Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the site, both continuing into the buffer. One findspot is recorded within the buffer. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the site and buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, though its exact location has not been proved within this area and remains speculative. A Roman coin was found in a field near the crematorium, near the northeast edge of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed are recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the northern part of the buffer zone, earthworks and structures associated with a rifle range were recorded on a photograph dated to 1946, in an area since built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northern part of the buffer as Rosehill Cemetery, created in the late 1950s with no legibility of former piecemeal enclosures. The cemetery was probably established in association with early to mid-20th-century housing development in the area. Further character zones within the buffer include plantations to the southeast of the site, private and social housing estates and detached to the north, west and south, and Parliamentary Enclosure fields at the northwest edge. The site is currently a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is at the northwest edge, and a drive to the crematorium runs through the southeast corner. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as the southwest end of a larger field, with the southwest boundary formed by Sand Road. A lane to Wilby ran through the southeast side of the site on a northeast-southwest alignment, and the drive running through the southeast corner was shown, forming an entrance to the parkland associated with Cantley Hall. The 1892 map showed a small enclosure and adjacent structure, possibly a barn, within a wooded area at the southeast end of the site, south of the Wilby lane. Between 1903 and 1930, loss of boundaries meant that the site was part of one much larger field. The lane to Wilby was still shown. By 1937, the current northern boundary was depicted, and the Wilby lane had been removed. The western boundary had been established by 1960, when Ascot Avenue was first shown, and by that date the site was shown in its current layout. The small barn structure shown in 1892 was depicted as a 'ruin' in 1960. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed a lodge to the immediate southeast of the site, surrounded by Lodge Plantation. The lodge was adjacent to a drive leading into Cantley . The remaining area was fields, some to the north of the Sand Road having sinuous boundaries and recorded as Micklehill Field, whilst those to the south of the road were regular in shape and suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure from commons. Rose Hill was shown at the western edge of the buffer. Between 1903 and 1930, the area to the south of Sand Road (now Cantley Lane) was developed with detached housing in well spaced garden plots. Denser housing was shown in the western part of the buffer. The Joint Railway had been constructed at the western side of the buffer, and a rifle range was shown to the north of the site. Rose Hill Cemetery had been established to the north of the site by 1937, with a mortuary chapel and entrance lodge. A crematorium was shown to the east of the cemetery, accessed via the drive from Cantley Lodge, by 1960. At that date, housing covered the former rifle range to the north of the site. Other than further housing infill, the buffer remained unchanged by 1993.

Survival: No evidence for sub-surface disturbance has been shown on any of the historic maps or aerial photographs. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Roman pottery kilns, associated settlement and agriculture have been recorded within the area, and a supposed route of a Roman road runs through 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 Roman road and pottery industries could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Note: Site 400 covers the same area as slightly smaller site 473.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is located at the northwest edge, and a drive to the crematorium runs through the southeast corner, which contains trees that may form part of Lodge Plantation. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue. The area to the north of the site is shown as grave plots, but no evidence for graves continuing into the site is visible. The 2008 aerial view showed a compound within the site, to the east of the car parking area. This had a tarmac or hardcore surface and no permanent buildings, and had gone by 2009 when its location was grassed over. The site of the former compound is visible in the Lidar data, as is a small circular mound of uncertain origin to the south of the car park, not visible on aerial photographs.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site and buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site and buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer to the northeast an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow had been recorded within the park. The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as a planned social housing estate, constructed in the 1960s and comprising cul-de-sacs around square car parking units. There is no time depth of the boundaries or patterns, although some of street frontage to Skellow Road retains Edwardian semi-detached villas. One stone built vernacular building remains at centre of village. Character zones within the buffer mainly comprise a variety of types of housing, a church, a public park and an area of piecemeal enclosures on a former colliery site. The site is currently a green space with a drive way extending south from Sandyfields View. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map depicts the site as a field located within an area of narrow northeast-southwest aligned fields. By 1930, the field had been converted to allotment gardens. By 1977 site boundaries had been established with a roughly square structure labelled a Community Centre built in its southern half. Within the north of the site a drive and parking area had been established, and remain extant to the present day. Within the buffer, the 1851 map depicts a lane to the north of the site, leading northwest from Skellow Lane. By 1892 this lane had gone out of use, its course preserved as a field boundary. A series of small allotments had been established along Skellow Lane and south along an established field boundary by this date. The 1930 map depicted new housing estates and a Baptist Church along Skellow Road to the north and railway infrastructure associated with Bullcroft Main Colliery to the south. Housing development was extending south by 1961, covering the former site of railway infrastructure by 1977. The site is maintained as grassland with the drive and parking area associated with the demolished Community Centre. The site is enclosed by a footpath, there are no boundaries evident. Survival: The southern part of the site is likely to have had significant sub-surface disturbance caused by the construction and demolition of the late 20th-century Community Centre. Within the northern half of the site, there may have been some disturbance from landscaping and the insertion of services. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 1999-2003 aerial photography shows the site as a green area surrounding the Community Centre, drive and parking area. The site is overlooked by residential housing. The Community Centre was demolished after 2008. By 2015 the drive way and parking area appeared to have either been removed, or in a state of deterioration. There is no Lidar data for this site.

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 recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two probable post-medieval boundary ditches within the site and buffer, and part of a probable prehistoric to Roman ditched trackway or boundaries at the eastern edge of the site, continuing into the buffer zone and probably mainly removed by subsequent development in that area. Within the buffer, a probable prehistoric to Roman enclosure and ditched trackway or boundaries were recorded in the northern part, and a further boundary at the southern edge, both groups of features on sites that have since been developed. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer as a planned estate of social housing built in the mid-20th century with no legibility of former enclosures within Park Field. Other character zones within the buffer mainly relate to modern housing, both social and private housing estates, as well as two schools and a sports ground, mainly dating to the mid-20th century. The site is currently vacant land within a housing estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of two fairly large rectangular fields, divided by a boundary running along the current boundary between the two plots. This layout remained unchanged in 1930, when the site was to the east of housing on Broadway. The 1962 map depicted St Edwin's Close, with the southern part of the site as vacant ground between housing plots. The northern part of the site was still part of a large field at that date. By 1970, the site was shown in its current layout, with numerous small sheds or garages along the edges of both plots. Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed regular rectangular fields surrounding the site, with Crookes Broom Lane at the eastern side of the buffer. Drainage ditches ran along the boundaries of fields to the east and west of the site, on a north-south alignment. the By 1930, housing had been developed along Broadway to the west of the site. Some housing was under construction at Crookes Broom Lane in the eastern part of the buffer by 1956. By 1962, St Edwin's Close had been developed to the southwest of the site. The 1970 map showed York Road and housing to the north and east of the site. Survival: The site is surrounded by housing development, but appears to have remained vacant land throughout the 20th century, and was formerly part of fields. There may have been some sub-surface disturbance in association with the construction of the housing estates and insertion of services, but in general the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Possible Iron Age to Romano-British and post- medieval ditches were recorded as cropmarks within the site in the 1960s and fragmentary buried remains of these may survive. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. The significance of remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity would depend on their extent, nature and condition.

