Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any features within the site. Six monuments and three events are recorded within the buffer. Three of the monuments relate to the road, running northwest from Doncaster, located along the northern edge of the site. An Iron Age to Roman settlement site was recorded as cropmarks at the western edge of the buffer; two undated enclosures plus other features are recorded as cropmarks on the northern edge of the buffer and abraded pottery was found during the evaluation to the west of the site. Three events have taken place within the buffer; two associated with the Roman road, including a survey of its route and trial trenches that identified part of a probable road surface. Geophysical survey and excavation were carried out at Emley Drive to the west of the site but no archaeological features were encountered. One Scheduled Monument, the Roman Ridge Roman road lies directly north of the site, within the buffer. The Scheduled area extends into the edge of the site. There are no listed buildings within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of a prehistoric to Roman trackway within the buffer directly east of the site, an Iron Age to Roman rectilinear enclosure and field boundaries in the north of the buffer and post medieval ridge and furrow in the south. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site and the south west of the buffer as being within the area of Scawsby Rosedale School. The south and eastern area comprises Emley Drive planned housing estate. No legibility of historic landscape features are visible in these areas. In the buffer to the north and far west of the site is an area of agglomerated fields formerly known as , Broad Axe and High Fields. The fields were agglomerated during the second half of the 20th century by the removal of probable Parliamentary Enclosure subdivisions. The place-name evidence of this area points towards an 'open field' heritage. The site is currently a small field with grass coverage, with housing to the west and south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map shows the site as part of an area of fields, with the Roman Ridge Roman road running along the north of the site as a bridleway. The field directly to the northeast of the site was named Broad Axe Field. By 1948 housing development had begun to the east of the site, extending further to the south by 1966. The 1982 map shows Scawsby Rosedale School and the initial phase of development of the Emley Drive housing estate. Survival: The site has been part of a field since at least 1851, and is likely to have been cultivated, which could have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. The Roman Ridge road, a Scheduled Monument, runs across the northern edge of the site, with the Scheduled area extending into the site, and Iron Age to Roman activity has been recorded within the buffer, though an evaluation to the west of the site did not recover any archaeological remains. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. The impact of development on the setting of the Roman Ridge Roman road will also need to be considered. Significance: Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on its extent, nature and condition. The Roman Ridge is a Scheduled Monument, of National significance. Note: Site 811 is the same as Site 390.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer zone as part of a planned estate of social housing, comprising mainly semi-detached properties with roads named after poets. The houses within this character area were mostly constructed between the late 1920s and the mid 1940s and prior to this, the area was agricultural. Traces of strip fields are visible on the 1854 OS map, suggesting consolidation from former open fields, although legibility of this former landscape is invisible. Additional character areas within the buffer zone include regenerated scrubland, allotments and industrial and educational sites. The site is located off Shelley Avenue, and is immediately surrounded by modern housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1854 the site was located within fields which are collectively named Wood Field. A footpath was aligned north to south approximately down the centre of the site. By 1930 the site had been turned into allotment gardens, presumably in association with the housing estate which had been constructed directly to the west of the site. By 1970 Shelley Avenue had been established and three structures had been constructed on the site. There is no change on the 1994 map. Within the buffer zone, the area surrounding the site comprises fields, with Wood Field Lane running east-west to the north of the site, and Cuckoo Lane/Common Lane running east-west to the south of the site. The fields surrounding and within the site were named Wood Field. Balby Sewage Works had been established to the northeast of the site by 1892. By 1930, modern housing had been built to the immediate west of the site, and the sewage works had expanded considerably. A sand pit was present to the northeast of the site and allotment gardens had been established to the south of the site, on the southern side of Weston Road (formerly Cuckoo Lane/Common Lane). By 1937 a school had been built within the housing estate to the west. By 1956, construction had begun on houses to the immediate east of the site, which were mostly complete by 1959, although it wasn’t until 1970 that the present road pattern was complete. Survival: The site is shown on the 1854 map as part of a field. By 1970 three structures had been constructed over the majority of the site. As such, the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be low. Google Street View images from July 2015 show the site under development with housing. Further investigations: As the site has been recently developed, no further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that by 2002 there was little change on the site since the 1994 map, with three buildings present on the site, with a small area of grass and hardstanding. Google Street View images from July 2015 show that these structures had been demolished and the site was under development at this time, with what appears to be housing. No earthworks of archaeological interest have been identified within the available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Within the buffer, four findspots, nine monuments and nine events are recorded, all concentrated in the northern part of the buffer, with the majority being located to either side of Priory Place, between St Sepulchre Gate and Cleveland Street. The findspots comprise an Upper Palaeolithic flint point/blade, a Neolithic to Bronze Age flint dagger and a Roman altar, all found during various excavations at St Sepulchre Gate, and fragments of Roman amphora found during construction of a road between St Sepulchre Gate and the station. The monuments mainly represent buried remains recorded through excavation, including Roman wall foundations and pits, and medieval features related to the former town boundary ditch, a 12th-century road and the site of the Carmelite Friary of 1350-1538. The site of West Bar, one of the gates into the medieval town, is located near the junction of St Sepulchre Gate and West Laithe Gate, north of the site. The events are evaluations, watching briefs and excavations associated with the remains recorded as monuments. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. Eight grade II listed buildings are within the buffer zone, again all in the northern part of the buffer and concentrated in the area to the north of Duke Street. The exception is the station booking office, which is located in the northwest part of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any earthworks or cropmarks within the site or buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the eastern part of the buffer as part of the later 20th-century Waterdale and Colonnades shopping centre, with no legibility of the former layout of market gardens in earlier strip enclosures and early to mid-19th-century terraced housing, which was demolished in advance of the commercial development. Other character areas within the buffer include a late 20th-century planned social housing estate to the south, the ring road to the south and west of the site, urban commercial development including retail warehouses and light industrial premises to the west, along with the railway and former rail yard and a small area of surviving 19th-century terraced housing. The modern Frenchgate shopping centre and Grand Theatre are located at the northwest side of the buffer, and the northeast side is occupied by part of the historic core of the urban area, where burgage plots and streets associated with the medieval town layout are still visible in the current plan. Subdivisions within this character area include Priory Place, identified as late 19th-century terraced housing on the site of the former Carmelite Priory, modern banks and telephone exchange at St Sepulchre Gate and a modern bar and restaurant at Cleveland Street, both constructed in the late 20th- to early 21st century. The site is currently occupied by a later 20th-century three-storey retail/office building, fronting onto St Sepulchre Gate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1852 OS town plan depicts the site as a developed area fronting onto St Sepulchre Gate, bounded to the north by a street called Spring Gardens. The development comprises probable shops or larger terraced houses on the St Sepulchre Gate frontage, with back to back and courtyard housing behind, and probable privies in the yards. The 1902 map shows the courtyard within the site as Mandall's Yard. By 1937, fewer buildings are depicted within the site, suggesting most of the courtyard housing had been demolished. The 1962 map shows a single large building occupying the plot, unlabelled, with a separate building to the immediate north. By 1984, the current layout of the building was shown, though no changes to the plan were shown, suggesting the northwest corner, outside the current site, had been divided into two separate premises after 1962. The 1852 OS town plan depicts most of the buffer zone as developed, with Doncaster Station at the western edge and some fields around it. The development within the vicinity of the site was mainly terraced and courtyard housing of varying sizes, as well as small scale manufactories. Schools and chapels are also depicted. By 1902, a larger building, possibly a works, is depicted to the east of the site along Spring Gardens, and further larger works

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

and shops were depicted in the north and west parts of the buffer. Much of the smaller housing appears to have been demolished by 1938, with large areas of vacant plots in the vicinity of the site. In 1962, there were still extensive undeveloped areas to the north of Spring Gardens and to the west and southwest of St Sepulchre Gate. A postal transport depot was depicted to the south of the site. By 1969, Trafford Way had been constructed to the immediate southwest of the site, cutting through formerly developed areas. The transport depot had been demolished by 1984, and large buildings constructed to the north of Spring Gardens and Duke Street, probably retail buildings associated with the Waterdale/Colonnades commercial district. Further buildings had been constructed along the Trafford Way frontage to the immediate south of the site by 1992. Survival: The site is currently covered by a mid-20th-century three-storey retail/office building. It is not known if the building is cellared, but it is likely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance which may have damaged or removed any earlier archaeological features within at least some parts of its footprint. The site was formerly occupied by terraced and courtyard housing, extant in 1852, which may also have had cellarage. The potential for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be low; however, excavations in Doncaster centre have demonstrated the potential for the survival of remains in areas around cellarage, and the extent of truncation within the site is currently unknown. The site is outside the Roman and medieval towns, but fronts onto a road likely to be of at least medieval origin, and it is therefore possible that remains associated with roadside activity could survive within undisturbed areas of 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: Google Earth imagery from 2002-2009 depicts the site as a single Z-shaped building, with areas of both flat and pitched roof. A separate building with a flat roof adjoins it to the north, along the Spring Gardens frontage, and a wide pavement or parking area is shown to the front. Street View imagery shows the St Sepulchre Gate frontage of the building within the site as a Co-Operative funeral centre. The building is a three-storey structure of plain, unremarkable mid-20th-century design, of yellowish-red brick, with a modern shopfront on the ground floor and rows of wide windows above. Lidar data does not show any features other than the building footprint. The building adjoining to the north, outside the site, is more interesting in its design, with moulded terracotta tiles on the St Sepulchre Gate frontage. It has wide, flat-arched windows on the second storey and smaller windows of the same design on the third storey. It has two modern shopfronts at ground floor level. It is plainer, and rendered, on the Spring Gardens frontage, but its eastern two bays, a tattoo shop, has similar arched windows to second and third storeys.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is within the buffer, the Woodlands Colliery Village, designed by Percy Houfton in c.1908 for the Brodsworth Colliery Company. The design followed garden village principles, and was laid out in geometric patterns with regular open green space and the incorporation of mature trees. The design of the housing and municipal buildings was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Six grade II listed buildings are within the buffer, all associated with the Woodlands Colliery Village to the west of the site, apart from the Miners’ Welfare Institute which originated as Woodlands Hall, a mansion house built in the late 18th century. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of the c.1908 suburban commercial core associated with Woodlands Colliery Village, built in a typical Edwardian style. Further character zones recorded within the buffer include the Park and Woodlands North components of the colliery village to the west of the site, forming the earliest and most architecturally-significant elements of the housing estates. Ornamental parkland at the southwest edge of the buffer originated as a landscape park associated with Woodlands Hall, built c.1795 and converted into a miner’s welfare centre in the early 20th century. To the south of the site is the Miner’s welfare recreation grounds and to the northeast and southeast is the 1920s-30s extension of the village in a less significant architectural style and street layout. The site is currently a car park behind a former hotel now converted into housing. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map shows the site as part of -1906, part of a field, bounded on the southwest by the Great North Road. The site was developed between 1906 and 1930, by which date the site was shown as a carpark to rear of Woodlands Hotel, a large building at the corner of the Great North Road and Princess Street. One small building was shown along the northwest side of the site, possibly a bus shelter. The site layout was unchanged in 1982. Within the buffer, the 1851 map shows the landscape park associated with Woodlands Hall to the south of the Great North Road, in this area fields with liberally scattered trees. By 1892, Woodlands Cottages had been built at the northeast corner of the park. Area to northwest and east is occupied by regular fields suggestive of parliamentary enclosure. The Woodlands Colliery village had been built by 1930, with housing surrounding the edges of the park to the south of the site, a sports ground to the southeast of the site with football and cricket pitches, and more traditionally arranged housing along grid-pattern streets to the north and northeast of the site. Schools were located to the west of the site, and Woodlands Cottages were still shown. Survival: No major disturbance has been shown within the site on historic mapping. It is possible that some disturbance associated with the insertion of services may have occurred, but in general the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial view shows the Woodlands Hotel, which has been altered to the rear since the 1982 map, and has lost the northern and southern wings shown on historic mapping. The area of the site is a tarmac-surfaced carpark to the northeast of the hotel, with a tree-lined border around the north, east and south sides. The small building shown on the Princess Street frontage on historic mapping is no longer present. The nature of the land use in this area means that no further features are visible on the Lidar data. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, the former site of Denaby Main Colliery. One monument and one findspot are recorded in the buffer: the site of the mid-19th-century Denaby Main Pottery to the northwest of the site and a Roman coin found in the eastern part of the buffer. Two events are recorded within the buffer, both associated with archaeological evaluation and excavation at the Denaby Main pottery. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One grade II listed milepost is located within the buffer, along Doncaster Road. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, a 20th-century air raid shelter was recorded to the east of site, and the site of a late 19th- to mid-20th-century explosives factory to the south. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site and part of the buffer as a modern industrial estate, on the site of the former Denaby Main Colliery. Further character zones within the buffer comprise regenerated scrub on the site of part of the Denaby Main colliery to the northeast, reclaimed colliery spoil heaps at the northern edge, modern planned social housing estates to the east, a modern leisure centre and regenerated scrubland to the northwest, valley floor meadows, modern sewage works and playing fields to the west. The site is currently occupied by large light industrial buildings and part of a road network. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as two large fields, with a lane leading through the on a southwest to northeast alignment, terminating in a field to the east. By 1892, a brick works was shown at the eastern side of the site, with a kiln and a clay pit in the corner of the un-named lane previously shown and a new lane heading northeast to join Doncaster Road. A further clay pit was shown to the east along the lane. The brick kiln and western clay pit were not shown in 1902, and the second pit was disused. In 1930, most of the site was shown as allotment gardens, with a swimming pool to the north of the lane. The swimming pool had been demolished by 1956. A hachured area was shown on the site of the former clay pit and brick works at the western side of the site in 1958 and 1966, suggesting the pit had not been fully infilled; this was also shown in 1972, though had not been depicted on earlier maps. A playing field occupied the northwest part of the site in 1972, and all the field boundaries to the south of the lane had been removed. By 1994, the playing field was still shown, and two warehouses had been built in the southern part of the site. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed an engine house to the north, off Doncaster Road, and three small sandstone quarries to the northwest. A railway line ran through the northern part of the buffer, roughly parallel with the road and the River Don. The remainder of the buffer comprised fields, many reminiscent of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field, with Denaby Wood to the south. By 1892, the quarries were shown as disused, and terraced housing was under construction to the south of Doncaster Road in the northeast part of the buffer. Denaby Main colliery was shown to the north of the railway line, an explosive works to the south of the site, and Bone Mills to the northwest. The bone mills were disused in 1902. A Mission Room and the Reresby Arms public house were shown just south of Doncaster Road in 1892. By 1930, a sewage works had been built to the west of the site. The explosive works was not shown at this date or in 1948, with its location depicted as fields, but this may be a deliberate omission for security reasons, as it is shown again in 1956 and was much more extensive in 1958. Housing to the northeast of the site had been demolished by 1972, with further housing having been built further south along the eastern side of the buffer. A factory was shown on the site of the explosive works at that date. By 1994, the area south of the site was shown as works and depots, and housing had extended up to the eastern boundary of the site. Denaby Main colliery was shown as disused at that date.

