north east of the buffer is classified as early 20th century metal works and to the south are Doncaster sewage works. The west and northwest of the buffer are used as parkland and allotments. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as an area of grassland and scrubland. It is adjacent to site number 1046.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One monument is within the southern edge of the buffer, the end of the route of the Roman Ridge, an earthwork bank and ditch thought to have been constructed in either the Iron Age or early medieval periods. This ran roughly parallel with and north of the River Don from Sheffield to Kimberworth, then split into two lines, one finishing at Mexborough within the southern part of the buffer. The purpose of the monument is uncertain, but it is thought likely to have been a boundary. The earthwork does not survive within the buffer, though its route is preserved as a property boundary. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the current character of the site as allotment gardens developed in the late 19th to early 20th century, with no legibility of the former Dolcliffe Common. This extends into the east of the buffer. Other character zones within the buffer include 20th-century housing estates (private and social), terraced housing of late 19th-century origin, playing fields to the immediate south of the site, overgrown former clay pits at the eastern edge of the buffer, and a nursing home. Recent aerial imagery (2018) shows the site as abandoned allotments, mainly with rough grass and shrub coverage. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of two fields, which had become one larger field by 1892. By 1932, the current site boundaries had been established and the site was shown as allotment gardens with a central north- south path, a path along the southern edge and a path from the allotments to the east into the site. Occasional sheds were shown on the 1957 map, but were not depicted in 1971. A possible building was shown at the southwest edge of the site in 1989. Within the buffer, the 1854 map mainly shows fields, with Dolcliffe Common to the immediate east of the site, and a road (now Main Street) at the southern edge of the buffer. Some circular pits, possibly coal mine shafts, were shown within Dolcliffe Common, though none within the immediate vicinity of the site. Housing was shown at the south and southeast ends of the buffer by 1892, with a fire clay works at the east side. Dolcliffe Common had been enclosed into fields by that date. The brickworks had expanded by 1903, when a field to the east of the site was labelled 'allotment gardens'. Further allotments were shown to the south of the site in 1930, at which date the brickworks was disused. Housing was under construction to the west and north of the site by 1957. The terraced housing at the south end of the buffer had been demolished and replaced by new houses or flats by 1971, and a playing field and playground were shown to the south of the site. Survival: The site has been in agricultural or allotment garden use from at least the mid-19th century. Cultivation may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but overall the potential for the survival of buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. Iron Age to Roman field systems have been recorded outside the buffer, in undeveloped areas, and there is the potential for similar remains within the site. The eastern boundary of the site is on the line of the edge of Dolcliffe Common as shown in 1854. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2018 shows the site as abandoned allotment gardens, with the central, southern and eastern paths still clear. In 2002, some of the boundaries between allotments were visible as differential vegetation growth, but over time the vegetation became longer and the area appears more homogenous. No clear features are visible on Lidar data. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2017 & 2018. Lidar DTM 2m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. One monument and two events are recorded to the north, just extending into the northern tip of the buffer. These all relate to the Roman Ridge Roman road, stretches of which survive as a bridleway. Trenching at the southern end of this area recorded limestone rubble that may part of the former road surface. The road would have continued southeast through the northeast edge of the buffer, roughly on the alignment of York Road. It ran between forts at Doncaster and Castleford. No listed buildings, Scheduled Monuments or registered parks and gardens are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. An area of post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer, in an area which has since been built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and part of the northeast buffer as an area of school buildings, of modern date. Further character zones within the buffer largely comprise mid-20th-century to modern housing estates to the east, south and west, and a commercial area at the northern edge. An area of historic landfill extends into the northern tip of the buffer, north of the Sun Inn, used for the deposition of commercial waste. Recent aerial imagery (2017) shows a large school-type building and smaller associated structures within the site, with a hard-surfaced yards to the west and north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of fields to the north of Cusworth Lane. The sinuous boundaries are suggestive of the piecemeal enclosure of strips from medieval open field. By 1959, a small primary school was located in the eastern side of the site. A new larger building named Anchorage School had been built in the central part of the site by 1968, and the earlier buildings demolished. Playgrounds were shown to the west and northwest at that date. Smaller buildings had been added to the northeast and east of the main building by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows fields to the northeast and west, Cusworth Lane to the south, Road to the north and the Great North Road to the northwest. An old limestone quarry was depicted at the north end of the field containing the site, and the Sun Inn was at the northern edge of the buffer. The quarry north of the site was not labelled in 1892. By 1902, Dillicarr House had been built to the southwest of the site. Some field boundaries around the site had been removed by 1930 to create larger fields. Semi-detached houses were under construction to the south and east of the site by 1948, and to the west by 1959. There were allotment gardens to the northeast of the site at that date, and works buildings at the northern edge of the buffer. By 1968, schools had been built to the north of the site, with further housing shown to the southeast by 1992. Survival: The site is occupied by two-storey school buildings, which are likely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance within their footprint. The less disturbed yard areas are quite limited in extent, and the site is surrounded by modern housing to the west and south. The site is close to a Roman road, but the modern disturbance suggests that the potential for encountering significant archaeological remains is low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

It Y Roman Road at would have been the main Roman road from Doncaster to Adwick le Castleford . Excavation in 1958 to the northwest of Adwick-le- Street/Bentley Street identified two phases of road. Finds included at least two jars, one of Antonine date. Trenches excavated across the bridleway in 2009-10 recorded limestone rubble near the southern end, possibly a former road surface. No evidence for the road was found in Hanging Wood, and it seems probable that the parallel bank c25m to the east is the true route of the road rather than the modern bridleway.

At the southern part of the investigated Ridge Roman Road, area limestone rubble possibly representing a former road Adwick le Street, surface was recorded. Several of the trenches failed to find Doncaster remains of the road due to disturbance caused by Brodsworth Colliery. The presumed line of the road may need to be re- evaluated in the southern portion, where a nearby and parallel bank may represent the true road route.