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

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as two vacant plots, the southern one at the corner of the St Edwin's Close cul-de sac, and the northern plot behind houses fronting onto York Road. There appears to be an unofficial vehicular route between York Road and St Edwin's Close running through the site, with a hardcore surface. The land is otherwise shown as rough grass with some trees along the southern boundary. A pair of sheds or outbuildings are shown at the eastern edge of the northern plot. Lidar coverage does not show any earthwork features within the site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Lidar data file SE6509. MAL/60427 81731 21-Jun-1960.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records five monuments within the site. These are all associated with Iron Age to Roman activity, including two enclosures recorded through cropmark evidence and geophysical survey, and two pottery kilns, one within an enclosure, the other outside. One of the enclosures was interpreted as a possible settlement site. The strong magnetic signature of the kilns indicated a considerable quantity of burnt clay. It was noted that the geological background would otherwise make identification of infilled ditch-features difficult through geophysical survey. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. It is unclear whether the features were excavated; the SMR records only refer to geophysical survey and surface finds but the HEC data for this site states that kilns were excavated in this area. The Doncaster pottery industry area continues into the buffer, where five findspots and one further monument are recorded. Four of the findspots are of Neolithic flint tools, including an axe head found to the northwest of the site on Doncaster Racecourse and a flint knife, flakes and a scraper found to the southwest of the site. A Roman coin was found in association with the remains of a hearth to the east of the site. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the southwest edge 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 recorded a clear pattern of Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field boundaries within the site, including one of the enclosures identified by geophysical survey at the southeast side of the site, though the second enclosure is not shown as a cropmark. More fragmentary ditches of uncertain date are recorded within the northwest part of the buffer. Earthworks and structures associated with a firing range were recorded in the southeast part of the buffer on a 1940s photograph, though this area has since been built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as surveyed enclosure, an area of small, regular fields probably enclosed from commons by Parliamentary Award in 1771. Further character zones within the buffer include Redhouse Plantation to the immediate northeast of the site, Doncaster Racecourse on former common land to the northwest, a mixture of private and social housing estates and detached houses, a public park, allotment gardens and a cemetery. The site is currently a field covered in rough grass and shrub, with Redhouse Plantation to the northeast. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of three fields with fairly regular boundaries. One boundary had been removed by 1892, to create one large and one smaller field. The current southern boundary was formed by 1930, when a railway line was built, and the site was shown as one field between the railway and the racecourse at that date. No further changes were shown within the site by 1993. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows Doncaster Common and racecourse to the immediate northwest of the site, and Rose Hill farm or large to the southwest. Sand Road is shown at the southern edge of the buffer and the remaining area is fields or unenclosed common land. Redhouse Plantation was shown to the northeast of the site in 1892, separated by a drainage ditch. By 1930, the South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been built along the southern boundary of the site. Housing was shown to the south of Rose Hill and Sand Road at that date, and Cantley Rifle range was located to the southeast of the railway line. By 1956, housing estates had been built over the rifle range, and a cemetery was shown to the south of the housing. The 1961 map showed a golf course within the area surrounded by the racecourse. Housing had been built up to the southwest edge of the site by 1976.

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

Survival: There has been no sub-surface disturbance recorded on historic mapping or aerial photographs. Cropmarks and geophysical survey have recorded Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and possible settlement enclosures within the site, as well as two Roman pottery kilns. It is possible that the kilns have been excavated, though this is not clear from the SMR record. The extent of the area covered by geophysical survey is also unknown, and further kilns and associated remains could survive within the field. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be high. Further investigations: This site has a high potential for the survival of significant archaeological remains associated with Roman settlement, agriculture and pottery production. Further consideration should be made of its capacity for housing development. Significance: Remains associated with the Roman pottery industry and associated settlement are part of a wider industrial and agricultural landscape within this area considered to be of Regional archaeological significance. Note: Site 407 covers the same area as Site 350.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as a field with rough grass vegetation, with hedges along the north and northwest boundaries, and a railway line along the southeast boundary. No shrubs or trees were shown within the site in 2002, but the vegetation became rougher and more scrub developed up to 2015. Lidar data shows the drainage ditch at the north end of the site, and a possible further ditch along the northwest boundary. The only other features visible within the site are modern footpaths.

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 recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, fragmentary Iron Age to Roman boundary ditches were recorded as cropmarks in the southern part of the buffer, probably forming part of a trackway, as well as a number of ditches of a field system of uncertain date in the northeast, all from a photograph taken in the 1970s. Levelled ridge and furrow remains were recorded in the field to the northeast of the site on a 1948 photograph. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site and the northern part of the buffer as surveyed and piecemeal enclosure, some enclosed prior to the 1825 Parliamentary Award. Extensive boundary loss in this area has eroded the pattern of the enclosed landscape. A small part at the eastern side of the site is characterised as part of the extensive Broadway planned estate of inter-war social housing, which also extends into the south part of the buffer. Further character zones in the buffer include later 20th-century housing and industrial premises. The site is currently an area of rough grazing on the edge of the housing estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of a field with a curving northern boundary, with a dotted line along it suggesting it formed a parish boundary. Trees were shown in the northwest corner, within the site, and the field was labelled Dunscroft Wood. In 1893, the wood was shown as a small area of trees confined to the northwest corner of the field, which had been enlarged to the east. The current site boundary had been established by 1932, when housing was under construction to the south. The wood was no longer shown within the site at that date. There were subsequently no changes to the site by the time of the 1992 OS map. Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed a mixture of regular and irregularly-shaped fields surrounding the site, with Park Lane running through to the south of the site. This was renamed Station Road by the time of the 1892 map. Between 1906 and 1932, The Crescent had been laid out to the south of the site, and housing was under construction fronting onto the road, as well as to the south along Broadway and west along Station Road. The 1962 map showed a bungalow (named 'The Bungalow') in a small enclosure to the north of the site. By 1972, Greenacre Farm had been built to the northeast of The Crescent and an engineering works was shown at Hop Hills at the eastern edge of the buffer. Survival: The site was occupied by woodland from at least the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, and there is likely to be some sub-surface disturbance caused by tree roots and felling activity. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is moderate. Fragmentary Iron Age to Roman ditches have been recorded as cropmarks within the buffer, though none are in the immediate vicinity of the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the majority of the site as a small field on the edge of the housing estate, with rough grass and scrub vegetation. The eastern part of the site is within a larger field, also shown as grassland. A small field in the buffer to the north of the site had been stripped of topsoil by 2002, probably in association with the demolition of The Bungalow shown in this area from 1972-1992. Tough grass and scrub had regenerated within this field by 2008. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument and three events within the site. Five monuments and nine events are recorded within the buffer zone. The events within the site relate to archaeological evaluations, one of which recorded evidence for disturbed deposits associated with medieval occupation, which are also the monument recorded within the site. Further evaluation trenching was undertaken within the site in 2014 and monitoring of geotechnical test pits in 2016. The second evaluation did not find any evidence for in situ medieval deposits, with the features encountered relating to post-medieval occupation and agricultural activity, including the remains of housing in the current car park area. One of the monuments recorded within the buffer is Peel Hill motte, the site of a medieval castle, which is located immediately adjacent to the site. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One Scheduled Monument, one grade I listed building and 15 grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone. The Scheduled Monument is Peel Hill motte and bailey medieval castle, immediately adjacent to the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded earthworks associated with the Peel Hill motte Scheduled Monument within the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as overgrown Orchards in the central and southern part of the site, Villas/Detached housing in the northeast corner and Nursing /Almshouses in the southeast end. Within the buffer, landscape character types include Medieval to Modern Vernacular Cottages, Industrial to Modern Nursing Home/Almshouses, Industrial to Modern Orchard, Modern Villas/Detached Houses and Modern Private Housing Estate. The site is located immediately to the west and southwest of a medieval motte and bailey castle and formed part of the castle’s ‘Hall Garth’, an enclosed plot or garden, in the later medieval and early post-medieval periods. It currently comprises overgrown grassland and scrub, and a car park. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1825 enclosure map showed most of the site as part of four fields that may have originated as crofts or burgage plots associated with buildings fronting onto King Street. Buildings, possibly barns or sheds, were shown along the southwest edge of the site and probable houses within the southeast side at that date. The 1853 map showed the majority of the site as a single plot which also contained the motte and numerous trees, with several small buildings along the northwest boundary. The houses at the southeast end were still shown. This layout was largely unchanged by 1950, but by 1962 a new building was shown along the northwest boundary and the trees were confined to the southern end of the site. Some of the houses to the southeast had been demolished by that date, with the others cleared by 1976. The building at the northwest had been removed by 1987. Within the buffer zone, the 1825 enclosure map showed crofts to the northwest of the site and new enclosures to the northeast. To the south and west the site was bound by the urban development of Thorne, which included a Quaker Meeting House immediately to the southwest of the motte. A burial ground associated with the meeting house was revealed immediately outside the site in the 2014 evaluation. The medieval church of St Nicholas is located to the east of the site. Housing developed along the King Street and Church Street frontages throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Market Place, a bank, a public house, a Congregational Chapel, Elm House, Stonegate House and a Pentecostal Church being marked in this period. To the east of the site, a Grammar School had been established by 1932, and the enclosed fields to the north were converted for use as allotments. By the 1960s the land to the north and northeast of the site had developed further with modern housing, replacing the allotments. A building was shown to the immediate north of the site in 1962, labelled Peel Hill House in 1987.