Survival: The site has been used as fields and allotments, and has had two small clay pits excavated within the northern part. Development in the 20th century included a small swimming baths and two warehouses, with further light industrial units built on the site after 1994 though this may not have included substantial sub-surface disturbance. On the basis of current evidence, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is unknown. Remains of the 19th-century brick kiln may survive at the western side of the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the brick kiln are considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as occupied by light industrial sheds and concrete-surfaced parking areas, with an area of rough ground and scrub to the east. The roundabout at the north end of the site has been built between 1994 and 2002 in association with the construction of a road bridge over the railway. There is no Lidar data available for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. RAF/CPE/UK/2011 5373 16-Apr-1947; RAF/543/9F22 0325 19-Jun-1957.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site. Within the buffer zone, the findspot of two Roman coins is recorded to the south of the site. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. The outline of a 20th-century spoil heap associated with the Yorkshire Main Colliery is recorded in the eastern half of the buffer zone, and fragmentary traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow are plotted at the southern end of the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and some of the eastern buffer zone as an industrial estate. Prior to this, the area was agricultural and probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include various housing types, a municipal depot, a farm complex and spoil heaps. The site is located at the north-eastern end of New Edlington, and is currently occupied by large industrial buildings. Modern houses are located to the west of the site, with the regenerated ground of a former spoil heap to the east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 map the site was depicted as fields. By 1930, the site was located with the southern area of Yorkshire Main Colliery. The southern part of the site appears to remain undeveloped, although numerous railway tracks, an engine house, water tower, tanks and baths occupied the northern end of the site. By 1982, several works buildings had been constructed at the eastern end of the site. By 1994 the colliery had shut down, and the railway tracks and associated structures had all been removed from the northern end of the site. The works buildings were still present at the eastern end of the site. Within the buffer zone, the area surrounding the site was fields in 1854. Broom House Lane was extant to the south of the site, with Broom House located off the southern side of the road. A small area of plantation was present to the north of the site, named South Flat, and another to the east of the site, named Warmsworth Plantation. By 1930 significant change had occurred within the buffer zone, with Yorkshire Main Colliery and Miners’ Welfare Ground established to the immediate north of the site, and a housing estate to the immediate west of the site. By 1938 a spoil heap had developed to the east of the site, which gradually grew until by 1994 it occupied the majority of the eastern end of the buffer zone, and beyond. Houses had been developed to the south-west of the site by 1973. By 1980 an industrial estate had been built to the immediate west of the site. By 1994 the colliery had been removed, leaving a large blank area within the northern buffer zone. Survival: The site was fields by 1854, but by 1930, the Yorkshire Main Colliery had been established to the immediate north of the site, with some of the railway tracks and associated structures occupying the northern end of the site. The southern end of the site remained empty at this time, although by 1982 numerous works building had been constructed at the eastern half of the southern end of the site, which had spread across the entire southern area by 2002. Ground disturbance related to the colliery structures and infrastructure at the northern end of the site, and the later works buildings at the southern end of the site suggest that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains within the site is low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer. Excavation at West Moor Park revealed that an agricultural and industrial Romano-British landscape of enclosures, 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. The possible site of a medieval grange associated with Roche Abbey is located to the north of the site. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of numerous Iron Age ditches within the buffer, probably field boundaries. Two of these also run across the southern end of the site. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as surveyed enclosure, with fields enclosed from Long Sandall Common by Parliamentary Award in 1785. There is partial legibility of former common edges. The northern buffer is an area of Drained Wetland, likely to have been dominated by peat formation until its drainage, in the 17th and 18th centuries. Despite the loss of hedged boundaries typical in this area the area still retains a strong geometric pattern produced by its drainage patterns. The eastern edge of the buffer are recorded as large shed type distribution centres built adjacent to Junction 4 of the M18. The southwest of the buffer recorded as a Planned Social Housing Estate, built to a geometric design to house colliery workers at the nearby Markham Main. The site is currently part of a large field in arable cultivation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site within an area of piecemeal enclosure and strip fields which are thought to have been enclosed by Parliamentary award in 1785. The area was labelled as ‘The Lings’. There were no changes to the field boundaries or surrounding area until 1968, when large scale housing development at Armthorpe began to encroach on The Lings from the southwest. By 1981 the A630 and Hatfield Lane had been constructed. Survival: The site has been fields since at least 1854. Ploughing may have truncated sub-surface archaeological features but there is no evidence for deep ground disturbance within the site. The potential for buried archaeological remains below the level impacted by ploughing is therefore considered to be moderate to high. Iron Age to Roman field boundaries have been recorded within the site and buffer as cropmarks, and nearby excavation demonstrated the survival of associated remains at West Moor. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains of Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and field boundaries could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site to be within an arable field that is regularly ploughed. The site is bounded by a mixture of mature trees and hedgerows. Cropmarks show a substantial slightly curved linear feature running across the site on a southeast to northwest orientation. The feature seems to widen towards the northern end. It is possible that, given the proximity to known Iron Age/Romano British settlements, this feature could form part of the wider prehistoric landscape, possibly a palaeochannel. There is a very faint outline of this feature visible on LiDAR data. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015. LiDAR tile SE6305 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of an area of heavy metal trades and other works, adjacent to the railway, where industrialisation began in the later 19th century. There is no legibility of the former drained wetland landscape. Further character zones within the buffer include a surviving area of drained wetland retaining many historic field boundaries that probably resulted from the extensive drainage programme of the 17th century; a sewage works, sports grounds and playing fields, terraced and planned social housing, allotment gardens, regenerated scrubland, a traveller community site and suburban commercial core. The most recent imagery of the site (2015) showed it as almost entirely occupied by factory buildings, with small parking or storage areas to the west and northeast. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as two fields by 1854, with the northwest boundary formed by Cross Bank lane and the eastern boundary by a land drain. By 1892, the northern part of the site was a garden with a buildings shown along the western side, on the Cross Bank frontage, possibly at least three small terraced cottages. Two wells were shown behind the buildings, and a possible large pond feature in the garden. The southern side was part of a larger field. By 1930, Cross Bank had been renamed Garden Terrace, but was again shown as Cross Bank in 1961, by which date two works buildings were shown within the former garden in the northern part of the site. A plastics factory had been built in the southern part by 1977, when one of the northern buildings was shown as a research laboratory. The site layout remained largely unchanged by 1992. Within the buffer zone, several buildings were marked along roads to the north and west of the site in 1841, with the remaining area shown as fields. By 1892, the fields to the north and east of the site had become gardens for houses on the Cross Bank and Balby Carr Bank frontages. Terraced housing had been built along the west side of Cross Bank by 1903, extending southwards by 1930. Allotments were shown to the southwest of the site at that date. By 1939, a rope works had been constructed to the immediate north of the site, with a bowling green and a tennis court shown adjacent to the works. The works to the north had been extended by 1977, and was labelled 'wire rope works', whilst the former gardens to the east of the site had become a refuse tip to the rear of a tungsten carbide products works. The area was largely unchanged by 1992. Survival: The site is mainly occupied by factory buildings. The extent of sub-surface disturbance caused by these buildings is currently unknown, but is likely to be extensive, meaning that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is low to negligible. There may be a limited potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains associated with the later 19th-century terraced cottages within the car park area at the western edge of the site, though this is a very small area and may also have been disturbed by construction in the main part of the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are not likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

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. 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 site is currently five fields in a mixture of arable and pasture usage, with hedged boundaries. 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

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

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 as a cropmark within the eastern and one of the central fields on Google Earth imagery; it appears from the photographs to have been plough-levelled, but this is uncertain. It does not relate to any field boundaries shown on the historic OS maps. There is currently no Lidar data for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one findspot within the site, with four flint tools of unspecified date, recovered as surface finds in a ploughed field. One further findspot and two monuments are recorded within the buffer zone. The findspot is a further collection of flints, including a Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead and two worked flakes, found in the field just to the north of the site. The monuments are the suggested route of a Roman road from Templeborough to Doncaster, which is thought to have run in the vicinity of the current Road in the northern part of the buffer, and the site of a windmill at the western edge of the buffer, which was marked as disused by 1851 and demolished in the late 20th century. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southeast part of the buffer as relatively small fields created during the Parliamentary Enclosure of Conisbrough Common in 1858, with only fragmentary visibility of the former commons persisting in place names. The eastern part of the buffer is characterised as agglomerated fields created through the loss of field boundaries in the later 20th century, with partial legibility of former strip enclosures in surviving boundaries. The west and northwest parts of the buffer comprise modern private housing estates, with an estate of planned social housing in the northern area. To the south of the site is a mid-19th-century farm complex, now a horticultural nursery. Historic Landfill data records two areas of tipping within the buffer, along the line of a former railway. These are Common Road/Snake Lane disused railway cutting in the southeast part of the buffer, used for deposits of inert, industrial and commercial waste; and Crookhill Road railway cutting to the south, used for industrial, commercial and household waste and liquid sludge. The site is currently two fields in arable cultivation, with boundaries formed by drainage ditches and low hedges. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicted the site as part of a large area of unenclosed land, known as High Field, and described on the map as commons. The site had been enclosed by 1892 (in 1858, according to the HEC data), with the fields having largely the same layout as in the present. The exception was the southern field, which extended further to the west, with this boundary altered between 1948 and 1956 to the current extent. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed the Conisbrough corn windmill and an old limestone quarry within the common land to the southwest of the site, and Fairy Hole Flat limestone quarry and limekilns to the north of the site, off Drake Head Lane. Conisbrough Common was located in the southeast part of the buffer, with a group of enclosures or intakes between it and the High Field common. Both commons had been enclosed by 1892, when a row of terraces called Don View Cottages and a farm called Limestone Grange were shown at the northwest side of the buffer, off Sheffield Road and Drake Lane respectively. The windmill appeared to be disused by that date. By 1930, Hollyhead Farm and an adjacent isolation hospital had been constructed to the south of the site, and several detached or semi-detached housing was shown to the west of Limestone Grange. The LNER Gowdall and Braithwell line had been constructed through the southeast part of the buffer by that date. By 1956, a small amount of new housing was under construction between Crookhill Road and the old windmill, and to the north of Drake Head Lane, with further housing built in these areas by 1962. The isolation hospital was shown as Conisbrough General Hospital by that date. The railway appeared to be disused by 1972 and dismantled by 1980, though the cutting was still shown. By 1987, the cutting was shown as a tip site. The 1994 OS map showed housing extending up to the western boundary of the site, and further housing to the southwest of the hospital.

Survival: The site has been in arable cultivation since the mid-19th century, which may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of buried remains is considered to be moderate. Flint artefacts have been recovered from the southern field within the site and the field to the north, outside the site, suggesting there is the potential for the survival of associated deposits within 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 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as two fields in arable cultivation, with low hedged boundaries. To the southwest of the site, Conisbrough Hospital had been demolished and replaced with housing by 2002. A series of faint linear cropmarks are visible on this image, crossing the site from northwest to southeast, but it is unclear if these are archaeological or geological in origin. Possible ridge and furrow cropmarks are visible in the field to the east of the site. No cropmarks are visible on any of the later images, and no changes within the site are shown up to 2015. There is no Lidar data for this site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. The location of a World War II searchlight battery is recorded at the northern edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern half of the buffer as medium-sized piecemeal enclosure at Clifton Hill, with a semi-regular pattern, possibly enclosed following the disparkment of Consibrough Park, with no legibility of the former parkland landscape. Character areas within the northern part of the buffer include an area relatively small fields created during the Parliamentary Enclosure of Conisbrough Common in 1858, to the northeast of the site, a modern private housing estate to the immediate north of the site, and an estate of planned social housing in the northern area. A former fire clay quarry is located in the northwest part of the buffer, subsequently used as a landfill site. Historic Landfill data records two areas of landfill within the buffer. To the immediate southeast of the site is the former Crookhill Road railway cutting, used for tipping industrial, commercial and household waste and liquid sludge, and at the western side of the buffer is the Ashfield Quarry/Ashfield Brickworks tip, used for the disposal of a wide variety of industrial and household materials. The site is currently a field in arable use, with the northwest boundary formed by a housing estate and the southeast boundary by a strip of green space on the route of a disused railway line, part of which is covered by the site. The field is bounded to the northeast by Snake Lane and to the southwest by Clifton Hill. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as within at least three fields of slightly irregular shape bounded to the west by Clifton Hill road. The current southeast field boundary was formed by 1930, by the construction of the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell railway line. At this time, the field boundaries were removed creating a larger single field between the railway, Clifton Hill and Snake Lane. The current northwest boundary was established by 1969, by the construction of housing estate. The railway line was disused by 1969, and was gradually infilled with waste material. It was shown as levelled by 1994. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted a large area of unenclosed common land called High Field to the east of the site, and an area of enclosures of irregular size and shape to the west, called Medley Field. An area called Brick Field was shown at the northwest edge of the buffer, at the eastern extent of housing within Conisbrough which lay just outside the buffer. Carr Grange and an old limestone quarry were just outside the eastern edge of the buffer. An unnamed footpath or lane ran along the northern edge of the site, shown as Snake Lane in 1892. By that date, the common had been enclosed, and the Ashfield Fire Clay Works and clay pit were shown in the northwest part of the buffer. The clay pit had extended further south by 1902. By 1930, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell line had been constructed through the eastern part of the buffer, forming the southeast boundary of the site. A recreation ground had been constructed to the south of the fire clay works at that date, with a cricket ground, tennis court and bowling green and a pavilion, and Manor Farm had been built at the southern edge of the buffer. By 1962, the brickworks and clay pit were shown as disused, and the Windmill housing estate had been built in the north and northwest part of the buffer, and this was being extended towards the northwest boundary of the site in 1969. The clay pit was shows as a slag heap at that date. Further housing had been built in the northeast part of the buffer by 1987, when the railway cutting was partially infilled by waste material. The whole of the cutting had been infilled and levelled by 1994.

Survival: The majority of the site has been in arable cultivation since the mid-19th century, which may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. Below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of buried remains is considered to be moderate. Within the former railway cutting at the southeast edge of the site, the potential for the survival of buried remains is negligible. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Google Earth imagery shows the majority of the site as a field in arable cultivation from 2002-2015. The southern edge of the site extends into the area of a former railway line, which is shown as a linear green space covered by grass, with trees along the boundaries and a footpath along the former railway route. No changes are shown within the field from 2002 to 2015, with the only changes on the railway line being alterations in vegetation coverage. There is currently no Lidar data for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and extending across the entire buffer: the site of the Doncaster Roman pottery production industry, an area where intensive pottery production has been recorded and numerous kilns excavated. Two further monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer. The monuments are a possible post-medieval dovecote within the old village of Auckley and a pit containing a high concentration of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age pottery and flint, found during an evaluation at Main Street, Auckley, in the northwest part of the buffer. This evaluation was also the event recorded on the SMR. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. There are two grade II listed buildings within the southern part of the buffer, the church of St Saviour and the Old Vicarage. These are located within visual distance of the proposed development site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Three large sand and gravel extraction areas are recorded within the buffer, to the immediate southwest of the site and to the northwest side of the buffer. These were photographed in the 1940s and 1970s. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as the Brookehouse Farm complex, which was shown in 1854 and may have been established shortly after the enclosure of the area by Parliamentary Award in 1778. There is no legibility of the probable former open field landscape. Further character zones within the buffer comprise a large area of mid- to late 20th-century sand and gravel extraction to the southwest of the site, St Saviour's Church to the south, and modern detached housing to the north, east and south. A mid-20th-century planned social housing estate and late 19th-century to modern school are located at the eastern edge of the buffer, and an area of medium sized fields enclosed prior to 1778 at the northwest edge, which has been largely impacted by quarrying in the mid-20th century. Historic Landfill data records one area of landfill within the southern part of the buffer, part of the former Auckley Quarry sand and gravel pit. The site is currently a pasture field and farm complex, bounded on the northeast by Main Street and on the southwest by a plantation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts a farmhouse and outbuildings along the eastern edge of the site, fronting onto Main Street. The farmhouse was towards the central part of the site with outbuildings including several barn ranges to the south. The farm complex was surrounded by a field to the north and west. The 1892 map showed further small structures to the south of the barns, possibly pig sties or chicken sheds. These had been removed by 1902. The 1930 map showed buildings, probably associated with Brooke Farm, in the field at the southwest corner of the site, with a chimney and tank labelled. The farm was first labelled in 1962, as Brooke Farm. Some of the barns had been demolished by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicts a cluster of buildings around the church and Parsonage to the south of the site, and another to the north at the Green, with several buildings also shown in a ribbon development along Ellers Lane to the east. A gravel pit was shown to the east of the church settlement, and the remainder of the buffer was fields. Bell Butts Lane ran along the northern edge of the field containing Brooke Farm, with a pinfold at the junction between it and Main Street. A school was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer by 1892, when the church was shown as a Mission Chapel. The 1962 map depicted two irregular ponds and an area of boggy ground to the immediate southwest of the site, the first indication of large-scale sand and gravel quarrying in this area, which either occurred between mapping episodes or was not depicted, the latter being more likely as the quarrying was shown on a 1940s photograph but not on the 1950s OS maps. A large disused quarry was also shown in the northwest part of the buffer, and the small quarry shown to the south of the school had been greatly expanded and become disused by 1962. New housing, detached and semi-detached, was shown to the

