The SMR records two undesignated assets within the study area, a building of a possible 18th to 19th century date and the post-medieval church of St George's located 40m southwest of the site. The site was not included in the Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire AP Mapping project, so no information is available on any cropmark features in or adjoining the site. The HEC records the present character of the site as being split between Residential: Vernacular Cottages 1800-2006 and Residential: Private Housing Estate 1967-2006 with a significant historic character of Vernacular Cottages 1066-1799 and fragmentary historic character of Enclosed Land: Open Fields 1066-1539 and Enclosed Land: Strip Fields 1540-1966. The site is split between the Nucleated Rural Settlements and Early to Mid- 20th Century Private Suburbs character zones. Comparison of historic OS maps indicates the site occupied a series of enclosed fields with a school building and additional structure to the south of the school just within the western edge on the 1854 map. By the 1930s map the school building has been extended, taking up most of the northwest corner of the site, while the eastern section of the site is still occupied by two fields. The school appears to have been extended again in the 1970s, with the structure to the south no longer depicted. The modern OS map indicates the site has been cleared of the school and the building in the southwest corner. Post-1990 APs show the site as scrubland, with a small park/playground constructed within the southern half of the site in the late 2000s. Known and Potential Heritage Assets There is a moderate possibility for disturbing remains of medieval and post-medieval date of high local significance. There is also a high possibility of disturbing 19th century remains of low-local significance and 20th century remains relating to additions to the school of negligible significance. Survival The survival of pre-19th century remains is considered to be low due 19th and 20th century disturbance. The survival of 19th century heritage assets relating to the school is considered to be moderate to poor as the 20th century additions to the school, together with the creation of the park/playground, may have impacted earlier remains.

The site was not included in the Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire AP Mapping Project, so no information is available of cropmark features in or adjoining the site. The HEC records the present character of the site as Enclosed Land: Agglomerated fields 1973-2005 with a fragmentary historic character of Enclosed Land: Open Fields 1066-1539 and Enclosed Land: Strip Fields 1540-1972. The site is assigned to the Agglomerated Enclosure character zone. Comparison of historic OS maps indicates the site has changed little since the mid-19th century when it consisted of two fields with a boundary running through the middle on an east-west alignment. An old gravel pit is recorded on the 1st edition OS map to the east of the site. By the 1890s the settlement of Fir Hill has been established to the north of the site, with the construction of terrace housing and a Methodist chapel. Evidence for an increase in quarrying in the surrounding area can be seen with the depiction of further gravel and sand quarries located to the southeast of the site. The northern half of the site is occupied by allotment gardens from the 1920s until the 1970s, with two houses built just outside the site, along its eastern edge, at this time. Post-1990 APs show the site to remain divided into two by a field boundary and that a modern garden extension with garage has been built in the northwest section of the site. Known and Potential Heritage Assets Although there are no known prehistoric, Romano-British or Anglo Saxon remains within the site, such remains are difficult to predict or exclude, especially in areas with no previous ground disturbance. The possibility of disturbing remains relating to these periods is uncertain with the significance being recorded as unknown. There is a high possibility of pre-1854 field boundaries of negligible significance. Survival The survival of heritage assets on this site is considered to be good due to lack of previous ground disturbance.

The SMR records one undesignated asset within the study area consisting of two Roman coins, Antoniniani of Gallierius (A.D. 253-268, Rome mint) found in a field with 'several others' 130m southeast of the site. The site was not included in the Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire AP Mapping Project, so no information is available of cropmark features in or adjoining the site. The HEC records the present character of the site as Enclosed Land: Agglomerated Fields 1973-2005 with a fragmentary historic character of Enclosed Land: Open Fields 1066-1539 and Enclosed Land: Piecemeal Enclosure 1540-1972. The site is assigned to the Agglomerated Enclosure character zone. Comparison of historic OS maps indicate the site changed little since the mid-19th century when it occupied an enclosed field immediately adjacent to Goose Carr Lane, 250m west of the historic core of Todwick. Todwick begins to expand from the mid-20th century, with housing established to the southeast at this time. By the 1970s the village has expanded considerable to the southeast, with the site taking its current form. Post-1990 APs show the site occupies an arable field. Known and Potential Heritage Assets Although there are no known prehistoric, Romano-British or Anglo Saxon remains within the site, such remains are difficult to predict or exclude, especially in areas with no previous ground disturbance. The possibility of disturbing remains relating to these periods is uncertain with the significance being recorded as unknown.