Survival: Archaeological evaluation has demonstrated the survival of archaeological deposits and features within the site, with remains of post-medieval agricultural and occupation activity found during trial trenching, as well as limited evidence for disturbed medieval occupation deposits. Foundations of the post-medieval to modern housing in the southeast corner of the site were also found. Further investigations: Given the presence of Peel Hill motte Scheduled Monument adjoining this site, it has to be considered to have major concerns for allocation. Further consideration of the setting of the monument and of the physical impact on archaeological remains outside the Scheduled area would be required to establish the capacity for housing. Significance: The archaeological remains so far recorded in evaluations within the remainder of the site are considered to be of Local archaeological significance. In general, the site is classified as being of National significance due to the presence of the adjacent Scheduled Monument.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as an area of rough grassland, with trees and hedges along much of the northern perimeter. A car park occupied the site of the former houses to the north of Church Street by 2002 and retained this function in 2009. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Hill, Thorne ESY257 Thorne Grammar In 2004 a geophysical survey and a programme of trial Y School trenching was undertaken at Thorne Grammar School. The results of the geophysical survey detected groups of linear anomalies probably reflecting traces of ridge and furrow ploughing and a former field system. The trial trenching confirmed that the anomalies detected in the geophysical survey related to the medieval/post-medieval agricultural use of the site. A number of pits and linear features dating from the 17th/18th century in the south-west of the site were discovered. ESY258 Thorne Church Hall In January 2005 a watching brief was conducted at the Thorne Y Church Hall. The results demonstrated that the site had suffered from recent truncation despite being in an area of high archaeological potential for medieval activity. A small area of patterned floor tiles of modern date was revealed with a cobbled floor surface. ESY260 1-2 Market Place & In April 2005 a historic building assessment was undertaken by Y 8 Silver Street M & M Archaeological Services ahead of complete demolition. ESY262 Land off Ellison In March 2002 3 trenches were excavated on land off Ellison Y Street Street.

School adjacent to the junction of St. Nicolas Road and Church Balk were likely to be associated with 20th century quarrying with modern dumping deposits recorded in all of the trial trenches. ESY266 Archaeological In June 2005 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken for Y evaluation on land land at Elm House off Stonegate. The results revealed that the at Stonegate tarmac car park had been laid directly on the previous topsoil and subsoil. Two rubble filled features were cut into the subsoil and contained fragments of handmade bricks. A small quantity of late medieval and early post-medieval pottery was recovered and considered to be from activity in the general area rather than specific to the site. ESY483 Archaeological In June 2001 an a programme of trial trenching was Y Evaluation on land undertaken for land off Queen Street. The trenches revealed off Queen Street brick built structures dating to the 19th and 20th century and in trench 4 located near to Queen Street contained deposits relating to the construction of a house front onto the road, which was reported to have incorporated a date stone of AD 1640. A second trench contained a series of animals burials mainly of juvenile livestock from the farm. ESY537 Archaeological In September 2003 a trial trench was excavated at Priory Y Evaluation at Priory Cottage. No features of archaeological significance were Cottage recovered but two sub-circular features, possibly modern post holes, and an irregular tree-bowl was identified. ESY1343 Evaluation Eight trenches were excavated to evaluate land to the south Y trenching on land and west of Peel Hill motte. No remains predating the 18th adjacent to Peel century were encountered. Footings for 18th to 20th century Hill motte, Thorne buildings were recorded in the southern part of the area, along with grave cuts associated with an 18th-/19th-century Quaker burial ground. ESY1374 Trial trenching at Three trenches were excavated at Peel Hill Motte, Thorne. A Y Peel Hill Motte, 19th century brick floor surface contained reused bricks of Thorne 16th-19th century date. This, and the amount of brick found in later layers, suggests that the castle probably incorporated red brick. Foundation stones were excavated on the top of the motte, and these suggest a square plan. However they may related to an interior structure rather than the tower itself. ESY1561 8 Market Place, A watching brief was maintained when foundation trenches Y Thorne for a domestic extension were excavated. The trenches were relatively shallow and were mainly cut through modern brick footings. A single dressed sandstone block was recovered from the northwestern corner of the site and is thought to be of post-medieval date. ESY1565 21 Finkle Street, An extension to the post office involved the excavation of Y Thorne, Watching foundation trenches some way back from the street frontage. Brief No archaeological features were located, but a three- centimetre thick band of peat was visible in the side of the trench. This was not deemed to require further investigation, but the area was noted as one with possible significance should future development take place closer to the street.

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 recorded 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 also to the northwest of the site, within the buffer zone. The earthworks within the site have been levelled 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 from 1905-7. This area of 'New Village' 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- 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 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.