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

southeast of the site. By 1975, a series of large rectangular ponds associated with quarrying were shown further to the southwest, and the ponds shown in 1962 had silted up and were tree-covered. More housing had been built to the east of the site, with the area to the east of Main Street mainly fully developed by that date, and the school had been expanded. The quarries to the northwest and southeast of the buffer had been infilled and landscaped. Survival: The extent of survival of historic fabric within the farmhouse is currently uncertain, but both it and the surviving barn may be considered heritage assets in their own right, probably being constructed as a later 18th-century model farm. Remains of footings of the demolished barns may survive within the vicinity of the surviving barn, and ruins of the later 19th-century buildings at the southwest corner of the site also survive. The buildings may have truncated or destroyed any earlier remains within their footprint, but in the remainder of the site, the potential for the survival of buried archaeology is considered to be moderate to good. The site lies within an area known as a centre for Roman pottery production, and Neolithic to Bronze Age activity has been recorded within the buffer to the northwest. 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 heritage value of the standing buildings. A consideration of the impact of development on the setting of the grade II listed church and Old Parsonage to the south of the site should also be made. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with prehistoric to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional significance, depending on its extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the farmhouse within a garden enclosure, with a smaller building to the west of the farm also within the enclosure and one barn surviving to the south, with a smaller structure at the southern end of the complex. The barns formerly shown in the southwest corner of the site are depicted as ruins in 2002. The surrounding area was shown as two pasture fields at that date and in 2005, and as a single field in 2008. The Main Street frontage of the farmhouse is obscured by mature trees, but Street View shows a brick boundary wall along the farmhouse frontage and a more substantial stone wall along east side of the southern half of the site. The surviving barn is brick built with a pitched terracotta pantile roof. it is two storeys in height with open arches on the ground floor and small windows or hatches on the upper storey, in the eastern elevation. Two brick buttresses stand against the northern gable end. A small brick-built barn or stable is located at the southern end of the farm complex, possibly with a pitched roof, and is in a poor condition. There is currently no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and southern part of the buffer, the location of Doncaster Airfield, a military airfield opened in 1939 and was used during the Second World War. It then became a licensed airfield for light aircraft until its closure in the late 1980s, after which the area was developed as a leisure and business park. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site, though it is within the outline showing the location of the military airfield, which also extends through the southern part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a sewage works, first depicted in 1930 with no legibility of the previous character of drained wetland. Character areas within the buffer include a large area of regenerated scrubland on the site of a former tip in the south. Two schools first depicted in 1972 are recorded to the immediate south and southeast of the site, and industrial site and depot (now a museum) to the immediate east. In the northern part of the buffer is planned social housing first shown in the 1930s, with a wedge-shaped area of allotment gardens in the western buffer. Four historic landfill sites are recorded within the buffer, the nearest being an area classified as part of the sewage works, to the immediate west of the site. Two large areas classified as both Doncaster Airport Tip and Sandy Lane tip site are located across the southwest part of the buffer, and Middle Bank landfill site extends into the western edge of the buffer. The site is currently occupied by disused sewage works structures and rough grass vegetation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as a field bounded to the east by Sandy Lane, with a drainage ditch running along the southern and western boundaries. The 1892 map also shows a drainage ditch along the northern boundary. By 1930, a sewage pumping station was shown within the site. This comprised two buildings towards the street frontage, with a series of three filter tanks and four pairs of filter beds to the west. The current boundaries of the site had been established by 1938. The layout of the works was largely unchanged by 1961, though this map showed an embankment along the west and part of the south boundaries, and an outfall feeding into the drainage ditch to the south. A 1976 map labelled the northern building as the screen house and the southern building as the pump house, and showed tanks to the north and south of the northern building. There were no changes shown within the site by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows Carr House Cottage and Carr House and its gardens to the north and northwest of the site. Carr House Lane crosses the northern tip of the buffer, with the remainder of the area being fields. The enclosures to the southwest of the site were part of Carr House Field and those to the southeast part of Low Pasture. By 1892, Carr House was in use as a fever hospital. A farm called Carrhouse Grove was shown at the southern edge of the buffer at that date. The 1902 map showed that most of the field boundaries in Low Pasture had been removed. By 1930, housing development had taken place to the northeast of the site and in the northwest part of the buffer, mainly semi-detached houses, and the area to the west of the site was shown as allotment gardens. Carr House and Cottage had been demolished by 1938 and also replaced by semi-detached houses. By 1956 several works or depots were shown to the east of the site, probably part of Doncaster Airfield, which was not shown on the map, perhaps for security reasons. The airfield was first shown on the 1961 map, extending up to the southern boundary of the site. By 1976, Elmfield School had been built to the immediate south of the site, and St Peter's School to the southeast. The area to the south of Elmfield School was shown as a disused tip, which was shown in 1984 but had been levelled and landscaped by 1992, when the area was still shown as part of Doncaster Airport.

Survival: The site has been occupied by a sewage pumping station since at least 1930, with several tanks and filter beds shown within the site, which are likely to have truncated or removed sub-surface deposits. There are also likely to be buried service pipes within the site which will also have impacted on sub-surface deposits. The area is former wetland, and it is possible that some archaeological or palaeoenvironmental deposits could remain at a considerable depth below the current surface, so the extent of likely truncation is currently unknown. In general, the potential for survival of significant buried archaeology within the site is considered to be low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development, though an assessment of the heritage value of the buildings may be advised. Significance: The surviving sewage works buildings may be considered to be of minor Local heritage value, as early 20th- century municipal infrastructure. The significance of any buried archaeology is considered to be Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery depicts two sewage works buildings within the site, though these appear to be disused by that date. One of the buildings has a series of rectangular tanks to the west. The area surrounding the structures was covered with rough grass, with a hedged boundary around the site. To the west, the tip site is shown as levelled but largely un-vegetated. This area became gradually grassed over by 2009. No changes were shown within the site itself by 2015. The buildings are obscured by trees in Street View imagery, but at least two double-height brick built buildings with inset blind arches with stone or paler brick lintels are visible from the entrance. These buildings were first shown in 1930. Lidar data shows the settling tanks at the southern side of the site and three smaller tanks or hollows to the northeast, around the northern building, the Screen House.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the southern part of the buffer; the Scheduled motte and bailey castle at Castle Hills. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One Scheduled Monument, the medieval motte and bailey castle at Castle Hills, is recorded in the southern part of the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and area to the south as playing fields, established by 1966 on the site of former allotment gardens and municipal water works, with no legibility of earlier land uses. Further character zones within the buffer mainly relate to housing, with early 20th-century terraced housing to the south, 1920s-40s planned social housing estates and semi-detached housing to the west and of the site and at the south edge of the buffer, modern social and private housing estates and semi-detached housing to the north, east and southwest. Industrial elements within the buffer comprise the former site of a glassworks and the tip of a reclaimed coal mine in the southeast edge. A school is located at the southern edge, adjacent to the medieval castle site. Allotment gardens extend into the western edge, and an area of surviving common land into the southeast edge. The northeast part of the buffer comprises agglomerated fields with considerable boundary loss since 1850 leading to a loss of the former character of strip fields enclosed from open field. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the northeast part of the buffer, the Coalfields Brickworks Quarry, comprising inert and industrial waste. The site is currently playing fields, bounded by housing to the north, east and south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a large field in an area called Clay Field. By 1892, an old quarry was shown within the central part of the site, with a small water works adjacent to the east. A second small hollow was shown at the southeast side of the site by 1903. By 1930, much of the site comprised allotment gardens, though the water works and old quarry were still shown. The allotment gardens were not shown in 1957, with the site comprising open ground around the water works. The works was shown as 'warehouse' in 1966, but as Water Works in 1980, by which date it had been expanded. The works had been demolished by 1994. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows fields to the north, east and west of the site, and Doncaster Road at the southern end of the buffer. Castle Hill is shown to the south of this road, and a building called Willows was depicted to the north. Old coal shafts were shown to the west of the site in 1892, by which date some new terraced housing was shown at Town End to the east of the site, with a larger building called Clayfield House to the northeast. The Willows was no longer shown, but detached and terraced housing was shown in the southwest part of the buffer. The Bull Green Glass Works was shown to the east of Castle Hill, but was no longer depicted in 1903. A brick works was shown adjacent to the housing at Town End in 1903, and further housing was located at the eastern edge and southwest sides of the buffer. The Coalfield Brick Works had expanded by 1930, and new housing was shown to the south of the site and in the northwest part of the buffer. Further housing was under construction to the northwest of the site by 1948, and the brick works clay pit had extended north up to the edge of Clayfield House. A playground was shown to the south of the site by 1957, and new streets were shown to the north and east of the site, as well as new housing in the southeast part of the buffer. The site was surrounded by housing to the north, east and west by 1966. Clayfield House had been demolished by 19666, and the brickworks expanded further. The clay pit was disused by 1980, though the works still stood in 1994. Survival: The central and southern part of the site is likely to have been disturbed by the small quarry and the waterworks

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

shown in 1892. The waterworks extended into the central part of the site. There is likely to have been buried pipes associated with the waterworks, and connecting it to a small reservoir depicted to the northwest of the buffer from 1892 onwards, and these will also have truncated buried deposits. Within the northern part of the site, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Iron Age to Roman cropmarks associated with small scale settlement and agricultural activity have been recorded just to the northeast of the buffer and such remains could extend into the site. The medieval castle of Mexborough is located within the southern part of the buffer, but it is likely that the site lay outside the medieval settlement area. Buried remains of the late 19th-century waterworks buildings are likely to survive 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 water works may be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 to 2009 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as part of an area of playing fields, with a football pitch extending into the southern part. No remains of the waterworks are visible. Street View imagery from the adjacent streets shows the site as a sloping field, sloping downhill from north to south. There is currently no Lidar data for this site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008 & 2009. Street View: 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the northern part of the buffer, the suggested route of a Roman road from Templeborough to Doncaster, which is thought to have run in the vicinity of the current Sheffield Road. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. A series of rectangular structures were recorded in the northeast part of the buffer, forming part of a military camp and workers' hostels associated with World War II activity. The camp has since been built over by housing on Norbreck and Lunbreck Roads. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and area to the north as early 20th-century allotment gardens probably contemporary with the first phase of colliery housing at Edlington, with the boundaries partially preserving the legibility of a strip field shown in 1854. Further character areas in the buffer include mid-20th-century terraced and semi-detached housing to the north and northeast and a late 20th- century private housing estate to the west, an industrial estate and semi-detached housing to the south, a cemetery and part of an area of agglomerated fields in the southeast. The edge of a modern dolomite quarry extends into the northwest end of the buffer. The site is currently a covered reservoir at the southeast side of a block of allotment gardens. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a long, rectangular strip field forming part of an area called Beck Field. Between 1956 and 1962, a covered reservoir was constructed within the site, with allotment gardens shown to the north. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows mainly strip fields forming part of Beck Field. Edlington Lane ran through the eastern side of the buffer on a northeast to southwest alignment, cutting through the fields, and Warmsworth Beck ran in a largely canalised route through the southern part of the buffer. Sheffield Road at the northern end of the buffer was shown as the Tinsley to Bawtry turnpike, with a small limestone quarry depicted just to the north of the road. A lime kiln was shown in the quarry on the 1892 map. The quarry and limekiln were disused by 1903. By 1930, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell railway line had been constructed along the southern edge of the site, with Warmsworth Goods Station to the southwest. A mineral railway from Yorkshire Main Colliery connected to the main railway to the south of the site. Terraced housing had been built in the northeast part of the buffer, with allotment gardens to the south, and a new cemetery was shown to the south of the railway, and by 1956 a row of semi-detached houses with long gardens was shown to the northeast, off Sheffield Road, and several narrow rectangular buildings were shown to the northeast of the site, probably the remains of the military camp recorded on a 1947 aerial photograph. This had been replaced with semi-detached housing by 1966, with further housing built between the mineral railway and Edlington Lane. By 1980, semi-detached housing had been built along Sheffield Road at the north end of the allotment gardens to the north of the site. Both railway lines had been dismantled by 1980. The 1994 OS map showed an industrial estate to the south of the railway and a new housing estate to the west of the site. Survival: The site contains a covered reservoir, the construction of which is likely to have truncated or destroyed any archaeological remains within its footprint. The potential for survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development.

Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as a covered reservoir, grassed over, with allotment gardens to the north and a narrow area of green space to the south along the former railway route. A new road, Warmsworth Halt, also runs along part of the railway route and housing estates are shown to the east and west of the site. No changes were shown within the site up to 2009, with the 2015 image obscured by clouds. Street View imagery from 2008 shows the reservoir as a low grassed bank. The bank is also shown in the Lidar data. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008 & 2009. Street View: 2008. Lidar data tile SK5499 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments and seven events within or partially covering the site. The monuments relate to archaeological fieldwork, with one located in the western part of the site, comprising the remains of a field system and a number of circular features including at least one roundhouse. Pottery from the site dated to the Iron Age and Roman periods, including a metalworking crucible of Iron Age date. The second monument covers only a small area at the northeast side of the site and extends north into the buffer, and related to a number of rectilinear field boundary ditches, with at least two phases of enclosure, and round houses contemporary with the second (late Iron Age to early Roman) phase of activity. The first phase of fields dated from the mid- to late Iron Age period. The events within the site include an evaluation apparently covering the entire site area, which identified two enclosures, and a number of other linear ditches and pits. Palaeoenvironmental evidence suggested the enclosures were for stock control, and that the site was used seasonally, depending on the height of the water table. The exact location of these features and the coverage of the trial trenching is not clear from the event record. Geophysical survey and evaluation was undertaken across the western end of the site and the southwest part of the buffer, but no results for these are mentioned in the event records. Geophysical survey to the immediate southwest of the site, and just intruding into the southern tip, recorded limited evidence for linear boundary ditches, whilst a watching brief during construction of a spine road through the western part of the site recorded the field boundary ditches and at least one roundhouse, along with Roman pottery and an Iron Age crucible, relating to one of the monuments. A watching brief covering the eastern edge of the site did not identify any archaeological features. In addition to the two monuments already mentioned, five further monuments and one findspot are recorded within the buffer. The findspot was of a rim sherd from a Roman urn from the northern part of the buffer. The monuments included ditched enclosures at Loversall in the eastern part of the buffer, of middle Iron Age date, and cropmarks of a probable farmstead of a similar date further to the east; Iron Age to Roman cropmarks and an artefact scatter including prehistoric flints and Roman to medieval pottery in the southern tip of the buffer (though the cropmarks are not recorded on the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project); a square enclosure and field boundaries associated with Roman activity and a ditch possibly forming a boundary for a medieval deer park, to the northeast of the site. Some of these remains are recorded from the 14 further events recorded in the buffer. These include geophysical survey, evaluation, excavation and watching briefs, and have been undertaken in areas to the southwest, north, northeast and southeast of the site. Remains recorded mainly date to the Iron Age to Roman period and include field systems and small-scale settlement associated with the wider agricultural landscape in the area east of Doncaster. Remains associated with a post-medieval farm and 18th- to 19th-century field drainage were also recorded. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two roughly parallel linear ditches in the central part of the site, and a linear ditch further to the east, all of uncertain date. Geophysical survey has indicated that further remains of field boundaries survive within the site, not visible as cropmarks. Within the buffer, field ditches and more complex enclosures have been recorded to the north of the site, forming part of the Iron Age to Roman agricultural landscape recorded across the wider area east of Doncaster. Earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded in the southeast part of the buffer from photographs taken in the 1940s. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the eastern half of the site and south, southeast and northwest parts of the buffer as drained wetland, probably enclosed as part of the massive drainage programme in the 17th century. Many of the field boundaries shown in 1854 survive. The western half of the site and northeast part of the buffer are characterised as agglomerated fields, where widespread boundary removals have led to a reduction of the former character of drained wetland, which would have been the same as