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 does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three events are recorded in the buffer zone: a gradiometer survey and two archaeological evaluations that recorded Iron Age to Roman field boundary ditches, as well as a possible pit cluster and medieval and recent cultivation features. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded levelled ridge and furrow in the southern part of the site. Probable Iron Age-Roman boundary ditches, levelled ridge and furrow and the site of a post mill were also recorded in the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Planned Estate (Social Housing). This forms part of a housing estate dating to the late 1940s, consisting mostly of semi-detached properties on a geometric street plan. Prior to this the area was agricultural, consisting of fields with regular and straight boundaries enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1785. The area may have been cultivated as open fields before enclosure. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Agglomerated Fields, Other Industry, Villas/Detached Housing, Planned Estate (Social Housing), Public Park, School, Glassworks and . The site comprises a strip of scrubland between housing and gardens on the west and a railway embankment on the east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. Other than Dodge Dike, the only features within the site at that date were field boundaries. A railway line was built along the eastern side of the site by 1930 and electricity pylons had been erected along the western site boundary by 1937. Several of the rear gardens of properties on the east side of Wilberforce Road extended into the site by 1961. A row of garages stood in the north and south parts of the site at that date. No further changes were shown within the site on the 1993 OS map. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Thorn Lane, Hungerhill Lane, Thorne Road, Sandall Cottages, Sandall Brick and Tile Yard, a clay pit and a ‘water engine’. The South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been constructed by 1930. A nursery was also shown in the buffer at that date. The Clay Lane housing estate was under construction by 1955, with further housing shown in 1981. Extensive industrial development had taken place in the northern part of the buffer by 1993. Survival: The site was fields by 1854 and remains undeveloped land, apart from garages constructed within the site, which are unlikely to have involved deep ground disturbance. The construction of the adjacent railway embankment may have involved some disturbance within the site. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is currently unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and associated activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Allotments. These were developed in parallel with the late 19th- and early 20th-century Roman Terrace development to the south. In the late 20th century, plots to the south and south-west were lost to playing fields and housing connected to the development of the 'Highwoods' estate. There is no legibility of the former 'Dolcliffe Common' (enclosed 1861) to the west of this area. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Terraced Housing, Planned Estate (Social Housing), Playing Fields/Recreation Ground, Private Housing Estate, Semi-detached Housing, Nursing Home/Almshouse and Reclaimed Mine. The site is currently in use as allotments. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. A footpath crossed the site at that date. Along with field boundaries, this had been removed by 1892. The site was shown as allotment gardens on the 1930 OS map. A track crossed the site at that date. A small number of sheds that were shown within the allotments on the 1957 map had been removed by 1969. No further changes were shown within the site on Ordnance Survey maps produced up to 1989. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map including fields, field boundaries, Dolcliff Common and a footpath to High Wood Farm. Housing, the South Yorkshire Fire Clay Works and an associated clay pit were marked within the buffer in 1892. Further housing and the Mexborough Brick Works were shown on the 1903 map, with allotments and further housing by 1930. A clothing factory, a workmen’s hostel, several clubs and a playground were marked on the 1957 OS map. Wath Road Playing Field and further housing developments were shown within the buffer on the 1971 map, with more housing by 1980. No substantial changes were shown within the buffer on the 1989 OS map. Survival: The site was fields by 1854 and allotments by 1930. No deep ground disturbance is known to have taken place within the site and the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as allotments. There is no lidar data for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site or buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are located within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the character of the site as Planned Estate (Social Housing), part of the ‘Tree Estate’ constructed c.1970 in a geometric layout, with fragmentary legibility of former Parliamentary Enclosure fields preserved in the exterior boundaries of the estate. Character zones within the buffer include drained wetland enclosed in the 17th and 19th centuries, with partial legibility of the enclosure landscape, further modern housing estates and a modern industrial estate which began life as an electronics works in the 1960s. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the southeast edge of the buffer, former brickworks at King Edward Road. The site was a part of a 1970s housing estate until the mid-2000s, when the buildings were cleared. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 map depicted the site as part of fields enclosed from North Common. The northern boundary of the site was marked by a lane running into the fields from Marshland Road. The site remained largely unchanged until housing associated with the Tree Estate was constructed between 1966 and 1971. This comprised blocks of four conjoined houses set at right angles to Willow Grove Road, with access drives in between paired groups of housing and gardens to the rear. This layout remained unchanged in 1987. Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed regular fields enclosed from commons. The road system was shown but no buildings were located within the area. A brickworks was shown at the southeast edge of the buffer in 1892. By 1932 small areas of housing had been built to the northeast and south of the buffer, with part of the Tree Estate under construction to the south of the site by 1956. The Frontier Works was shown on the 1962 map. Further housing had been built by 1971, with no significant changes by 1987. Survival: The construction and demolition of housing and insertion of associated services is likely to have disturbed any buried deposits within the site. The potential for the survival of significant archaeological remains is considered to be low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible. Note: This site is almost identical to Site 807.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded at the eastern edge of the buffer, the cropmark remains of an enclosure and field system and trackways of probable Iron Age to Roman date. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site and buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. An Iron Age to Roman enclosure and field boundaries were recorded as cropmarks at the eastern edge of the buffer, also recorded on the SMR. Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as a planned social housing estate, built between 1966 and 1988. At least two possible phases are discernible, one marked by semi-detached properties of near traditional form, the other marked by a lack of private space, with no legibility of historic features or landscapes. Within the buffer, character zones include further planned social housing, semi-detached and private housing estates, as well as a playing field and allotments. One area of agglomerated fields is recorded at the north and eastern edges of the buffer. One area of historic landfill is recorded at the eastern edge of the buffer, the former Brickworks Quarry, used for industrial waste disposal. The site is currently under grass, with a road network relating to a housing estate demolished after 2008. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map records the site as within a network of rectangular enclosures to the southwest of Wind Hill. By 1892 a small covered reservoir had been established at the north end of the site, with two coal shaft mounds shown as ‘Old Shafts’ in the southern part of the site. Housing development had extended into the site by 1938, shown in 1958 as rows of small, detached houses along a network of roads. Most of these had been demolished by 1969, though houses still survived at the southern end of the site. The northern part of the site had been redeveloped with rows of conjoined two-storey houses by 1981, with garages shown adjacent to the reservoir at the northern end. These were demolished after 2008. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows only fields within the buffer. By 1892, Mexborough Water Works had been established to the southeast, adjacent to an ‘Old Quarry’. By 1930 Mexborough’s suburban development had extended into the buffer from the south, with further housing to the north by 1938. Housing estates had been constructed to the east by 1972. Survival: Due to the two phases of social housing development on the site, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: It is unlikely that further archaeological investigation will be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site and extending across most of the buffer. This is the Woodlands Colliery Village, designed by Percy Houfton in c.1908 for the 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. Within the buffer, two further monuments are recorded, both referring to the Roman road along the western edge of the buffer. This includes both the ‘suggested route’ of a Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry, Doncaster and Castleford, and the evidence for the survival of remains of this road from survey and evaluation trenching, which are two of the five events within the buffer. Two further events comprised investigations of an Iron Age to Roman field system, identified through geophysical survey and evaluation trenching at the northeast edge of the buffer. The fifth event was a palaeoenvironmental survey that extended just into the southwest edge of the buffer, which dated peat formation to two episodes in the Iron Age and early medieval periods. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Fourteen grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer, all relating to the early development of the Woodlands Colliery Village c.1908. These include the Woodlands First and Middle Schools to the immediate south of the site, and All Saints Church further to the west, as well as semi-detached housing within the village. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of an area of municipal and institutional buildings within the core of Woodlands colliery village. Many of these buildings are listed and form an integral part of the architecturally important . Character zones within the buffer include the Park and Woodlands North components of the colliery village, 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. The hall was built c.1795 and converted into a miners’ welfare centre and recreation ground in the early 20th century. Within the eastern part of the buffer is the c.1908 commercial core, the 1930s extension of the village in a less significant style and grid-iron pattern, and 1930s and later school and housing. The site was occupied with late 20th-century blocks of two-storey flats in 2009, with no architectural significance. At least half of these buildings had been demolished by 2015. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as part of a field at Beck Hill in 1851, with the northern boundary formed by Green Lane and the eastern boundary by the Great North Road. This remained unchanged in 1906. By 1930, the colliery village had been built and the majority of the site was shown as an open market place, with a large building at the northeast corner (labelled 'Salvation Army Hall' in 1962) and three smaller buildings on the north and south frontages. The 1962 map showed two rectangular buildings in the central part of the site associated with the market place, and further buildings in the southwest corner. By 1966, two large buildings were shown at the western side of the site. By 1984, all the buildings on the site had been demolished and replaced with three blocks of buildings, shown on aerial photographs as conjoined two-storey houses or flats. Within the buffer, the 1851 map showed Woodlands Hall and Park to the south and southeast, a lane labelled Roman Road to the west and two small 'old' limestone quarries, one adjacent to the Roman road and one to the north of Green Lane. Fields surrounding the site were characteristic of Parliamentary Enclosure, possibly from open fields. The southern boundary of the field containing the site was formed by an un-named lane. The 1892 map showed Woodlands Cottages at the northeast corner of the park, southeast of the site. Woodlands Colliery Village was first shown on the 1930 OS map, with the area to the north of the site laid out as semi-detached

housing on geometrically-planned with open space behind the houses. A church, mission room and hall were to the west of the site and schools and Methodist chapels to the south, with housing to the east. To the east of the Great North Road, the houses were arranged in a grid pattern, with narrow gardens behind. A fire station was shown on the site of the former mission hall in 1962, and the school to the south had been enlarged. Survival: The majority of the site has been built on in the 20th century, including a phase of late 20th-century , and at least some of these buildings have been demolished. This activity is likely to have disturbed or removed any buried archaeological remains within the site. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development; however, an assessment of the impact of the development on the setting of the nearby grade II listed buildings may be required. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site occupied by three block of two-storey houses or flats, with grass verges to the front and car parking areas and a lawn area in between the blocks. By 2015, the western block had been demolished and grassed over. No features other than modern building platforms are visible on the Lidar coverage.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site and buffer, which lie within the Doncaster Pottery Production Area. This area contains frequent remains of Roman pottery kilns and associated settlement. One event is recorded within the site, extending into the buffer: archaeological monitoring and trenching along the route of a water pipeline, which did not record any archaeological features within the site or buffer. Two further events are recorded within the buffer, geophysical survey and field evaluation to the south of the site. The evaluation revealed a scatter of pits and postholes with generally sterile deposits. The features are therefore undated. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the present character or the site and the northern and south- eastern parts of the buffer as a private housing estate and villas/detached housing in Bessacarr., with no legibility of the former Parliamentary enclosure in 1779. Roman pottery kilns were excavated in the early 1950s ahead of the construction of the housing estate and form an important regional group. The south of the buffer is recorded as a school. The site is currently an area of green space between housing estates, with an area of car parking for residents to the northwest. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a complex of divided fields. By 1930 the fields to the southwest of the site had been further sub-divided and houses built within these plots. Further development in this area can be seen on the 1962 OS map. By 1982 the area had taken on its current form, with the site surviving as an undeveloped plot surrounded by development. Survival: Cartographic assessment shows that the site has been used for farming and is surrounded by modern development, which may have led to some disturbance to sub-surface deposits within the site. It is considered that there is a low to moderate potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site. The site is within an area known for remains of Roman pottery production. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman pottery production and associated settlement could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Recent aerial photography shows that the site is open grassland that has been used by the local community for recreational purposes. The rectangular area in the north of the site is concreted, and since 2008 has been used for what appears to be commercial storage. Lidar data does not show any anomalies present within the site.