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

the eastern part of the site, though there is partial legibility in the pattern of field drains. Other character zones within the buffer comprise a post-medieval plantation at the southeast edge of the buffer, modern private housing estates and an early 20th-century to modern hospital at the western side, and a supermarket at the southwest edge. The most recent imagery (2009) shows the site as up to eleven fields, largely in use as rough pasture. Woodfield Way runs through the site, but is too recent to be visible on the aerial imagery. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows numerous small, regular fields within the site, along with three narrow plantation belts on the same alignment as the field boundaries. Buildings at Carr Lodge, in the central/south part of the site comprised four ranges arranged in a square, with a small surrounding area of gardens. A fish pond was shown to the west of the lodge, possibly just within the southern site boundary. The northern site boundary was formed by a substantial drainage ditch called Division Drain. Some field boundaries in the western part of the site had been removed by 1894. The LMSR Dearne Valley Railway had been constructed through the eastern part of the site on a northeast to southwest alignment by 1930, subdividing several of the fields. Carr Lodge had been expanded into its courtyard by 1938. A small building shown as Carr Lodge Cottages was depicted to the north of Carr Lodge in 1967. The railway line had been dismantled by 1989, though the embankment was still extant. The buildings at Carr Lodge had been extended to the north by 1984. The 1854 OS map shows most of the buffer as fields, mainly similar small regular fields to those within the site, forming part of areas known as Potteric and Loversall Carrs. Beeston Plantation was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer, and St Catherine's house to the west, and several smaller plantations were interspersed amongst the fields. A small contagious diseases hospital had been built to the northwest of the site by 1902. A triangular railway junction and sidings had been built to the east of the site by 1930. By 1939, St Catherine's was shown as a Certified Institution, with several new buildings added around the main house. Most of the trees in Beeston Plantation appear to have been felled by 1956, though it was still depicted on the map, and was afforested again by 1961. the contagious disease hospital had become a community centre by that date. By 1967, housing had extended into the northwest edge of the buffer. A new hospital had been built to the west of the site, northeast of St Catherine's, by 1974. The 1984 map showed a new road under construction to the east and northeast of the site, becoming the A6182 and cutting through Beeston Plantation by 1989. Survival: The site has been drained and in agricultural use since probably the 17th century, and this may have impacted on the preservation of archaeological remains, though excavation within the western part of the site has indicated that buried archaeology does survive below the zone impacted by ploughing. Further remains are likely to survive within the undisturbed areas of the site. The footings of Carr Lodge may also survive. Further investigations: Some archaeological evaluation has already been undertaken within the site, and it is highly likely that further archaeological investigation will be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Iron Age to Roman agricultural landscape and small-scale settlement could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Remains associated with Carr Lodge are likely to be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as 11 fields, mainly in rough grass coverage, with two narrow plantation belts within the eastern part of the site. Carr Lodge and cottages had been demolished, with the footings visible as paler scars. Field boundaries in the eastern part of the site are defined by a mixture of hedges and drainage ditches, whilst those to the west are bounded only by ditches. Some development was underway to the northeast of the site, with light industrial or retail unit shown in 2003 and further buildings including a motel and restaurant shown in 2008. At that date the footings of the Carr Lodge buildings had grassed over, and an area of scrubby trees was shown to the west of the former house. Housing had been built up to the

western edge of the site by that date, and a supermarket was constructed to the southwest. Further development was underway to the north of the site by 2009. The 2015 image was completely obscured by clouds. Street View imagery shows the new road, Woodfield Way, that was constructed through the western part of the site after 2009. This shows the fields to either side as covered with rough scrub and grasses. Lidar data shows the drainage ditches forming the field boundaries, and the footprint of Carr Lodge. There is some uneven ground in the western field, including a slightly platform at the southwest corner and two small hollows towards the northeast side, but it is unclear if these are of archaeological interest. Further small hollows are shown in fields at the northeast side of the site, but again these are very slight and of uncertain origin.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one findspot, three monuments and four events within the site. Roman pottery was found in the north-central part of the site, to the northeast of the location of a manor house shown in 1854, the foundations of which are likely to survive. Woodland survey indicated that an area of semi-natural woodland with evidence for woodland management is located in the eastern part of the site. Trial trench evaluation within the east side of site has revealed Romano-British enclosures, field systems and highly significant evidence for iron working. The northeast edge of the site and buffer fall into a wide area forming the focus of Roman pottery manufacture, with its height of production occurring in the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Many pottery kilns have been found within this area, though none are currently recorded within the site itself. Two further archaeological events within the site include geophysical survey over the central and eastern parts of the site, identifying Iron Age to Roman field systems, and an augur survey to examine peat deposits in the central area, which recorded that peat appears to have formed slowly in this area and is unlikely to seal archaeological features. One further monument is recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer, comprising evidence for a palaeochannel recorded following archaeological evaluation. A further event, geophysical survey and fieldwalking along the FARRS link road, crosses the southern tip of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. A small area of ridge and furrow remains is recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site and parts of the northwest and southeast buffer as drained wetland, an area of large fields bounded by drainage ditches probably created as part of Vermuyden's extensive drainage improvement programmes of the early 17th century, and formerly a wet common. Manor Farm is noted as having stood within the area in 1854. The eastern corner of the site is part of an area known as the Warren, currently a wooded area forming part of Doncaster Golf Club. The woodland was shown in 1854 and may have been a managed resource of Bessacarr Grange. Further character areas within the buffer include the main part of the golf course to the southeast of the site, agglomerated fields originating as drained wetland at the southern tip, and agglomerated fields and wet woodland at Potteric Carr in the western side. A modern private housing estate is located in the northern part of the buffer, with areas of 1930s-40s detached houses to the northeast. An area of ancient woodland extends into the northeast tip of the buffer, divided into two plots by the M18. The site is currently around 14 fields, in rough pasture use, with two areas of woodland at the eastern side. A cycle path runs through the eastern part of the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a series of relatively small fields with boundaries defined mainly by drainage ditches, but some by hedges. Bessacarr Lane ran through the northeast edge of the site, with a Manor House shown just to the south of a bend in the lane. The eastern edge of the site was part of a large area of woodland called the Warren, with a smaller woodland called Back Wood to the southeast of (and possibly associated with) the manor house. A smaller plantation or copse called Green Busks was located to the southwest of the manor house. More buildings were shown at Manor House in 1930, possibly cottages or further barns. By 1930, the Warren is shown as part of a golf course, with few trees remaining in it, confined to belts along the edges. In 1956, the fields to the northwest of Green Busks were shown as heath, but this was not depicted in 1962. The Warren had been divided into two plots by the M18 by 1980, with the area falling within the site shown as a mixture of heath and woodland/scrub. Manor House had been demolished by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the small historic core of Bessacarr at the northern edge, and the Great Northern Railway along the southwest boundary of the site. The majority of the remaining area comprised fields similar to those within the site, with woodland areas to the east and northeast at the Warren and Hitchen Wood.

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

By 1892, the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway had been built along the northern boundary of the site. Much of the Warren was shown as heath vegetation rather than wooded at that date and in 1903, and by 1930 it was shown as a golf course. The 1930 map also showed a new junction between the Great Northern and GN & GE Joint Railway, forming the western boundary of the site. By 1948, detached houses had been built along the Great North Road in the northeast part of the buffer, and a sand pit was shown to the southeast of Bessacarr, and this had expanded by 1956. It was disused by 1962. By 1980, the M18 had been constructed along the east and southeast boundary of the site, dividing the Warren into two areas. Further housing had been built to the north and northwest of the site, and this had been extended to cover most of the northern part of the buffer by 1993. Survival: The eastern part of the site has been developed, with archaeological fieldwork undertaken prior to this recording remains of Iron Age to Roman enclosures, field boundaries and a highly significant iron working site. The main area of the site does not appear to have been disturbed, and geophysical survey suggests that the field systems continue into this area. A possible former road of unknown date is visible as an earthwork within the Warren at the eastern tip of the site, and remains associated with Manor House are also thought likely to survive within the site. The Manor House was shown in 1854, but its date of origin is currently unknown. The potential for the survival of archaeological features within the undeveloped areas of the site is considered to be high. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman iron working could be of Regional to National significance, whilst remains of the field systems and associated settlement could be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition. Depending on its date of origin and the nature of surviving remains, features associated with Manor House could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as rough pasture land, with most of the historic field boundaries still visible, though some were represented only by scattered lines of trees or partial hedges. Most of the boundaries are hedgerows, presumably associated with drainage ditches. Some possible building footings were visible on the site of Manor Farm. Back Wood and Green Busks were still depicted as woodland, and much of the Warren area within the site was also wooded, with a small area of rough grass close to the M18. In 2007, the southwest field within the site was shown as largely bare of grass, though the reason for this is not clear, and the field had grassed over again by 2008. Part of a track was shown at the southern end of the site in 2007, which by 2008 had extended northeast to join Bessacarr Lane. This is a cycle track. The 2015 image is largely obscured by cloud, but shows some probable development work within the eastern part of the site, east of the cycle track, with possible housing development to the northeast in the area between Bessacarr Lane and Warren Lane. Lidar data covers most of the site, and shows the drainage ditches along the field boundaries, as well as trackways within Back Wood. The footprint of Manor House is visible in the northern part of the site, as well as a series of hollows within the Warren. It is unclear if these are related to the golf course or are of earlier origin; some are probably relatively recent, but a long linear feature aligned northwest to southeast appears to be the remains of a former trackway shown in 1854 as 'Site of Old Road', rather than the nearby Shooters Hill Riding route through the woodland. The feature continues through the golf course to the southeast. It leads roughly towards the Roman fort at Rossington, but it is unknown if the road had Roman origins or is a later feature.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument and two events are recorded within the buffer. The monument is a set of stone sleeper blocks associated with a cable incline taking limestone from a quarry to lime kilns. The events comprised a geophysical survey which identified features possibly associated with former field systems, and a watching brief which did not identify any archaeological deposits. No Scheduled Monument or listed buildings are within the site. One grade II listed building, St Alban’s Church, is within the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded 20th- century air raid shelters within both the site and the buffer. In the site, they are located at the southeast and southwest corners. These may have been impacted by recent development at the site. To the southeast of the site are several lynchets at North Cliff Hill, recorded as earthworks. Historic Environment Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as schools, developed in the late 1940s. Further character zones within the buffer include unenclosed land at North Cliff Hill to the south, with allotment gardens and school playing fields at the southern edge, modern planned social housing estate to the north and northeast, and playing fields and allotment gardens to the west. The most recent imagery of the site (2015) showed it as being under development. It was formerly occupied by a school. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as part of fields of irregular appearance, probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion from medieval open field. This was unchanged in 1902, but by 1930 the central and eastern parts of the site were occupied by a school, with three separate buildings shown in a separate enclosure at the western side and a fourth in a further enclosure in the northwest corner. The 1962 map shows the school as Balby Street primary school, with two different buildings to the west and northwest. By 1990, the school had been demolished and site was shown as an enclosed vacant plot with a small building at the northwest corner. The 1854 map shows irregular fields and unenclosed land across the whole of the buffer, with no development apart from a railway line along the northern edge. A sandstone quarry was shown at North Cliff Hill. By 1892, an inclined plane was shown to the west of the site, leading from North Cliff Quarry to limekilns close to Doncaster Road. Terraced housing had been built at the northwest edge of the buffer. By 1902, further terraced housing had been built up to the north edge of the site, with most of the remainder of the buffer being fields and unenclosed land. The 1930 map showed a Mission Room to the west of the site and allotment gardens to the east and further to the west and northwest. The limekilns and inclined plane were no longer shown, with further development having occurred along Doncaster Road. By 1975, the terraced housing to the north had been demolished, though the road layout was still shown and a new school had been built on the former allotments to the east. The former terraced housing site had been redeveloped with a new housing estate by 1994. Survival: The site has been developed in the 20th century, with school buildings covering most of the site in 1930. These were demolished in the late 20th century, and housing construction appeared to be underway at the site in 2015. The construction and demolition are likely to have disturbed sub-surface deposits across the site, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology 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. Note: Site 844 covers the same area as Site 634.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph showed the site as rough grass on the western side and concrete or tarmac surfacing on the eastern side, around the remains of a possible structure comprising two towers and a wall, probably the remains of the former school building. By 2015, the site appears to be under redevelopment, having been stripped of topsoil with completed and under construction buildings in the centre and along the eastern and southern sides. These appear to be houses, though the image resolution of this photograph is very poor. There is no available Lidar data for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and extending across the northern half of the buffer: the site of the Doncaster Roman pottery production industry, an area where intensive pottery production has been recorded and numerous kilns excavated. Three events are recorded within the buffer, with geophysical survey and trial trenching undertaken at Hayfield Lane to the east of the site, in advance of development of Robin Hood Airport business park, with a ditch of unknown date recorded. A further geophysical survey was undertaken at Hurst Lane at the southern edge of the buffer, which recorded possible pits and a curvilinear ditch. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and northern part of the buffer as a planned social housing estate constructed as airmen's married quarters for RAF Finningley, with no legibility of the former fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1778. Further character zones within the buffer comprise a former area of barrack blocks to the northeast, mid-20th-century schools to the northwest and southwest, housing built for married officers at the airfield to the south and further airmen's housing to the southwest. Areas of fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award extend into the western and southern edges of the buffer. The most recent imagery of the site shows that it has been recently developed with low-rise flats, with a grassed verge to the south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field in an area called Two Moor Field. Hayfield Lane was shown along the southern boundary. No changes were shown by 1930. In 1948, a building was shown within the site, fronting onto Fir Tree Avenue by 1961. The building was large and clearly not housing. No further changes were shown by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed mainly fields, with regular boundaries largely indicative of Parliamentary Enclosure. Hayfield Lane and Hurst Road ran through the buffer. Housing development had begun to the west of the site by 1948, with a short crescent shown, and a building was also shown to the south. By 1862, the housing estate had been expanded to cover the area to the north and south of the site, with further housing under construction. A sports ground and barracks were shown at the eastern side of the buffer, and a primary school to the southwest. A comprehensive school had been built to the northwest by 1975. No substantial changes were shown by 1993. Survival: As the site has been developed since 2009, the potential for the survival of any buried archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned on this site. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The club building was still shown on the 2002 Google Earth aerial view, with a row of garages to the north and grass verges around the building and along the Hayfield Lane frontage. The building appears to have a pitched roof, possibly covered with corrugated metal, and had a lower, narrower extension to the east. It was demolished between 2007 and 2008, when the foundations of a new development were shown on its site. This was still shown as foundations, on an overgrown building site, in 2009, suggesting that the development was halted. By 2015, a new building was shown on the site. Street View shows this as a three storey structure, presumably apartments. A separate one and a half-storey building was located to the east. Lidar data shows no features of archaeological interest within the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Street View: 2009, 2016.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two findspots are recorded within the eastern part of the buffer zone; however, both of these have limited location information and do not appear to have been found within the buffer. They comprise a Roman coin hoard of at least 30 denarii found at Rutland House, which is located outside the southern edge of the buffer, and a single Roman coin found at Wheatley Hall Road, which commences to the north of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed building is recorded in the southwest part of the buffer, the church of St Mary. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the eastern side of the buffer zone as detached and semi-detached villas with large gardens. The earliest housing development in this area was along Avenue Road, depicted on the 1894 OS map, with other villas in the character area mostly constructed by 1930. The site is within Doncaster Thorne Road conservation area. There is no legibility of the former character of strip fields consolidated over time from the furlongs of open fields. The remainder of the buffer zone is characterised as terraced housing, constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in a tightly packed grid- iron plan, with two schools and religious establishments, in each case grouped as a pair of church and school, to the north of the site and in the southwest part of the buffer. The site is currently occupied by a large house, possibly in use as a school, with a garden and garage to the west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1852 town plan and 1854 1:10,560 maps show the site as part of a field, with a footpath running along the northwest boundary. The footpath had become Beckett's Road by 1894, and Avenue Road had been established along the northeast site boundary. By 1906, the site had been developed, with one half of a pair of large semi- detached houses shown within the site. An outbuilding or garage was shown at the western end of the site by 1937. No further changes were shown within the site by 1992. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows mainly fields characteristic of enclosure from open field, and some possible allotments or market gardens. By 1894, development was encroaching into the buffer, with villa-style detached and semi-detached housing shown to the northeast of Avenue Road, and terraced housing in the southwest part of the buffer. A horticultural nursery and allotments were shown to the northwest of the site, with the remaining area still being fields. Housing had been built to the southwest of Avenue Road by 1906, with further terraced housing to the northwest and southwest of the site. St Mary's Church and associated school were also shown at that date. The area to the northeast of Avenue Road was still fields, but this had also been developed with terraced housing by 1930, when a Methodist Chapel and school were shown to the north of the site. By 1962 a Friends Meeting House had been built to the immediate west of the site. Apart from the expansion of the schools, there were no significant changes in the buffer by 1992. Survival: The eastern side of the site is occupied by a substantial house, which is likely to have truncated sub-surface deposits within its footprint. The western part of the site is currently a garden with a small garage at the western end. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains within this area is considered to be low to moderate, as the area is likely to have had some disturbance in association with the construction of the surrounding houses. The house itself was built between 1894 and 1906. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Unknown. The house is considered to be of minor Local heritage value, and may be a positive contributor to the character of the Thorne Road Conservation Area.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Street View shows the house as a substantial, three-storey semi-detached structure, with the other half of the pair located to the southeast. The Avenue Road frontage has bay windows to either side of a door with an arched lintel and fanlight. Two pairs of windows at first floor height are located over the bays, with moulded stone lintels. The roof is pitched, with a dormer window, and mock timber-framing below the eaves and surrounding the window. The northwest gable on the Beckett Road frontage also has mock timber framing at attic level, and three narrow windows with moulded stone lintels at first floor height. The ground floor has a wide glazed porch, with wooden details and stained glass upper windows. The southwest elevation has a collection of fairly small windows, with brick arched lintels, and a pair of dormer window at attic level. West of the house is a garden area, with a single-storey garage at the western end. There is a brick boundary wall around the property. Lidar data does not show any features of archaeological interest. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Street View: 2016. Lidar tile SE5804 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded crossing the southern part of the buffer, the route of the Roman Ridge, a linear earthwork bank and ditch running from Wincobank north of Sheffield to Mexborough. The actual date and purpose of the feature is currently unknown. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Features recorded in the buffer range from probable Iron Age to Roman cropmark ditches and an enclosure at the eastern edge, to military practice trenches and associated mounds in the southwest, and Second World War military buildings and a searchlight battery to the southwest and northwest of the site, respectively. Post-medieval ridge and furrow remains were recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and adjacent area of the buffer as a fire station and nursing homes, mainly of mid-20th-century date with some modern additions. Further character zones within the buffer comprise mid-20th-century planned social housing to the north, east and west of the site and at the southern edge of the buffer, early 20th-century terraced housing to the south of the site, a modern school to the north, recreation ground to the southwest and piecemeal enclosure at the western edge. One area of historic landfill is recorded at the southwest edge of the buffer, at Wath Road. The site is currently a vacant plot following the demolition of the former fire station. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an irregularly-shaped field, with Highwoods Road shown as a track running through the field. The southwest field boundary had been removed by 1903, and the remaining boundaries by 1930, to create a much larger field. By 1957, the site was part of an area of green space between houses and Highwoods Road. The fire station was first shown in 1981. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows mainly fields characteristic of piecemeal enclosure from open field. Highwoods Farm was located to the northwest of the site, accessed via a track on the route of the current Highwoods Road. The Roman Ridge earthwork was shown at the southern edge of the buffer, with Woodfield Cottage and garden shown between Wath Road and the earthwork. By 1892, Woodfield Cottage was no longer shown, and new terraced housing was shown at Roman Terrace, between the Roman Ridge and Wath Road, to either side of Highwoods lane, with an old brick kiln to this east. The kiln had been replaced with housing by 1903, and many fields within the buffer had been amalgamated. By 1930, further housing and a recreation ground had been constructed in the southern buffer, with allotments to the east. A football ground was shown to the west of the site, with further field amalgamation across the buffer. Substantial housing development had occurred by 1957, with most of the area around the site developed. A TA centre was shown to the south of the site at that date, and a school was shown at the northern side of the buffer. By 1969, a building was shown to the immediate north of the site. By 1989, the housing to the north and west of the site had been demolished. Survival: The majority of the site has been occupied by a fire station since at least 1980, with the buildings now demolished. It is not known if the building had any cellarage, but the construction of the building is likely to have truncated sub-surface deposits in this area. It is also possible that buried services associated with the fire station and the nearby houses run through the site. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology within undisturbed areas of the site is considered to be low.

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

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as occupied by a fire station, with parking or yard areas around it, and a lawn area to the west. New housing had been built to the north and west since 1989, with nursing homes also constructed to the south. The fire station was still depicted in 2009, but 2011 Street View imagery shows it as having been demolished, with the site being a vacant lot. The most recent aerial imagery shows the footprint of the fire station buildings within the lot, with the remainder of the site shown as bare earth. There is currently no Lidar data covering this site, though the searchlight battery to the northwest is still visible as an earthwork mound.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two events are recorded within the buffer. An archaeological excavation at North Eastern Road, to the south of the site, indicated that the area had been heavily disturbed my modern activity. To the northwest of the site, archaeological evaluation revealed a tree trunk, but no deposits of archaeological significance. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow remains of probable post-medieval date were recorded at the northern end of the buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as divided between two character zones. The majority of the site and southern part of the buffer is characterised as an area of factories first depicted in 1967. The western edge and northern part of the buffer are characterised as drained wetland, enclosed from commons as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure award of 1825, with the present boundaries largely defined by the 19th-century drainage layout. Further character zones within the buffer comprise a car distribution centre in the northwest, modern private housing estates in the southwest and southeast, and modern social housing estates at the eastern side. Small areas of early 20th-century terraced housing and 1930s social housing extend into the southeast edge of the buffer. One area of historic landfill is recorded in the buffer to the south of the site, recorded as North Eastern Road, Thorne, and used for the deposition of inert and industrial waste. The site is currently a concrete surfaced yard with low shed buildings, used as a coal yard. The western part of the site is an area of rough pasture bounded to the west by a railway line. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of two narrow rectangular fields to the north of High Trod Road. The western site boundary had been established by 1892, by the construction of a railway line. The site was still a field in 1970. By 1987, it was shown as a coal yard, with several small buildings within the site. The western end was shown as scrubland, with a slight embankment at the western end of the coal yard, and the railway cutting to the west. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicts the area as narrow rectangular enclosures in an area called North Field. High Trod Road was depicted to the south of the site, now North Eastern Road, with Crusts Mill Road to the south and Cassons Road to the northwest. Far Post Mill (corn) and Bradberry's Mill, were shown to the south of High Trod Road, and a large house was at the southern edge of the buffer. By 1892, the Hull and Doncaster Railway had been constructed in the western side of the buffer, with a station in the southwest area. Far Post Mill had been replaced by Railway Cottages, though Bradberry's windmill was still shown. Another large house had been built in the southern part of the buffer. The corn mill was disused by 1906, with a small sand pit to its south, which had extended eastwards by 1930. At that date, new semi-detached housing was shown in the southeast part of the buffer, with a housing estate under construction at the eastern side by 1956. A textile factory was shown to the east of the site in 1956, with an engineering works to the north of the sand pit, which was a refuse tip in 1962, with several large detached houses to the north. A house was shown to the south of the site by 1975. Survival: The majority of the site is occupied by a coal yard, which is not likely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance. The western edge of the site is rough grass, but may have been disturbed by the construction of the adjacent railway cutting in the later 19th century. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology within the site is generally considered to be moderate.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial image shows the site as a coal yard, with low sheds along the western edge of the yard and an office and storage structures within it. The western edge of the site was depicted as rough grass. To the east of the site, the former factory had been demolished, with the engineering works still shown to the south. By 2008, the engineering works had been demolished and both it and the factory site had been developed with housing. No changes were shown within the site by 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two events are recorded at the northeast edge of the buffer. A watching brief on a new bus corridor along Bawtry Road identified mainly late 19th- to 20th- century dumping pits, field drains and a tarmac surface, some of which may have been associated with an airfield, and a few sherds of late medieval pottery. Evaluation at the site of the proposed racecourse hotel revealed only recent remains associated with the racecourse. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are within the buffer, the Grand St Leger Hotel in the northwest, and Hamilton Lodge in the southwest. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. The only feature recorded within the buffer was the edge of a mid-20th-century airfield at the very southern edge. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and southern half of the buffer as a planned social housing estate built to a geometric layout by 1930, with no legibility of the former landscape of enclosed, drained wetland. Further character zones within the buffer include racing stables to the west of the site, built in the grounds of a former villa by 1930, with the house converted into the St Leger Hotel to the north, Doncaster Racecourse to the northeast, a college to the north, a former football ground to the southeast, and further social housing estates to the northwest and west, and a school and almshouses western edge The site is currently occupied by a three storey house/hotel, with a small yard area and garage to the rear. It is bounded to the north by Belle Vue Avenue and to the west by St Helen’s Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field within an area of drained wetland called Low Pasture. A drainage ditch ran along the northern edge of the field. By 1930, the site had been developed with a detached house and a rectangular outbuilding at the rear of the plot. The building fronted onto Belle Vue Avenue, with a narrow ginnel running along the rear of the plot. No changes to the site layout were shown by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed Belle Vue house and its surrounding gardens to the north of the north of the site, fronting onto the Great North Road which ran through the northern part of the buffer. The edge of Doncaster Racecourse extended into the northeast part of the buffer. Carr House Lane and Sandy Lane were shown within the western part of the buffer, with the remainder of the area being fields. A shed was shown within the field to the south of the site, and a footpath also ran through the buffer on a northwest to southeast alignment, to the south of the site, labelled as the route of a Roman road. By 1892, Hamilton Lodge had been built to the southwest of the site, and an old gravel pit was shown in the field to the southeast of the site. By 1930, housing development had occurred to the south and east of the site, as part of the Belle Vue estate, mainly semi-detached housing. Racing stables had been established in the grounds to the south of Belle Vue House, and a football ground was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer. Hamilton Lodge was labelled 'maternity home' at that date. A drill hall was shown to the north of Belle Vue House. Further housing development occurred to the southwest, west and northwest of the site by 1938, and a school was shown at the western edge of the buffer. The Yorkshire Deaf Institute had been built at the northern edge of the buffer, in the area of the former drill hall. No significant changes were shown by 1993. Survival: The site is occupied by a house and garage/outbuilding that were constructed by 1930 as part of the Belle Vue housing estate. The house has been used as a hotel. It is not known if the building is cellared, but the development is likely to have truncated any buried deposits within its footprint. The potential for buried archaeology within the site is considered to be low.