SMR Record/event Reference Name Details Site? Buffer? ID 04930 The Doncaster A series of potteries have been recorded and excavated in the Y Y Roman Pottery Doncaster district over several decades. The potteries may be Production Area considered a single industrial entity that stretches across several kilometres to the east of Doncaster. To date, sites have been recorded in the parishes of Cantley, Rossington, Blaxton, Auckley and Doncaster. ESY896 Geophysical Survey No definite archaeological anomalies were detected by the Y at Goodison detailed gradiometer survey. Areas of magnetic disturbance Boulevard, and isolated magnetic dipolar responses caused by materials Doncaster of high ferrous content are present over most of the site and are specially concentrated around the footprint of the demolished school buildings. These are considered to be modern origin, although the presence of archaeological features beneath the modern material cannot be determinate if these are caused by archaeological or geological features, a geological origin is considered most probable. Such responses are more evident to the east of the survey area. ESY898 Geological Field Following a geophysical survey of the land by Mett Surveys Y Evaluation of Land (2004), fourteen trenches were dug across the site to test the at Goodison result by Mell Survey and the potential survival of Boluevard, archaeological deposits. The evaluation revealed a scatter of Bessacarr, postholes and pits with the generally sterile deposits. No Doncaster, South cultural material was associated with these features and they Yorkshire remain undated. ESY908 Archaeological Excavations at two sites along the route of the pipeline Y Y Monitoring and revealed ditches and trackways corresponding to recorded Trial Trenching at cropmarks of Iron Age to Romano-British field systems. Doncaster Water Excavation of a third site at Kilham Farm close to the site of Pipeline, South Romano British pottery kilns also revealed a number of field Yorkshire ditches forming part of a locally, if not regionally important complex of cropmarks in the area to the east of Doncaster. The excavations confirmed the presence of field systems identified from cropmarks, as well as identifying features not visible on aerial photographs. Despite an almost complete absence of artefactual and environmental evidence from the features, excavations have provided an insight into the use and re-use of Iron Age and Romano-British field system in the region.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records ten monuments or findspots and five events within the site. The findspots comprise three Bronze Age spearheads, a Roman artefact scatter and a Roman pottery scatter, whilst monuments include Iron Age and Roman field systems and settlement remains, an undated field system, a post-medieval flood bank and the site of . There are five events recorded within the site. A series of evaluations within the northern part of the site included sedimentological study, geophysical survey and evaluation trenches. These identified extensive Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural remains surviving in this area, with good levels of preservation and some limited palaeoenvironmental potential. Within the central part of the site, geophysical survey at Bootham Lane and trial trenching at Hatfield Colliery identified only post-medieval field boundaries, with no recommendations made for further archaeological investigations. In the southern part of the site, fieldwalking and a borehole survey relating to the Hatfield Regeneration Relief Road did not identify any deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential, and recovered apparently unworked flints. Within the buffer, the SMR records nine monuments or findspots and three events. The findspots comprise a Neolithic axe head, a Roman artefact scatter and a Roman pottery scatter, whilst monuments include Late Devensian and Holocene sediment sequences, Iron Age to Roman field systems and a post-medieval flood bank. Events include a watching brief at Bootham Lane and an archaeological evaluation at Station Road, Hatfield, neither of which identified significant archaeological remains, and a sedimentological survey at Fishlake. There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. One grade II listed building is located within the site: the no.1 and no.2 Headstocks, Hatfield Colliery. Within the buffer there are two grade II listed buildings: Lock Cottages; and Townend Farm. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded patches of fragmentary field boundaries, which could be of Iron Age to post-medieval date in the central west part of the site, and post-medieval ditches, a retting pond and Hatfield Colliery within the southeast part of the site. Fragmentary remains of field boundaries and trackways are recorded within the buffer to the north, east and west, with Second World War air raid shelters in the southwest area. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the southern half of the site as Surveyed Enclosure with a much-eroded boundary pattern following agglomeration of fields in the 20th century. A modern colliery spoil tip from Hatfield Main Colliery is also located within this area, with a modern Service Station covering part of the eastern edge. The central part of the site is mainly characterised as Hatfield Main deep shaft coal mine, with no legibility of former landscapes in this area. An area at the western corner of the site is a modern Recreation Ground. The predominant character in the northern part of the site is modern Agglomerated Fields, created through the loss of 19th-century enclosure boundaries, with a small part at the northern tip of the site being modern Drained Wetland, with no visibility of former valley floor meadows. Character zones within the buffer include: Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private), Modern Motorway Services, Modern Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions, Modern Valley Floor Meadows, Drained Wetland, Modern Agglomerated Fields, Deep Shaft Coal Mine, Modern Artificial Lake, Modern Sports Ground, Modern Romany or Other Traveller Community Site, Modern Distribution centre, Modern Prison, Modern Semi-Detached Housing, Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing), Modern Private Housing Estate, Modern Prefabs, Modern Villas/Detached Housing, Modern School, Modern Other Industry, Modern Golf Course and Modern Spoil heap. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: No features were shown within the site on Josias Aurelebout’s 1639 map of Hatfield Chase. Stainforth Ings Drain and North Ings Drain were marked on the 1841 OS map, along with Bootham Farm and a brick kiln. The South Yorkshire Railway had been constructed through the site’s central area by 1851 and was shown with Stainforth Station on the 1854 OS map. Town End House, Carr House, a tile kiln and a gravel pit were also marked within the

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

site at that date. A disused gravel pit occupied the site of the early 19th-century brick kiln by 1893. Hatfield Main Colliery, sunk in the western part of the site between 1908 and 1917, was in full production by 1921. Several railway lines connected the colliery with the main railway immediately to the south and east. These were clearly shown on the 1948 OS map, which also marked mineral railways and a colliery explosives magazine to the northeast of the pit. Two sewage works, a pumping station and a series of allotments were also shown in 1948. An aerial ropeway for transporting coal had been constructed to the northeast of the colliery by 1956. The area beneath the ropeway formed one of two spoilheaps by 1966. Further spoilheaps were shown on the 1975 and 1984 OS maps. The colliery’s mineral railways had been dismantled by the latter date. Within the buffer zone, Ashfield Bank was constructed as a flood defence by Cornelius Vermuyden in 1628. The Stainforth and Keadby Canal was opened at the north of the site in 1802 and was shown with Dunston Hill Swing Bridge on the 1841 OS map. Extensive housing developments shown in the western part of the buffer zone from the 1920s may have been built principally for miners employed at Hatfield Main. The M18 had been constructed in the eastern part of the buffer zone by 1975. Hatfield Marina opened in 1979. Survival: Evaluations in the northern part of the site have indicated a high potential for the survival of buried archaeology across the majority of this area. Due to the development of Hatfield Main Colliery and its associated spoilheaps, the likely survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets in the central part of the DN7 site is considered to be low to negligible. Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance across much of the southern part of the site, there is a moderate to high potential for the survival of buried archaeology in this area. Further investigations: Given the known presence of a complex of buried archaeological remains on the northern part of the site, further consideration of the physical impact on these would be required to establish capacity for any housing and/or employment use. The colliery formerly occupying the central part of the site has caused substantial ground disturbance, therefore no intrusive archaeological investigation is likely to be required in this area. Any standing buildings associated with Hatfield Colliery may warrant consideration for archaeological recording, and the impact of development on the setting of the listed headstocks will be a wider heritage concern. Given the little apparent disturbance in the southern part of the site, further investigation would be required to establish the extent of survival and significance of buried archaeology in this area. Significance: The northern part of the site has demonstrated the survival of Romano-British settlement and agricultural remains considered to be of at least regional and potentially of national significance. The buried archaeological resource in the central part of the site is considered to have a negligible archaeological significance, although any standing remains of Hatfield Colliery could be heritage assets of local to national significance, in particular the grade II listed headstocks. Within the southern part of the site, the archaeological significance is currently unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the central part of the site dominated by Hatfield Main Colliery and its associated spoilheaps. The remainder of the site was occupied principally by a mixture of pasture and arable fields, with areas of scrub. Several cropmark features are visible in the arable fields in the north-east part of the site. Many of the Hatfield Main Colliery buildings had been removed by 2009. The colliery closed in 2015. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