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

Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development, though an assessment of the heritage value of the current buildings may be required. Significance: The standing buildings are considered to be of minor Local heritage value. The significance of any buried archaeological remains is considered to be Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth image shows the site as occupied by a large detached house, with extensions to the rear and a garage along the southern edge of the small yard. No changes were shown by 2009; the 2015 image is very unclear. The Lidar data does not show any features other than the building footprint. Street View imagery shows the building as a brick-built early 20th-century house of three storeys in height, with tall brick chimney stacks. It has bay windows on the ground floor and a wide central entrance, an arched window over the door and a central pedimented section at third floor height. There is a single-storey lean-to extension to the east. The western gable end has two windows at third floor (attic) height, and single windows to the ground and first floor, whilst the rear elevation has only small (bathroom) windows in the central section and single windows to the ground and first floors towards the eastern end. There are two rear single-storey extensions, one with a flat roof and one hipped. The garage to the rear of the yard is a long rectangular building with a low pitched roof and several doorways. It may have originally been a combination of stables, privies and coach house or shed. There is a low brick boundary wall around the property, more decorative on the Belle Vue Avenue frontage.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments and events within the site. One event is recorded at the western edge of the buffer, trial trenching at Market Place that did not reveal any archaeological remains. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and eastern part of the buffer as later 19th-century larger detached housing built as part of the development of Askern Spa. Further character areas within the buffer include early 20th-century terraced housing at the eastern edge, modern semi-detached housing to the northeast, modern planned social housing to the southeast and the commercial core of Askern and the 19th-century church to the west. The northern part of the buffer is characterised as enclosed, drained wetland, and a public park associated with Askern Lake is in the southern area. The most recent imagery of the site shows it as a building site, suggesting it is currently undergoing development. It is a narrow plot, formerly of woodland, bounded to the west by a railway line, to the east by Thompson Terrace and to the south by Station Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field and an area of verge adjacent to the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway line. On the more detailed 1893 map, the site was entirely within the verge of the railway line, with two small buildings at the southern end and a lane along the western edge. The buildings were shown as Railway Cottages in 1961, and had been demolished by 1977, when the majority of the site was shown as allotment gardens. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed fields to the northeast, northwest and southeast of the site, with Askern Common Road running through to the south of the site, and a few buildings along this road. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway ran through the buffer on a northwest to southeast alignment to the west of the site, and Askern Station was located on the western side of the line. To the southwest, Askern Lake was shown, with spa baths to the east of the lake. By 1893, semi-detached and larger detached housing had been built in the fields to the east of the site, with further housing building to the southwest by 1906. Terraced housing was shown further to the east by 1942, and a housing estate was under construction to the southwest by 1961, though these buildings were not shown in 1977. The station was shown as disused from 1961 onwards, and had been demolished by 1986, with a library built to the south of its former location. New housing was shown in the southeast part of the buffer by that date. Survival: The site is adjacent to a railway line, and may have been disturbed during the construction of the line. Two cottages were located at the southern end of the site until the 1970s, and it is possible that footings associated with these buildings may survive. The site was partially under development by 2015, which is likely to have disturbed sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of significant buried archaeology within the site is considered to be low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are not likely to be required if further development is planned at this site. Significance: Negligible.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument and four events are recorded within the buffer. At the northeast edge of the buffer, archaeological fieldwork identified an area used for small- scale Late Iron Age to Roman activity, associated with settlement and agricultural remains recorded during fieldwork to the north and east. A large area of geophysical survey at Holme Wood Lane extended just into the eastern edge of the buffer, and identified features probably associated with an Iron Age to Roman field system, though suggested that remains were likely to have been truncated by ploughing. At the northern edge of the buffer, no archaeological remains were identified during evaluation work. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and northern part of the buffer as an industrial estate first depicted in 1982, in an area of former strip fields. There is no legibility of the former landscape character. Further character zones within the buffer include playing fields to the northeast, modern private housing estates to the east and southeast, and social housing to the west. A nursing home is recorded in the south and another large industrial estate extends into the northeast edge of the buffer. The site is currently a reclamation yard to the east of Cow House Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a part of a field in rough vegetation ('furze'), bounded to the east by Cow House Lane. In 1892, it was shown as an area of rough vegetation and trees at the northwest edge of a larger field. The northern boundary was established by 1930, and the southern and eastern boundaries were first shown in 1961, when the site was still a field or yard area. By 1969, it was shown as a builder's yard, with open sided buildings at the east and south sides. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows fields, including those probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion from open field, and some more regular enclosures probably enclosed by Parliamentary Award. The area to the northeast was known as Gunhills, with Gunhill Lane running to the north of the site. A small plantation called Hazel Wood was located in the southeast part of the buffer. Some field boundaries had been removed by 1892 to create larger enclosures. By 1930, a sewage works had been constructed to the northeast of the site, with two semi-detached houses immediately to the north of the site, fronting onto Cow Lane. Some dispersed housing had been constructed to either side of Cow House Lane to the south of the site by 1956, with denser housing estates shown to the southwest by 1961. Detached housing had extended up to the immediate south of the site by 1961. A large joinery works was shown to the north of the site by 1969, by which date the sewage works had expanded further to the east. The sewage works had been removed by 1975 and all the settling ponds infilled. A new warehouse and depot were shown to the north of Cow House Lane at that date, and further works were constructed to the north by 1984, when the former sewage works site was shown as a playing field. New housing was also shown towards the eastern side of the buffer by 1984, and had extended up to the east edge of the site by 1993. Survival: The site has been in use as a builder’s or reclamation yard since the mid-1960s, prior to which it was a field. The yard is unlikely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two monuments, three findspots and one event are recorded within the buffer. The findspots are of flint artefacts found on the surface of a ploughed field in the southeast part of the buffer, and the monuments relate to cropmark features of a field system of probable Iron Age to Roman date and a possible Bronze Age round barrow identified in the same field. The event related to fieldwalking and geophysical survey at the putative site of the former medieval village of Newton, also at the southeast edge of the buffer, which did not identify any features conclusively associated with a village, but recovered medieval pottery and prehistoric flints. The main part of the survey area lay outside the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Cropmarks associated with the probable Iron Age to Roman field system were recorded in the southeast part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the buffer as mid- to late 20th-century private housing estates, with little legibility of the earlier landscape of piecemeal enclosure. The east and southeast edges of the buffer are defined as agglomerated fields, and the landscaped park associated with Hall extends into the northwest edge of the buffer. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the western side of the buffer, a railway cutting adjacent to the former Sprotbrough Foundry, used for the disposal of inert, industrial and commercial waste. The site was formerly occupied by works buildings, but has been recently developed as a housing estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field, the boundaries of which had been entirely altered by 1892. By 1956, the site was shown as a yard with three small buildings within it, and a separate access area to the south. The 1959 map showed a warehouse in the central part of the site, with smaller buildings to the south and north end. By 1974, a garage occupied most of the site, possibly incorporating the earlier warehouse. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map mainly showed fields, with Mill Hill labelled to the northeast and Richmond Hill to the northwest. Sprotbrough Road ran through the buffer on a northwest to southeast alignment, with Newton Lane leading off to the south. Some field boundaries to the north of Sprotbrough Road were substantially altered by 1892. By 1930, two railway lines had been laid out through the buffer, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell line to the northwest of the site, and the LNER Doncaster Avoiding Line to the southeast. Small groups of semi-detached housing had been built along Sprotbrough Road to the northeast and southwest of the site. By 1948, a new housing estate was under construction to the immediate northeast of the site, with new houses also shown to the south. The estate had extended further west by 1956, with works buildings to the west of the site, depicted in 1959 as nursery greenhouses. These had expanded by 1974, by which date the railway line to the northwest was disused. By 1992, the nursery had been demolished and housing built on its site. Survival: The site has been recently developed, consequently it is unlikely that any buried archaeological remains survive within it. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned at the site. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the garage within the site, as a T-shaped arrangement of light- industrial type structures, with an access route to the south onto Sprotbrough Road. These were still shown in 2009. The 2015 image is very poor, but appears to show that the buildings had been demolished.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded in the eastern part of the buffer, a shop used as the set for the ‘Open All Hours’ television programme. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as suburban commercial core, developed along Balby Road in the late 19th century, initially as larger terraced villa-type properties and now dominated by commercial businesses. Some of the terraced properties remain. Further character zones within the buffer include schools, an area of heavy metal trades industrialised since the later 19th century, a public park, allotment gardens, a mixture of terraced and semi-detached housing and a private housing estate. The site comprises two small plots, each currently occupied by three houses at the north and south ends of a row of terraced housing fronting onto Balby Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as within a square field or garden at the junction of Balby Road and Carr Hill. A house was shown to the northeast, possibly within the site. In 1892, the site was still mainly a garden, with a building at the southwest corner. This had been demolished and a new terrace of 10 houses constructed by 1930, with small yards to the rear. The site covers four of the houses, three in the centre of the row and one at the southwest end, and remains unchanged to the present day. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows a gravel and sand pit just to the east of the site. A few houses are shown along Carr Hill at this date, but the area mainly comprised fields and nurseries, with an area of parkland associated with Westfield House to the northwest. By 1892, terraced and semi-detached housing and a chapel were shown to the south along Balby Road, with more terraces to the north, and to the southeast along Carr Hill. The gravel pit was no longer shown. By 1930, the area to the west, south and northeast was dominated by terraced housing, either built or under construction. A group of buildings were shown to the immediate east of the site, possibly workshops or outbuildings; these had been replaced by a motor garage by 1961, at which date the terraces to the immediate northeast of the site had been demolished. the garage had been extended by 1972, and a warehouse built to the northeast of the site. A clothing factory was shown to the southeast of the garage. No further changes were shown by 1992. Survival: The site contains terraced houses with basements, indicating that no buried archaeological remains are likely to survive within the site. The houses are of early 20th-century date, constructed between 1903 and 1930, with some major recent modifications to the ground floor frontage. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: The standing buildings are considered to be of minor Local heritage significance. The significance of buried archaeology is negligible. Note: the remaining six buildings in the terrace are covered by Site 686.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photograph shows the row of terraced houses within the site, and a narrow yard area to the rear, open to the southeast and used partially for parking. The garage buildings are shown to the southeast. The 2015 image is obscured by clouds, but Street View imagery shows the houses as brick-built, three storeys in height including attics with dormer windows and pitched roofs. The ground floor frontage of all the buildings has been clad in grey tiles, and have identical doors, with the lower windows featuring metal roller shutters. The first floor windows have stone sills and lintels, but modern glazing. The rear view indicates that the site slopes downwards to the east, and the buildings have a basement level. The Lidar data shows only the location of the buildings. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Google Street View 2015. Lidar tile SE5601 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Two findspots, one monument and two events are recorded within the buffer. The findspots are of a medieval coin (1413-22) found in the northern part of the buffer, and a glass bead of possible Anglo-Saxon date from the northwest edge. The monoument is the suggested route of a Roman road from Templeborough fort to Doncaster, thought to run in the vicinity of Florence Avenue in the northern part of the buffer. The two events comprise geophysical survey and evaluation trenching covering a single area at Oswin Avenue in the northern part of the buffer. The evaluation did not identify any archaeological features or deposits. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. An area of ridge and furrow cultivation remains of probable post-medieval date was recorded in the southeast part of the buffer, in an area that has since been built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as divided between two character areas. The northern half of the site and part of the northwest buffer are characterised as a small cul-de-sac, possibly sheltered housing associated with a nearby care home. The housing was constructed between 1972 and 1984, with no legibility of earlier enclosure patterns. The southern part of the site and much of the northeast part of the buffer is occupied by terrace housing built between 1892 and 1903 in a grid-iron street pattern, with some of the streets fossilising the boundaries of earlier strip fields. Balby's historic commercial core is located just to the south and east of the site, and The Marshall's residential care home and a modern factory are to the west. Other character areas within the buffer include 1930s planned social housing and terraced housing at the western side and southern edge, modern social and private housing estates to the northwest, with semi-detached housing and a church to the northeast. The Scarborough Barracks and playing fields are located in the southeast part of the buffer. The site is shown on 2009 aerial imagery as a vacant plot, but appears to have been developed with new housing by 2016. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a rectangular field fronting onto Balby High Road. By 1892, a large detached house called Ash Mount had been constructed in the southern part of the site, with gardens and greenhouses to the north. The house was shown as a club by 1930, and the greenhouses had been demolished by 1960. The club building had been extended to the north by 1975. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed strip fields to the north and west of the site, with several small sand pits depicted. To the immediate southwest of the site was a row of houses called Chapel Row, adjacent to a Methodist Chapel, with the historic core of Balby depicted mainly to the south of High Road, and some buildings to the northeast of the site. The 1892 map depicted larger sandpits in fields to the west of Chapel Yard and north of the site. Further housing had been built by that date, mainly in small discrete rows infilling areas along High Road. By 1903, Furnival Road had been established to the east of the site, with terraced and semi-detached housing building along it. Further terraced housing and a school had been built to the northwest by 1930, as well as new housing to the south of High Road. By 1948, a new housing estate was under construction in the western part of the buffer, and allotment gardens were shown to the east and north of Furnival Road. By 1960, a works and school canteen had been built to the west of Marshall Avenue, and an un-named T-shaped building was shown to the immediate east of this road, which had been demolished by 1975. A depot was shown to the immediate north of the site by that date. By 1992, the Marshall's care home and surrounding housing was depicted to the west of the site. Survival: The southern half of the site was occupied by an late 19th-century house and later club building. These had been

demolished by 2009, and the site has been developed with housing since July 2015. The potential for buried archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned at this site. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth image shows a large house towards the southern frontage of the site, with a large rectangular pitched-roof building to the north, and areas of car parking at the northern side of the site. By 2008, the roof of the building to the rear had been removed, and the 2009 image showed both buildings had been demolished. The 2015 image is obscured by clouds, but Street View imagery indicates that between July 2015 and September 2016, new two-storey brick-built houses or apartments had been built at the High Road frontage of the site and to the rear, though the full extent of the development is not visible. Lidar data shows only the footprint of the former building within the site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Street View: 2016. Lidar tile SE5601 DTM 1m.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One findspot is recorded within the buffer to the northwest of the site, a Roman coin; however, the text states that this was found at Toll Bar, Bentley, which is 3km to the north of the site, suggesting that the grid reference on the SMR record is incorrect. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow is recorded to the north of the site from a photograph of 1946; however, this area has since been built on and the earthworks do not survive. Further ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded at the northern edge of the buffer, and military buildings were shown in the southeast part of the buffer on a photograph from 1948. This area has also since been redeveloped. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the buffer to the north and south as an industrial estate within a triangle of land isolated from the surrounding countryside in the early 20th century and developed for industry between 1948 and 1966. There is no legibility of the former character of piecemeal enclosure from open field. Further character zones within the buffer comprise allotments to the northwest, 20th-century terraced housing, private and social housing estates to the east, southeast and west, playing fields and an industrial estate to the southeast, regenerated scrubland to the southeast, with retail premises and a small area of surviving piecemeal enclosures to the southwest and west. The most recent imagery (2015) shows the site as cleared, vacant ground formerly occupied by industrial buildings. It is bounded to the south by Watch House Lane and to the east by a disused railway line. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a field to the north of Watch House Lane. Between 1907 and 1930, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell railway line was built along the eastern side of the site, with an embanked bridge built to carry Watch House Lane over the railway forming the southern boundary of the site and a small lane running through the eastern edge of the site. By 1956, an industrial works building had been constructed in the western part of the site, which had been extended to cover most of the site up to the lane by 1961, with allotment gardens shown in the triangle of land at the eastern corner. By 1985, two further works building had been constructed over the allotments. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the area as mainly fields, with Pipering Lane Plantation shown at the northern end, and the Great North Road running through the southwest edge. Railway lines had been constructed by 1930, with the LNER line mentioned above and a triangular junction between it and a mineral railway line to the south. Fields to the east and southeast of the site had been converted to allotment gardens by that date, with housing shown to the south of Watch House Lane. By 1948, Raymond Road had begun construction to the west of the site, with further housing along Watch House Lane and the southern buffer. Works or military buildings were shown to the southeast in 1956, and the works building shown within the site in 1961 extended north into the buffer, with a further works to the north and allotment gardens to the northeast. The industrial estate had extended to the north and south by 1980. Survival: The site was developed over the second half of the 20th century with large works buildings. It is likely that the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph showed the same works buildings as in 1992, hard-surfaced parking and access routes between the buildings. The works within the site were still standing and apparently in use in 2009, but by 2015, all the buildings within the site had been demolished.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not records any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks within the site itself and further remains to the northwest of the site, within the buffer zone. The earthworks within the site have been removed by 20th-century development. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the southern and western ends of the buffer zone as social housing forming part of the planned estate of Bentley New Village. This area of housing was rapidly developed following the sinking of the first shaft of Bentley Colliery from 1905-7. The geometric layout of this area contrasts sharply in plan with the surrounding grid iron terraces. There is no legibility of the earlier enclosure landscape. Additional character types within the buffer zone include early 20th-century terraced and semi-detached housing to the east, along with a modern nursing home, allotment gardens to the southeast, and a modern housing estate and playing fields to the northwest. Daw Lane Plantation, of probable 19th-century date, is located to the immediate north of the site, with the site of Bentley Colliery's above-ground infrastructure extending into the very northeast edge of the buffer. The site is currently occupied by a rectangular U-shaped two-storey block of social housing, with a car park at the centre. Further housing exists to the south of the site, with woodland and playing fields to the north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an irregularly-shaped field, within an area of similar fields. The irregular, curving field boundaries are suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. No change is apparent on the site until 1930, by which time the field containing the site had been reduced in size due to the construction of Beeley New Village, to the south and east. The associated buildings and property boundaries of the New Village formed the current boundaries of the site, although the site itself remained undeveloped at this time. By 1938 six buildings had been constructed on the site, arranged in a semi-circular pattern. The buildings were labelled 78-88 Victoria Road in 1961, when they were shown as each set within wedge-shaped gardens. These buildings were still present on the site in 1976, although by 1980 they had been replaced by the rectangular U-shaped apartment building that still occupies the site today. On the 1985 map, the building is labelled Victoria Court, with property numbers from 1 to 16. Within the buffer zone, in 1854 Daw Lane was present to the west and southwest of the site, with a group of fields called Daw Lane Plantation to the immediate north, though these were not shown as heavily wooded at that date. A drain was present along the southern edge of the field containing the site. More dense woodland was shown in Daw Lane Plantations by 1892, with an unwooded area called The Gorse located between two wooded fields. There is little change evident in the buffer zone until 1930, with the construction of Bentley New Village. Victoria Road had been laid out along the southern boundary of the site, with St Philip and St James’ Church and housing further to the south. A church hall was located to the immediate east of the site, and semi- detached housing to the west. Daw Lane Plantation was still present to the north of the site, though The Gorse had been developed with housing. The southwest part of the buffer contained housing and the northwest side was still fields. Bentley Colliery was located to the immediate north of Daw Lane Plantations. By 1961, a football ground was located to the northwest of the site. The village itself had few changes between 1930 and 1985, apart from further encroachment of the colliery infrastructure on Daw Lane Plantations, and the construction of new housing at the northwest edge of the buffer between 1966 and 1976. Survival: By 1938, six buildings occupied the site in a semi-circular arrangement. By 1980, these had been demolished and replaced by a large rectangular U-shaped building. Considering the likely truncation of sub-surface deposits that

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

the construction of these buildings, and the demolition of the first phase of buildings, would have caused, the potential for the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible. Note: Site 869 is the same as Site 410.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as unchanged from the 1985 map, with the large rectangular U-shaped building of Victoria Court occupying the site and a car parking area at the centre. No changes are shows by 2009, with the 2015 image being too poor to make out any details. To the north, Bentley Colliery had been dismantled by 2002, and parts of its site landscaped. Street View imagery from 2012 shows the buildings as apartment blocks of two storeys in height, with pitched roofs and a main entrance in the central block. Lidar imagery for the site shows isolated areas of probable ridge and furrow within wooded areas forming part of Daw Lane Plantations to the north and northwest of the site, but no features other than the building footprint are visible within the site itself. The ridge and furrow recorded in the field to the north of the site in 1946 is still visible, but much fainter than that within the wooded areas.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and extending across the northern half of the buffer: the site of the Doncaster Roman pottery production industry, an area where intensive pottery production has been recorded and numerous kilns excavated. One event is recorded within the southern part of the buffer, geophysical survey undertaken at Hurst Lane, which recorded possible pits and a curvilinear ditch. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and northern part of the buffer as a planned social housing estate constructed as airmen's married quarters for RAF Finningley, with no legibility of the former fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1778. Further character zones within the buffer comprise mid-20th-century schools to the northwest and southwest, housing built for married officers to the southeast and further airmen's housing to the southwest. Areas of fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award extend into the western and southern edges of the buffer. The site is currently occupied by recently-built houses fronting onto Hayfield Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a field in an area called Long Lands Field. Hayfield Lane was shown along the southern boundary of the field and Hurst Lane along the western boundary. No changes were shown by 1930. In 1948, the site, was shown as an area of vacant land in a triangle between the two roads and new housing to the northeast. In 1961 this was shown as a wide verge area crossed by footpaths running between the houses. No further changes were shown by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed mainly fields, with regular boundaries largely indicative of Parliamentary Enclosure. Hayfield Lane and Hurst Road ran through the buffer. Housing development had begun to the northeast of the site by 1948, with a short crescent shown, and a further larger building was also shown towards the eastern side of the buffer. By 1862, the housing estate had been expanded to cover the area to the northeast and southeast of the site, with a primary school to the south of Hayfield Lane. A comprehensive school had been built to the northwest by 1975. No substantial changes were shown by 1993. Survival: As the site has been developed since 2009, the potential for the survival of any buried archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned on this site. Significance: Negligible.