A borehole survey did not identify any deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential, and the mapping of the area as alluvium over Sherwood Sandstone appears to be at odds with the nature of the sequences identified during this survey. Field-walking in 2004 found small quantities of probably unworked flints in two fields. ESY251 Bootham Lane In October 1995 a geophysical survey was conducted at Y Bootham Lane. The results indicated the presence of old field boundaries with evidence of ploughing, possibly ridge and furrow. ESY282 Hatfield Colliery Seventeen trial trenches were excavated around the northern Y and western perimeter of the development area. Thirteen of these were devoid of archaeological features. The only archaeological feature identified during the evaluation was a field boundary shown on the 1826 Stainforth enclosure map. No significant archaeological or palaeoenvironmental remains were revealed and no further archaeological work was recommended.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, an Iron Age to Romano-British rectangular enclosure and field system, recorded as cropmarks at the south-eastern end of the site. One monument and one findspot are recorded within the buffer zone: to the south of the site are more cropmarks of Iron Age to Romano-British field systems; and two Roman coins were found to the north of the site. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records extensive Iron Age to Roman crop marks within the site, including enclosures and field boundaries. These extend to the south of the site and are part of a wider landscape of such features. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern and western areas of the buffer zone as surveyed enclosure, former common lands enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1779. There is no legibility of the former commons. The eastern half of the buffer zone comprised agglomerated fields, and the northern end of the buffer zone is characterised by a mixture of modern housing types. The site currently comprises a single field in arable use. To the north is the modern settlement of Armthorpe, to the west is a small area of woodland, and to the south and east are fields. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown as a single field on the 1854 map, within the same boundaries as at the present day. The area was labelled ‘Tranmoor’. In 1894 a small track was depicted, running along the western edge of the site. No obvious changes were shown on later historical mapping. Within the buffer zone, in 1854 the area surrounding the site comprised fields, with very few structures. Tranmoor Wood was located to the immediate west of the site, with Tranmoor Lane to the northwest on a north- south alignment and Tranmoor Cottage at the southern end the lane. Fields to the northwest were labelled ‘South Field’ and those to the southeast were ‘Park Closes’. By 1961, the majority of field boundaries to the north of the site had been removed, with some partial removal of field boundaries to the southeast. Housing development at Armthorpe was well established by 1982, with houses constructed up to the northern site boundary. By 1993 the housing development had spread further, covering the entire northern half of the buffer zone and beyond. Survival: The site was enclosed by 1779 and has likely been in agricultural use ever since. This may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits, but below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be high. Field boundaries and possible settlement enclosures of Iron Age to Roman date are recorded within the site as cropmarks. Further investigations: The presence of possible Iron Age to Roman settlement enclosures and fields within the site indicates that further consideration should be made of the capacity of the site for housing development. Significance: The probable Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field boundaries recorded across the site form part of a regionally important complex of cropmarks in the area to the east of Doncaster.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs demonstrate little change on the site since the 1993 map; indeed the site has changed little since the 1854 OS map, with the current site boundaries being extant by that time. The southern, eastern and western areas of the buffer zone are also still recognisable from the 1854 map, despite the loss of some field boundaries. A small area of woodland present immediately to the west of the site was also present on the 1854 map. The site is currently in use as arable land. No earthworks of archaeological origin were identified within the available Lidar data for the site. Some linear features correlate with modern ploughing on aerial photographs and are unlikely to be archaeological in nature. Photograph references: Google Earth Images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: SMR records show that no monuments or events are located within the site. One event clips the southern edge of the buffer, a watching brief that recorded pits of Iron Age or Roman date. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site as within an area of agglomerated fields which are semi regular in pattern, with much boundary loss in the 20th century meaning that the pattern of former Parliamentary Enclosure fields is only fragmentary. A small portion of the northern and southern parts of the buffer are recorded as sand and gravel extraction areas. To the north is a small sand and gravel pit first depicted on the 1968 OS map. Austerfield Quarry in the south is a sand and gravel quarry which is first depicted on the 1929 OS map. However, quarrying probably began in 1911 as a find spot for a 'Romano-British Urn' is marked here with that date. The site is currently a field in arable cultivation, with a possibly active quarry to the southwest. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of three narrow fields in an area known as ‘High Field’. No changes were shown by 1956, but the 1962 map shows that two of the fields had been amalgamated and a sand and gravel pit was shown to the immediate west, another to the south. By 1992 the field boundaries have taken the form which remains today. Within the buffer, the area is mainly shown as fields in 1854. Austerfield Quarry first appears on the 1929 OS map to the south of the buffer, and two disused sand and gravel pits are shown to the west and east of the site by 1962. A water works building had also been built just west of the junction of High Field Lane and the main road. The quarry pits to either side of the site had been infilled by 1992. Survival: The area has been utilised for sand and gravel extraction during the 20th century, although there is no record of the site itself having been quarried. Recent cultivation may have caused some truncation to any below-ground deposits, but the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Recent aerial photographs show that the site as being used as arable land, being regularly cultivated. It appears that the area directly to the west of the site may be used as a dirt bike track, whilst a possibly active quarry is located to the southwest. Lidar data does not show any earthworks within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, the estimated site of the medieval river fishery at Hatfield recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 as belonging to William de Warenne. It is thought to have been located adjacent to the old course of the River Don. No monuments or event are recorded within the buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or buffer zone The Magnesian Limestone Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records earthwork post-medieval ridge and furrow within the buffer zone, in a field to the east of the site now recorded as historic landfill. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the landscape character within the site as a mixture of Drained Wetland, Surveyed Enclosure and Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions. The drained wetland includes land formerly part of Hatfield Chase, a medieval hunting park, though there is no legibility of this landscape. The character of Vermuyden’s early 17th-century drainage works survive well in some of the Hatfield Chase area. In the remainder, the predominant character relates to the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure, with some loss of field boundaries. The area of motorway junctions linking the M18 and M180 have no legibility of former landscape types. One further landscape character zone within the buffer comprises the modern Tudworth Quarry. Historic landfill data records one area of infilled ground to the immediate northeast of the site, at Tudworth Hall Farm. The site is divided into five separate areas, bisected by the M180 motorway and slip roads. The fields have mainly been in agricultural use from at least 1853, with a post-medieval farm complex in the eastern area. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1853 map shows the area as large fields or closes, with boundaries formed by narrow lanes and drainage ditches. The main road through the area was the Tudworth Road, shown as a turnpike at that date. Tudworth Farms were shown within the eastern division of the site. By 1892, the fields to the west of Tudworth Road were still extensive, though the land to the west of the road around Tudworth Hall Farm had been enclosed into smaller plots. There were no substantial changes in the first half of the 20th century, but by 1974 the M180 motorway was under construction, cutting across former fields. The Tudworth Hall Farm complex was shown as much more extensive by that date, with semi-detached houses to the south and many more barns. Within the buffer, the pattern in 1853 was of large enclosures. The course of the Old River Don ran through a field at the eastern side of the buffer. Some of the closes within the area to the east of Tudworth Road had been subdivided into smaller fields by 1892. Tudworth Grange was shown just outside the eastern division of the site in 1853 and 1892. Between 1906 and 1932, a building was constructed at the north edge of the buffer, west of Tudworth Road, shown as Oaks Farm in 1962. By 1974, the M180 motorway and junctions were shown crossing the buffer, and Tudworth Grange was no longer labelled, though buildings were still shown on the site. These had been cleared by 1982. Tudworth Quarry was shown on the 1974 map at the south side of the buffer but was not shown in 1982. An oval area of rough vegetation was shown within a field at the east edge of the buffer in 1972, in an area currently recorded as historic landfill. None of the available maps showed any extractive activity within this field. Survival: The extent of disturbance caused by the construction of the motorway and associated landscaping is currently unknown. Where disturbance has been minimal, there is a moderate potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains. A medieval fishery was recorded in the area in the 1086 Domesday Survey, but the location is inexact and the potential for and nature of surviving remains associated with this monument are currently unknown. Buildings were shown at Tudworth Hall Farm in 1854, though the extent of survival of historic buildings within the current farm complex is unknown.