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

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as an area of rough grass to the southwest of houses on Willow Crescent. Between 2009 and 2015, a roughly L-shaped building was constructed within the site, with the area to the west shown as a building site. Street View imagery shows a single-storey supermarket within the site, with a carpark to the east, outside the site boundary. At least four modern two-storey houses are shown to the immediate west, fronting onto Hayfield Lane and Hurst Lane. Lidar data shows a mound of earth within the site, presumably photographed during building works. Further earth mounds are shown in the building site to the northwest.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument covering the site and extending into the buffer, a group of cropmarks including at least two sub-rectangular enclosures, a trackway and field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date. Only the trackway has been plotted by the Magnesian Limestone Aerial Mapping Project. Three further monuments, one findspot and two events are recorded within the buffer. One monument is the site of a socketed base of a probable medieval wayside cross, to the immediate south of the site. The SMR record states that it was moved to the churchyard in 1969 during road widening works. A long barrow, partially destroyed by quarrying, is located at the very western edge of the buffer, and is also a Scheduled Monument. Earthwork banks and ditches have been recorded in Scabba Wood, in the southwest part of the buffer, possibly associated with the cropmark features mentioned above. A single Roman coin of early 2nd century AD date has been found close to the southeast edge of the site. The events recorded within the buffer relate to woodland survey at Scabba Wood that recorded the banks and ditches mentioned above, and a geophysical survey at the southern edge of the buffer that recorded ditches associated with cropmark features. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. King Hengist’s Rein Neolithic long barrow is located at the western edge of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two linear ditches visible as cropmarks running through the site on an east to west alignment. The SMR records that these form part of a wider group of features including field boundaries and two enclosures, probably of Iron Age to Roman date, though no other features have been plotted by the Magnesian Limestone Project. One area of ridge and furrow remains is recorded at the northeast edge of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and north and west buffer as agglomerated fields, where 20th-century boundary removal has led to a loss of the former character of large piecemeal enclosures and scattered woodlands. Further character zones within the buffer comprise a modern private housing estate in the east, strip fields to the south, and plantation woodland at the southwest edge. The site is currently an arable field, bounded to the south by Melton Road, to the north by Toecroft Lane and to the east by housing. It retains one hedged boundary on its western side. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as two east-west aligned fields with sinuous boundaries suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. By 1892, one of the boundaries had been removed to create a single field. The current eastern boundary had been established by 1980, by the edge of a housing estate. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows most of the area as strip fields, with the pedestal of a stone cross marked on the north side of Melton Lane, immediately south of the house. Toecroft Farm was shown at the northwest edge of the buffer, accessed via Folder Lane and Toecroft Lane. Wetlands Wood and an adjacent house with two ponds in the garden were shown at the southwest edge, the latter shown as Scabba Wood Cottage in 1892. Toecroft Quarry was shown at the western edge of the buffer, disused by 1903. By 1956, semi- detached housing had been built at the eastern edge of the field containing the site, extended up to its current extent by 1980. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1854, and probably from the medieval period onwards. This may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone affected by ploughing is considered to be high. A trackway of probable Iron Age to Roman date has been recorded within the site, and further features associated with field boundaries and enclosures are also indicated by the SMR. A possible palaeochannel also crosses the site, which could preserve palaeoenvironmental remains.

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

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations will be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman small-scale settlement and agricultural activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 to 2009 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as an arable field, with a slightly curving hedged boundary on its western side, characteristic of enclosure from medieval open field. The eastern boundary is formed by a modern housing estate. The 2002 image shows cropmark features, though it is unclear whether these include the field boundaries recorded in the SMR, as they are quite irregular and many appear to be of geological origin. Only faint traces of the trackway recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project are visible in this image. A wide dark feature runs through the site from the northeast to southwest corners; again, it is unclear if this is the route of a palaeochannel, or a more modern feature, such as a pipeline easement. This feature is also visible in the 2002-2009 aerial images, though none of the other features recorded in 2002 are visible in these. The possible palaeochannel is visible in the limited Lidar data covering the site, as a slight hollow within the field. No other features of archaeological origin are visible within the field in the Lidar data, though slight ridge and furrow earthworks are noted in the field to the northeast, directly east of Toecroft Farm; these have not been plotted by the Magnesian Limestone Project. The area of ridge and furrow plotted by the MLP in the northeast part of the buffer is not covered by Lidar data, so it is not known if these survive as earthworks.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One findspot, one monument and one event are recorded within the eastern part of the buffer. The findspot is of a medieval or early post-medieval spur found at Gally Hill, whilst the 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. 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 Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the boundary of an airfield extending into the western side of the site, and covering the western part of the buffer. This was Bircotes Airfield, established during the Second World War airfield and photographed in 1948. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and northern part of the buffer as agglomerated fields, with the removal of field boundaries resulting in a reduction of the former character of fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award from Martin Common. There is only fragmentary visibility of the enclosure landscape. 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. The western and eastern parts of the buffer are also characterised as agglomerated fields, with an area of ancient woodland at the northeast edge. The south and southeast parts of the buffer are dominated by housing of various types, the earliest dating to the first half of the 20th century, with expansion up to the early 21st century. A distribution centre is located to the immediate southeast of the site. The site is currently part of a large field in arable use. It is bounded to the east by the Great North Road and to the south by housing and a distribution centre. The northern edge is not a physical boundary. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as two fields to the west of the Great North Road. The 1956 map shows the western part 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 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 southeast part of the buffer 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 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.

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.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as part of a large arable field. The surrounding area had been enclosed into regularly shaped fields after 1992, with many of the boundaries formed by plough divisions or low hedges. By 2007, the area to the west was shown as part of a large pig farm. The curving route of one of the taxiing lanes associated with the airfield is visible as a cropmark or soilmark within the western part of the site in 2012. Pig arcs were shown in the western part of the site in 2015. Lidar data covers only the eastern edge of the site, with no earthwork features depicted within this area.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One findspot, two monuments and one event are recorded within the eastern part of the buffer. The findspot is of a medieval or early post-medieval spur found at Gally Hill, whilst the monuments comprise the route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster, which is thought to run along the course of the Great North Road at the eastern edge of the site; and a number of earthwork banks of uncertain date and purpose within King’s Wood. 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 southeast of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the boundary of an airfield extending into the western side of the site, and covering the western part of the buffer. This was Bircotes Airfield, established during the Second World War airfield and photographed in 1948. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and north, northwest and south parts of the buffer as agglomerated fields, with the removal of field boundaries resulting in a reduction of the former character of fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award from Martin Common. There is only fragmentary visibility of the enclosure landscape. 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. The southwest and southeast parts of the buffer are also characterised as agglomerated fields, with an area of ancient woodland at the east. The south and southeast edges of the buffer are characterised as modern housing and a distribution centre. The site is currently part of a large field in arable use. It is bounded to the east by the Great North Road and to the north by Martin Grange Farm Lane. The southern edge is not a physical boundary. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1886 OS map shows the site as two fields to the west of the Great North Road. The northern field had several trees within it, as well as the dotted outline of a small rectangular feature. This was shown as a rectangular hollow in 1893, possibly a former small quarry pit or pond. This was no longer shown in 1921. The 1956 map shows the southwest part of the site as an airfield, though no features are shown within it, whilst the northern half was still shown as a field. The 1962 map shows details of the airfield, including a taxiing route and a plane parking circle within the southwest part of the site. The airfield was shown as disused at that date. The 1992 map showed the site as part of a large, unenclosed field covering the extent of the airfield, which was no longer shown. Within the buffer, the 1886 OS map shows fields to the north, south and west, with Martin Grange Farm depicted in the northwest part of the buffer and a lane to the farm running along the northern edge of the site. The 1854 OS map shows Gally Hills gravel pit and King's Wood to the east of the Great North Road. 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. By 1962, possible allotment gardens were shown at the southeast corner of the buffer, which had been replaced by a commercial vehicle depot by 1967, with a new depot building shown in 1985. Further housing had been built at the southern edge of the buffer by 1992. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use since the mid-18th century, with recent arable cultivation likely to 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 southwest part of the site, and a possible palaeochannel runs through the centre. Evaluation has recorded possible Iron Age ditches in the eastern part of the buffer, and the likely route of a Roman road runs along the eastern edge of the site. A possible small quarry is recorded in the northwest part of the site, though this is unverified and appears to only cover a small area. 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. The significance of any remains associated with a palaeochannel would depend on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 Google Earth aerial imagery shows the site as part of a large arable field. The surrounding area had been enclosed into regularly shaped fields after 1992, with many of the boundaries formed by plough divisions or low hedges. By 2007, the area to the southwest was shown as part of a large pig farm, and pig arcs were shown in the western part of the site in 2015. The curving route of one of the taxiing lanes and a plane parking circle associated with the airfield is visible as a cropmark or soilmark within the western part of the site in 2009 and 2012. The 2012 image also shows a sinuous linear feature crossing the centre of the site from west to east, on a rouge roughly parallel with Martin Grange Farm Lane. This is not depicted on any of the historic mapping, and appears to correspond with a low point in the field. It is possibly a palaeochannel. Lidar only covers the southeast edge of the site, but does show this area as a slight hollow. The 2002 and 2012 aerial images show a roughly oval feature to the north of the possible palaeochannel. This may correspond with the small rectangular hollow shown on the 1886 to 1903 OS maps, though the cropmark is more extensive. It may represent the site of a former sand quarry.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one findspot within the site: a possible fragment of the shaft of a medieval stone cross built into a garden wall, apparently located in the southwest corner of the site. The fragment may be associated with a medieval cross base and pillar that is located to the north of the site; this is thought to have been moved from its original location, possibly Tickhill Market. Three further monuments and three findspots are recorded within the buffer. The findspots comprise a scatter of flints, possibly representing a Mesolithic flint knapping site, from a field to the north of Eastfield Farm; a Roman cosmetic spoon found in a field to the northeast of the site, and a Roman brooch found in the southwest part of the buffer. The monuments comprise the site of Dadsley Well, just to the north of the site, and listed farmhouses and barns at Eastfield Farm at the eastern edge of the buffer, and at 126 Doncaster Road, in the southern part of the buffer, both groups also incorporating listed buildings. There are two events within the buffer, comprising building recording at 126 Doncaster Road and a watching brief at the Dorchie, Doncaster Road, which identified a possible medieval ditch and wall, but recorded no evidence for the deserted medieval village of Dadsley which was assumed to be in this area. There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site. Six grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer zone, including the remains of the stone cross north of the site, the listed farmhouses and barns at Eastfield Farm House and 126 Doncaster Road, and number 128 Doncaster Road. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two areas of earthwork ridge and furrow remains of probable post-medieval date within the site, and further ridge and furrow remains in the north, northwest and southwest parts of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the eastern part of the buffer as agglomerated fields created by the removal of former strip field boundaries in the later 20th century, with no surviving legibility of the strip fields probably enclosed from medieval open field. The northern part of the buffer is also characterised as agglomerated fields. The is greater preservation of the strip field character in the western part of the buffer, with the southern area being a mixture of mid- to late semi-detached housing and part of an area of preserved burgage plots occupied by 19th-century and earlier buildings. The northwest part of Tickhill is thought to have replaced the settlement of Dadsley, recorded in the Domesday survey. The site is currently a field with internal divisions apparently only defined by the edge of ploughing zones. It is bounded to the west by Doncaster Road and to the south by a lane to Eastfield Farm. The northern edge is formed by a drainage ditch feeding into Dadsley Well Stream. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a field with hedged boundaries to the east and south. The western boundary was formed by Doncaster Road, and the northern boundary by a drainage ditch. A footpath ran across the field in a northeast to southwest alignment. A 'stone' was depicted against the western boundary of the site, opposite Dadsley Well Farm. Between 1956 and 1962, the boundary at the eastern side of the field was removed. By 1992, the southern boundary was formed only by the lane to Eastfield. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted Dadsley Well House to the west of Doncaster Road and west of the site. Eastfield farm was shown to the east, and the remains of a stone cross and a direction post at the fork in the road to the north. A spring was shown feeding into Dadsley Well Stream just to the north of the site boundary. Dadsley Well itself was shown as a small structure to the west of the spring head. Some buildings were shown along Doncaster Road in the southern part of the buffer, along with a structure called 'Pilgrims' Seat'. There were no substantial changes until 1929, when a few new houses had been built to the south, fronting onto Doncaster Road, with further housing built at the southern end of the buffer by 1948. Housing had extended up to the lane leading to Eastfield by 1962, by which date Dadsley Well was no longer shown. A school was built in the southeast part of the buffer by 1974, with further housing to its east by 1992.