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

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. An assessment of the historic buildings at Tudworth Hall Farm would assist in determining the extent of survival and significance of heritage assets within the site. Significance: Unknown. If any historic buildings survive within the Tudworth Hall Farm complex, these could be considered to be of Local heritage value.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial coverage shows four of the divisions of the site as fields under arable cultivation. The easternmost division comprises pasture and the Tudworth Hall Farm complex, with four semi-detached houses to the south. The 2009 coverage shows cropmarks within the field forming the northwest division of the site, probably associated with infilled drainage ditches. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR lists one record that extends across the site and buffer. This relates to the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, where frequent finds of pottery kilns and associated settlement have been made, including from in the parishes of Cantley, Rossington, Blaxton, Auckley and Doncaster. No events are recorded within the site or buffer. There are no listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments within the site and buffer. 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 agglomerated fields, large units created through the removal of field boundaries in the latter half of the 20th century, with a loss of the character of Parliamentary Enclosure from open fields. Further character zones within the buffer include an area of surviving Parliamentary Enclosure fields, and modern planned social housing, detached houses and a school. The site is currently part of a much larger enclosure and is under cultivation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS identifies the site as part of East Field. Within the buffer, immediately to the west was a gravel pit, which appears to have been disused by 1892. A school is also recorded at the junction of Eastfield Lane and Ellers Lane. The 1946 map showed that the gravel pit had been reopened and extended south, and by 1961 it had expanded east and southeast extending over the entirety of the site and much of the buffer, south of Eastfield Lane. Sand and gravel extraction continued until 1975, by which stage the school had been replaced by Auckley Junior and Infants School and suburban housing had reached Eastfield Lane. The small wood to the south of the site had also been established at this stage. Survival: Due to sand and gravel extraction across the entirety of the site, any archaeological features and deposits are likely to have been removed. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-1015 aerial photographs depict the site as part of a large field, under cultivation. No changes are shown within the field during that period. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth Coverage: 2002; 2003; 2005; 2008; 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, which also extends east into the buffer. This is an extensive cropmark landscape including field boundaries and enclosures of probable Iron Age to Roman date. A further cropmark system is recorded in the northern part of the buffer, where excavations in 2007 recorded two enclosures likely used for stock control. Palaeoenvironmental remains from the ditches indicated that they are likely to have had adjacent hedges and contained standing water. No dating evidence was recovered, but they are likely to be of Iron Age to Roman date. One findspot is recorded within the western part of the buffer, where Roman pottery was found in a field. Three events are recorded within the buffer, one relating to the excavation that recorded the stock enclosures mentioned above. The other two events were undertaken in the eastern part of the buffer in association with the Rossington Inland development, and recorded field boundaries and enclosures forming part of the same system that extends into the site. These appeared to have been established in the later Iron Age and extended during the Roman period, and some again appeared to be associated with stock management. No Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered are within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire aerial mapping project recorded an extensive cropmark landscape of Iron Age to Roman fields and enclosures within the site and extending into the north, east and south parts of the buffer. Possible post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded in the northeast part of the buffer and at the southwest edge. Historic Environment Characterisation recorded the site and much of the buffer as agglomerated fields in an area of former wetland, where loss of field boundaries in the 20th century has led to a reduction in the former character of enclosure probably originating in the 17th-century wetlands drainage project. Other character zones within the buffer include drained wetland with a greater survival of historic enclosure boundaries to the north, further agglomerated fields to the south and east, and part of Loversall Park to the southwest. The most recent aerial imagery (2017) shows the site as three arable fields, with an enclosure at the east end containing two depot-type buildings and a parking area. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as part of six fields, crossed at the eastern end by a wide unnamed lane. The field to the west of the lane was occupied by woodland and named Lockwell Ings Plantation. A small shed was depicted at the southwest corner of the site. The northern edge of the site was bounded by Huxter Well Drain. By 1892, Lockwell Ings Plantation was no longer shown and had become a field incorporating the former trackway, which was also not depicted. A field boundary had been removed in the central field. The 1902 map indicated that the boundary between the former plantation and the field to the east had been removed, and the site comprised four fields at that date. By 19962, the southern boundary of the former plantation field had also been removed, and the site was part of three fields. Between 1974 and 1984, the M16 was constructed along the northern edge of the site. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed fields surrounding the site, with Lockwell Ings shown to the south of the site, Loversall Carr to the north and west. The Edge of parkland associated with Loversall Hall extended into the southwest edge of the buffer, with a possible avenue or ride called 'Long Walk' running northeast from the hall up to the western edge of the site and Long Walk Plantation, which was just to the west of the site. Rakes Lane ran through the southeast part of the buffer, leading off the track that ran through the site. Some field boundaries were removed within the Lockwell Ings area during the 20th century. The M16 was under construction in the northern part of the buffer in 1974.

Survival: The site has been in arable cultivation, which may have caused some truncation to sub-surface deposits; however, archaeological investigation of nearby fields has shown a reasonable degree of preservation of archaeological remains. Given the extensive cropmarks within the site, the potential for encountering archaeological remains is considered to be high. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field systems and enclosures could be considered to be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: Aerial imagery from 2002-2017 showed the site as three fields bounded to the northeast and south by farm lanes, and to the northwest by the M16. The eastern end of the site was occupied by two rectangular buildings, appearing to be modern light industrial or agricultural sheds with a yard between. From 2014, the fields to the east of the buildings (outside the site) were being stripped of topsoil, and by 2017 this area was shown as a series of large ponds. Lidar coverage for the site is patchy, but appears to show only drainage ditches and modern ploughing. Photograph/Lidar references: Google Earth 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015 & 2017.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any features or events within the site or buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a group of 20th century air raid shelters within the buffer zone, to the northeast of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer as Drained Wetland, enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, with no legibility of former common land. The present boundaries within this character area are largely defined by the 19th century drainage layout. To the north and east of the site the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. The enclosure boundaries remained extant at the time of the 1854 OS map, and remained so until 1962, when some of the 19th century field boundaries that were present within the site had been removed, and the site became a single field. The north, east and west site boundaries appear to respect the boundaries depicted on the first edition OS map, but the southern boundary was installed between 1956 and 1962. By 1971, all four boundaries are marked as drains, and the field is labelled as a playing field. By 1975, the drain at the northern site boundary had been removed to facilitate the building of the houses on Ferndale drive. Within the buffer zone, Marshland Road and Bloom Hill Road were extant by 1853, although the majority of the buffer zone was open fields at this time. One of the first buildings was constructed by 1892, immediately to the east of the site, labelled as New Field House, off Marshlands Road. To the northeast of the site, a housing development had been constructed by 1932, with a smaller road of houses to the south-east. A billiards hall and Roman Catholic church had also been constructed in the northern part of the buffer zone by this date. A school had been built to the northeast of the site by 1932, and by 1971 the housing estate to the southwest of the site has been extended into the buffer zone, and construction had begun of the houses on Ferndale drive, on the northern border of the site, which appears complete by 1975. Survival: Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as open scrub/recreational land. There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any features or events within the site or buffer zone. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded 20th- century air raid shelters with the site and the eastern buffer zone. These are no longer extant as above-ground features. The HEC records the present character of the site as the former site of Marshland Girls’ School. The school has been recently demolished. The north-eastern corner of the site is defined as drained wetland. The site was previously part of land enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, although there is no legibility of former common land. To the north and south of the site, the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes. To the east and south-west, the landscape character comprises drained wetland. The site is bounded to the west by Mashland Road, to the north by a c.2008 housing development, to the east by a post-1825 field boundary and the south by a narrow lane, present on the 1854 OS map. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown as part of a field on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. The enclosure boundaries remained extant at the time of the 1853 OS map. By 1892, the eastern site boundary had been established. By 1932, a number of buildings had been constructed on the site, comprising the Marshland Girls’ School. By 1975, it appears that the number and size and buildings on the site was reduced. The school had been demolished by 2002, leaving the site open to scrub wasteland, as it remains today. Within the buffer zone, Marshland Road, which denotes the western site boundary, and the narrow, un-named lane which denotes the southern site boundary, were extant by 1853, although the majority of the buffer zone was open fields at this time. By 1892 many of the open fields within the buffer zone had been reduced in size, with the addition of many new boundaries, particularly to the immediate west of the site. There were very few buildings with the buffer zone until 1932, with the construction of the housing estate to the north-east of the site, and the school, presumably a necessity to serve the occupants of the new estate. A smaller road of houses to the south of the site was also present at this date, as well as billiards hall and Roman Catholic church in the northern part of the buffer zone. By 1948, a larger complex of buildings had been built immediately to the north of the site, labelled on the 1962 map as Moorlands County Primary School (Junior mixed). By 1991 this had been re-named to Thorne Marshland Middle School. By 1971 the small road of houses to the south of the site, first depicted on the 1932 map, had been swallowed up into a large housing estate, with houses also present to the immediate west of the site. A new road, Kingsmead, with houses, was constructed immediately the north of the site (marking the northern boundary) by 2008, with further development to the immediate north. Survival: Due to the ground disturbance caused by the construction of Marshland Girls’ School in the 1930s, the likely survival of any unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be low; however, buried remains of the former air raid shelters may survive on the northern part of the site. There are small patches of the site which did not contain any standing buildings, but any remains present within these areas would be fragmentary and isolated.