Survival: The site has been in agricultural use, which 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. The site is close to a well of possible medieval date, and in the vicinity of the area thought to be the location of Dadsley village or manor, which was in existence prior to the Norman Conquest. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial imagery shows the site as part of a large arable field, divided into different cropping regimes but with no physical boundaries between these areas. A small copse is shown to the north of the site, between the Dadsley Well Stream and the drainage ditch forming the northern site boundary. In 2003, the majority of the field was in use as pasture, but the western side was planted with crops. Other than variations in the plough division boundaries, no obvious changes were visible within the site by 2012. Street View imagery suggests that the ridge and furrow recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project does not survive as earthworks. There is currently no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Four findspots, eight monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. The findspots are a possible fragment of the shaft of a medieval stone cross built into a garden wall to the northwest of the site; a scatter of flints, possibly representing a Mesolithic flint knapping site, from a field to the north of Eastfield Farm; a Roman cosmetic spoon found in a field at the northern side of the buffer; and a Roman brooch in the western part. The monuments comprise a timber-framed barn and 17th-century farmhouse Eastfield, to the northeast of the site, a possible timber-framed house, a dovecote and 19th-century house at Northgate, in the southern part of the buffer, and 17th-century and later structural remains and artefacts from trial trenching off Northgate. To the immediate south of the site is the location of a 19th-century brickyard, and to the southwest are the 18th-century farm and buildings at 126 Doncaster Road. The events within the buffer include building recording at 126 Doncaster Road and a watching brief at the Dorchie, Doncaster Road, which identified a possible medieval ditch and wall, but recorded no evidence for the deserted medieval village of Dadsley which was assumed to be in this area. There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site. Twelve grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer zone, including the farmhouses and barns at Eastfield Farm House and 126 Doncaster Road, number 128 Doncaster Road, and six houses on Northgate at the southern edge of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded areas of earthwork ridge and furrow remains of probable post-medieval date within the north, south and west parts of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the north and east parts of the buffer as agglomerated fields created by the removal of former strip field boundaries in the later 20th century, with no surviving legibility of the strip fields probably enclosed from medieval open field. The northern edge of the buffer is also characterised as agglomerated fields. There is greater preservation of the strip field character at the western edge of the buffer, with modern semi-detached housing to the immediate west of the site. Within the southern part of the buffer there is further modern private housing, a modern school on the former brickyard site, and part of an area of preserved burgage plots occupied by 19th-century and earlier buildings. The northwest part of Tickhill is thought to have replaced the settlement of Dadsley, recorded in the Domesday survey. The site is currently a field with internal divisions apparently only defined by the edge of ploughing zones. It is bounded to the west by Doncaster Road and to the north by a lane to Eastfield Farm. The southern edge is formed by the boundary of the school playing fields. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of three fields, with the southern field apparently being part of the land associated with Tickhill Brick and Tile Works. The tile works buildings were outside the site boundary, though it is possible that clay pits extended into the site. The two fields to the north were rectangular and relatively narrow, with hedged boundaries. The brick works had been demolished by 1893, and their site was shown as a single field. The western site boundary had been formed by 1962, by gardens of new housing fronting onto Doncaster Road. By 1967, the northern site boundary was formed only by the lane to Eastfield. The southern boundary was established by 1974, by which time the school had been built on the former brick works site. The remaining boundaries within the site had been removed by 1992 to create a single field. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed houses or farms to the west and southwest of the site, fronting onto Doncaster Road. Common Lane ran through the southern part of the buffer. Eastfield farm was shown to the northeast of the site, and the remainder of the buffer comprised fields. A structure called the Pilgrims' Seat was shown on Doncaster Road, just to the west of the site. In 1893 an 'old brick kiln' was shown to the west of the site of the former brick works; in 1902 this was labelled 'old limekiln'. By 1929, two new semi-detached houses were

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

shown to the immediate west of the site, adjacent to the Pilgrims' Seat, and further houses had been built to the west of Doncaster Road. More houses were under development to the immediate west of the site by 1956, and the current western site boundary had been established by 1962, formed by the back edge of gardens. The school to the south had been constructed by 1974, with a housing estate built to the southeast by 1992. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use, which 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. The site is in the vicinity of the area thought to be the location of Dadsley village or manor, which was in existence prior to the Norman Conquest. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial imagery shows the site as part of a large arable field, divided into different cropping regimes but with no physical boundaries between these areas. A single mature tree stands within the field, probably a survivor from the former field boundary hedge. Other than variations in the plough division boundaries, no obvious changes were visible within the site by 2012. There is currently no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Three findspots and three monuments are recorded within the buffer. The findspots are a scatter of flints, possibly representing a Mesolithic flint knapping site, from a field to the north of Eastfield Farm and three Roman coins and medieval metalwork found in the area of the housing estate to the southeast of the site. The monuments comprise a timber-framed barn and 17th- century farmhouse Eastfield, at the northern edge of the buffer, and the location of a 19th-century brickyard to the southwest of the site. There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer zone, comprising the farmhouse and barns at Eastfield Farm in the northern part of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded an area of earthwork ridge and furrow remains of probable post-medieval date within the southern part of the buffer, in an area since developed with housing. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the north and northwest parts of the buffer as agglomerated fields created by the removal of former strip field boundaries in the later 20th century, with no surviving legibility of the strip fields probably enclosed from medieval open field. Greater preservation of the strip field character is recorded at the eastern edge of the buffer, though this mainly relates to the few surviving boundaries. Modern semi-detached housing is recorded in the western part of the buffer, with modern private housing and a modern school on the former brickyard site to the south of the site. In the southwest there is part of an area of preserved burgage plots occupied by 19th-century and earlier buildings. The northwest part of Tickhill is thought to have replaced the settlement of Dadsley, recorded in the Domesday survey. The site is currently a field with internal divisions apparently only defined by the edge of ploughing zones. It is bounded to the south by a housing estate, to the east by the A1(M) and to the west by a lane to Eastfield Farm. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of a two fairly large strip fields, bounded on the north by Eastfield Lane and on the south by Common Lane. One boundary was removed by 1893 to create a single large field. The eastern boundary was formed by the creation of the A1(M) between 1956 and 1962, by which most field boundaries in the area had been removed and the site was part of a much larger field. the southern boundary of the site was formed by 1992, by the edge of a housing estate. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed Eastfield to the north, a brickyard and a few houses or farms to the southwest. The remainder of the area comprised strip fields. Eastfield Lane was marked as a bridle road on the 1893 map, by which date the brick works had been demolished and any clay pits infilled. Between 1956 and 1962, the A1(M) was built along the eastern boundary of the site. By 1974, housing estates and a school had been built in the south and southwest parts of the buffer, and a further housing estate was under construction to the north by 1992, forming the southern site boundary. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use, which 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. The site is in the vicinity of the area thought to be the location of Dadsley village or manor, which was in existence prior to the Norman Conquest.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event is recorded within the northern edge of the buffer zone, fieldwalking and geophysical survey along the route of a new road, which recorded Iron Age to Roman field ditches and two flints. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded part of a linear ditch within the site. This is probably associated with a rectilinear enclosure and field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date recorded to the immediate southwest. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded within the northern edge of the buffer in 1946, but this area has since been developed. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the western and southern buffer as the modern Bankwood Industrial Estate. The main part of the site is a large depot, in an area formerly West End Wood, with the edge of the depot fossilising the boundary of the ancient woodland. The western edge of the site is a former sewage works within the industrial estate and the southwest edge was used as allotments prior to the creation of the industrial estate. Further character zones within the buffer comprise agglomerated fields to the north, ancient woodland to the eastern edge, allotments to the southeast and northwest, a social housing estate to the south and part of a colliery spoil heap at the western edge. Historic landfill data records one small tip within the site, called Bankwood Lane. Two further tips are recorded within the western part of the buffer, Rossington Dumpit Site to the southwest and Bankwood Lane Allotments at the northwest edge. The site is currently predominantly a hardcore-surfaced depot yard, mainly used for storage and parking, with five lightweight industrial buildings towards the western sides. A small area at the southwest side is grassed verges. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map showed the majority of the site as West End Wood, which formed the western end of Park Wood. The southern and northern boundaries of the woodland are still visible in the current layout, as is most of the western boundary. The west and southwest edges of the site were part of fields to the east of Bank Wood Lane, with the northern site boundary marked by Rossington Drain. The 1892 map showed a series of footpaths running through the wood, with two boundaries marked within the wood, possibly narrow streams. By 1930, a sewage works was shown at the western edge of the site, in a former field, with filter beds and sludge beds. The southwest edge of the site was part of an area of allotment gardens. By 1962, part of the wood had been cleared, with enclosures shown at the southern and western sides of the formerly wooded area. The woodland was mainly shown as a mixture of wood and scrub by 1980, with more divisions shown within it, whilst the sewage works was shown as smaller, the filter and sludge beds having been infilled. By 1989, depot buildings were shown within the western side of the former wood, which had been cleared and formed the depot yard. The allotments to the southwest had gone by this date, and the area was shown as vacant ground to the north of factories. The sewage works was not shown in 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Park Wood to the east and Pheasant Bank Wood to the west, with Bank Wood Lane running between them on a north-south alignment and West End Lane crossing the southern end. The canalised route of the ran to the north of and parallel with Rossington Drain. The remaining area was fields. There were no changes until 1930, when New Rossington colliery village had extended into the south and southwest part of the buffer and a mineral railway line and sidings were shown to the north of Rossington Drain. By 1948, further housing was under construction in the southwest part of the buffer. A factory and depot were shown to the southwest of the site in 1989, with further works, coal and scrap yards shown to the west of Bank Wood Lane. Pheasant Bank Wood had been cleared by 1993 and may have become a spoil heap, with a

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

conveyor from Rossington Main Colliery extending into it. 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 disturbance to sub-surface deposits. Across the main depot site, the potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be generally moderate. The exception is a small area in the centre 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 infilled sludge beds and filter beds. The potential at the southwest edge is considered to be moderate to high, as this area does not appear to have been landscaped and was formerly in use as fields and allotments. The depot site preserves part of the boundary of the former West End Wood, retaining some legibility of the historic landscape character of this area of ancient woodland, though this boundary has been removed 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: Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. The boundary of West End Wood is considered to be of Local historic significance. Note: Site 878 forms the western side of larger Site 521.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2012 aerial photographs shown the main part of the site as a large area of hardcore-surfaced depot yard, mainly used for storage and parking, with five lightweight industrial buildings towards the western sides. The boundary of the depot yard was formerly that of West End Wood. The photographs suggest that there is a slight embankment around the edges of this area, and it is not clear if this was part of the historic woodland boundary or if it indicates that ground levels within the depot have been lowered. A small area at the southwest side of the site is grassed verges. The former sewage works at the western edge of the site survives as a series of tanks and a single building. Only a small area at the northeast corner of the site is covered by Lidar data. This shows a drainage ditch depicted on modern mapping, and slight banking around the north edge of the site.

One event is recorded within the northern edge of the buffer zone, fieldwalking and geophysical survey along the route of a new road, which recorded Iron Age to Roman field ditches and two flints. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a rectilinear enclosure and field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date within the southern part of the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded within the northern edge of the buffer in 1946, but this area has since been developed.

The main part of the site is a large depot, in an area formerly West End Wood, with the edge of the depot fossilising the boundary of the ancient woodland. Further character zones within the buffer include a former sewage works within the industrial estate and an area to the southwest used as allotments prior to the creation of the industrial estate. In the northern part of the buffer are agglomerated fields, with ancient woodland to the east, allotments to the southeast and northwest, a social housing estate to the south and drained, enclosed wetland at the northeast edge. Historic landfill data records a small tip just to the west of the site, called Bankwood Lane. A further tip is recorded within the western part of the buffer, known as the Rossington Dumpit Site. The site is currently a hardcore-surfaced depot yard, mainly used for storage and parking. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map showed the site as part of West End Wood, which formed the western end of Park Wood. The southern and northern boundaries of the woodland are still visible in the current layout. The northern site boundary was marked by Rossington Drain. The 1892 map showed a series of footpaths running through the wood, with two boundaries marked within the wood, possibly narrow streams. By 1962, part of the wood had been cleared, with enclosures shown at the southern side of the formerly wooded area. The woodland was mainly shown as a mixture of wood and scrub by 1980, with more divisions shown within it. By 1989, the site was still mainly shown as wooded, though a small area at the southwest side was part of a depot associated with buildings shown at the western side of the former wood. By 1993, an irregularly-shaped pond was shown at the northern end of the site, which was still shown as largely wooded. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Park Wood to the east of the site, with Bank Wood Lane running on a north-south alignment and along the western side of the buffer, crossed by West End Lane at its southern end. The canalised route of the River Torne ran to the north of and parallel with Rossington Drain. The remaining area was fields. There were no changes until 1930, when New Rossington colliery village had extended into the southern part of the buffer and a mineral railway line and sidings were shown to the north of Rossington Drain. A sewage works was shown between West End Wood and Bank Wood Lane in 1930, with allotment gardens to the south of the wood. By 1948, further housing was under construction in the southwest part of the buffer. The area to the immediate west of the site was shown as a depot yard and warehouse buildings by 1989, with a factory and depot were shown in the southwest part of the buffer and further works, coal and scrap yards shown to the west of Bank Wood Lane. 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 disturbance to sub-surface deposits. The potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried

archaeology is considered to be moderate. The depot site largely preserves the boundary of the former West End Wood, retaining some legibility of the historic landscape character of this area of ancient woodland. 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: Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. The boundary of West End Wood is considered to be of Local historic significance. Note: Site 879 forms the eastern half of larger Site 521.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2012 aerial photographs shown the site as a large area of hardcore-surfaced depot yard, mainly used for storage and parking. The boundary of the depot yard was formerly that of West End Wood. The photographs suggest that there is a slight embankment around the edges of this area, and it is not clear if this was part of the historic woodland boundary or if it indicates that ground levels within the depot have been lowered. Only the northern edge of the site is covered by Lidar data. This shows a drainage ditch depicted on modern mapping, and slight banking around the north edge of the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments, findspots or events within the site. Four monuments are recorded within the buffer. The Sunderland End or Tickhill East Paper Mill was recorded in the northeast part of the buffer and may be on the site of a medieval corn mill. A post-medieval dovecote is recorded to the north of the site off Nettle Croft. Sunderland Road is the route of a 19th-century turnpike road, and a small single-storey cottage at the junction of this road and the A1(M) may be a toll house for this road. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. There are three grade II listed houses along Sunderland Street, one to the north of the site and the other two at the northwest edge of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded an area of earthwork ridge and furrow remains of probable post-medieval date in the southern part of the site. A further area of ridge and furrow was recorded in the buffer to the east, in an area now partly covered by the A1(M). To the west of the site, a sinuous earthwork bank was recorded running roughly in a diagonal line on a southwest to northeast alignment. This was thought to be of medieval date. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the current character of the majority of the site and much of the western and southern 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. The northern edge of the site and the western part of the buffer fall within an area characterised as a modern private housing estate. Further character areas within the buffer include a group of 19th-century detached houses around Sunderland Street to the northwest, a further modern private housing estate to the north, the site of Tickhill Paper Mill and piecemeal enclosures and a modern horticultural nursery to the northeast. The east and southeast parts of the buffer are characterised as Parliamentary Enclosure fields. The site is currently two fields largely in pasture usage, with hedged boundaries. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as two fields forming part of Stocks Meadows. The northern field is narrow and sinuous, and has the appearance of a field enclosed from strips in an open field. The Paper Mill Dike ran along the southern boundary. The site was unchanged by 1962, and is not covered by any further maps until 1992, by which time the current western boundary established by the creation of a housing estate to the north. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map depicts housing along Sunderland Street in the northern part of the buffer, with the remainder of the area being fields. The Paper Mill had been demolished by that date, but its location was labelled. A small gas works had been built on its site by 1893. Buildings to the immediate north of the site appeared to be a farmhouse and associated outbuildings. Other than gradual infilling along Sunderland Street, there were no substantial changes by 1956, but by 1962, the A1(M) had been constructed to the east of the site, and an estate of new housing had been constructed to the northwest area. By 1981, the Lumley Drive housing estate was shown to the west of the site, which had extended further up to the northwest edge of the site by 1992. Survival: The site has been in agricultural use, which 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. The site is part of an area recorded in the Historic Environment Characterisation as largely unchanged since 1854, and most of the current boundaries were depicted in 1854. It is unclear whether the ridge and furrow recorded in the southern field in 1946 still survives as earthworks. 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 Google Earth imagery showed the site as two fields, with mature hedges around the most boundaries. The fields were in use as either pasture or rough grass. A small housing estate had been built to the immediate north after 1992. No changes were shown within the site by 2012. The ridge and furrow recorded in 1946 is not evident on the Google Earth imagery, but it is unclear whether these features currently survive as earthworks as the vertical angle is not ideal for identifying earthworks. There is currently no Lidar data for this site. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2012.

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

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