Further investigations: Further investigation may be required to establish the extent of survival of the former air raid shelters, if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument and two findspots are recorded within the buffer zone: the site of a medieval boat yard, the findspot of a Bronze Age cinerary urn and the findspot of two flint blades. These are all located to the south of the site. Two events are also located within the buffer zone, both to the southwest of the site. Trial trenching revealed the presence of shorefront structures on the northern bank of the River Don, probably dating to the 13th to 14th centuries. Pottery dating to the Roman and Norman periods suggests that even earlier features may be present on the site, below unexcavated layers of alluvium. On the north side of the site, the evaluation failed to locate any archaeological deposits or features of note, which may be the result of the severe truncation sustained in much of this area as a result of the presence of 19th- to 20th-century gasworks and associated buildings. A watching brief recovered Roman ceramic, late medieval to early post-medieval remains, 18th century ceramics, a post-medieval ditch, and 18th to 19th century burials, although it should be noted that most of the watching brief area was beyond the western limit of the buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. One listed building exists within the buffer zone, the grade II listed lock at Strawberry Lock, to the northeast of the site. Two areas of historic landfill are recorded within the buffer zone; Gas House Bight to the immediate north of the site; and Land to the Rear of Railway Engineer’s Department to the northwest of the site. No further information is given for these records. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site itself. An area of post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks is recorded at the western extreme of the buffer zone, in an area since developed. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a mixture of various industrial sites, now mostly regenerated scrubland following the demolition of the majority of the structures. None of the character types within the site retain any legibility of the former meadows and fields of the valley floor of the River Don. The buffer zone contains numerous character types, which relate to a variety of housing, industry and infrastructure. The site comprises two irregular parcels of land. To the north is scrub wasteland with moderately heavy tree cover. To the south is a plot occupied by a single building surrounded by scrubland. The River Don is located to the north of the site, with heavy commercial and residential development to the south, east and west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1851 the River Don meandered through the site, with a landing harbour marked on its northern side, at the northern end of the site, named Ladies Harbour. By 1894 a sewage pumping station had been constructed at the location of the current Whittington Street, which by 1930 had extended in the southern area of the site. By 1930 a new cut of the Don had been created at the northern end of the site and a Toffee Works had been established at the north of the site between what is now Parkinson Street and Wharf Road. By 1937, more work had been undertaken to alter the course of the Don, and by this time it had been altered to its present-day course. A small railway line, named the Wheatley Park Branch, had been created on an approximate east-west alignment along the current northern boundary of the site. The railway crossed the Don over a bridge, which is still present today, and joined the London and North Eastern Railway line to the west of the site. By 1980 the roads currently around the site had been established, including Whittington Street, Parkinson Street and Wharf Road. By 1992 the toffee factory in the northern area of the site had been demolished. Within the buffer zone, in 1851, the area surrounding the site was mostly undeveloped meadows on the floodplain of the River Don. To the east of the site was a tobacco pipe manufacturers and a small amount of housing. To the northwest was Strawberry Island, and a gasworks was located to the south of the site. The Great Northern Railway line ran to the north of the River Don. By 1894, the gasworks had expanded northwards, up to

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

the southern boundary of the site, and significant development had occurred to the immediate south of the site, with terraced housing and a school. The pipe factory had been demolished by his time. By 1904, this housing development had spread to the east, immediately outside the site boundary, with more terraced housing, a school and allotment gardens. By 1930, the River Don had begun to be realigned, which was complete by 1937. Most of the original course had been removed, although a small section still remained by the Gasworks, named Gashouse Bight. A spinning mill, wallpaper factory and toffee factory had been established to the north of the site. By 1960, a small addition had been made to the Wheatley Park Branch Railway, which extended down to the Gasworks at the southern end of the site. A pig market was present to the southwest of the site, and by 1969 the entire western end of the buffer zone had been developed with warehouses, factories, an abattoir and cattle hall. Another large gasholder had been constructed to the north of the existing ones and the Wheatley Park Branch railway had been removed by this time. By 1980 the A630 road had been constructed to the south of the site. The main structure of the gasworks had been demolished by this time, although two round gasholders remained; the southernmost gasholders had been replaced by long, thin rectangular buildings. Little significant change was evident within the buffer zone on the 1992 map. Survival: A toffee works was constructed in the northern area of the site and a sewage works in the southern area of the site by 1930. The toffee works had been demolished by 1992, and the sewage works remained on the site until the 21st century, with the settling tanks removed by 2009. One building remains standing in the southern area of the site, which was originally part of the sewage works. No development is evident on the site since the removal of these buildings and structures, and the potential for the below-ground survival of remains relating to the toffee works and sewage works is considered to be good, although of little significance due to their 20th century date. Previous archaeological investigation at the south-western end of the buffer zone indicates that deeply buried Roman and later remains may be present on the site, particularly along the original course of the Don. However, the investigations also indicated that such remains had been significantly truncated by 19th-century industrial buildings. The potential for survival of buried archaeology pre-dating the 20th century is currently unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is allocated for development, to assess the extent of survival of deeply buried remains. Significance: Unknown. Note: Site 428 is located within larger Site 438.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty first century aerial photographs show the site as unchanged from the 1992 map, with the northern area of the site standing empty following the demolition of the toffee factory, and the southern area of the site containing a single building and settling tanks of the sewage works. By 2009 the settling tanks had been removed. The northern area of the site currently stands empty as scrubland with moderate tree cover. The southern area of the site currently houses a single building relating to the disused sewage works, although comprises mostly wasteland. Lidar imagery for the site is largely obscured by recent industrial development in the area. As such, no heritage assets pre-dating the 19th century can be identified within the site or the buffer zone. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 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 recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Air raid shelters were plotted at the northwest edge of the buffer from a 1948 photograph. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northeast part of the buffer as Rossington Tornedale School, built in the mid-20th century on former agricultural land that may have been part of a deer park in the medieval period, based on cartographic and field-name evidence. It is possible that Gattison Lane marks part of the former park boundary, which may have been associated with the Draw Dikes manor. Further character zones within the buffer comprise another school to the northwest and a sports ground to the north, with the remainder of the buffer composed of planned social housing estates in New Rossington, developed from the early 20th century onwards as a colliery village associated with Rossington Main Colliery. The site is currently a playing field adjacent to a school, with an existing access lane to the south of Gattison House, leading onto Gattison Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an area of narrow strip fields with curving boundaries suggestive of enclosure from open field. The area was called Park Field. By 1962, the current north, west and south boundaries of the site were established. The 1976 map showed the site as part of playing fields associated with the school to the east. The access lane to Gattison Road was first shown on the 1989 map, prior to which this area was part of the playing field. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted Gattison Gate (now Lane) to the southeast of the site, Grange Lane bridle road to the northwest and West End Lane to the north. The Great Northern Railway line ran through the northeast part of the buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, with a station to the east of the line. The historic core of Rossington was located to the northeast of the railway, just outside the northeast edge of the buffer. The remainder of the buffer was strip fields. By 1930, the colliery village of New Rossington was depicted to the west of the site, with schools shown at the northwest edge of the buffer and sports grounds and miner's welfare hall to the north. By 1948, housing was under construction to the immediate north of the site. Tornedale Primary School was shown to the east of the site in 1962, and a further school had been built to the north by 1976. An electrical engineering works was shown at the north edge of the buffer at that date. Gattison House was shown to the east of the site by 1989. Survival: The site has been in use as a school playing field since at least the 1970s, and was previously a field. There does not appear to have been much landscaping of the site to make the playing field, therefore the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. No monuments have been recorded within the buffer, but Romano-British field system remains have been excavated a short distance to the southeast of the buffer, and there is the potential for similar remains to extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site as a school playing field, with well-maintained grass coverage. Housing surrounds the north, west and south sides, with schools to the east and northeast and Gattison House to the east of the south end of the site. An access lane to Gattison Road is shown to the south of Gattison House. By 2012, the site was separated from the school grounds by a new boundary and it is unclear if remains in use as a playing field. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument and two events within the site. The monument is part an area where frequent remains of pottery kilns associated with Doncaster’s Roman pottery production industry have been found. Both events related to works undertaken in association with the construction of a water pipeline, including a geophysical survey and monitoring, which did not reveal any features of clear archaeological origin within the site. These events and the pottery area extend into the buffer zone, where one further monument is recorded, the suggested route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster. 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 evidence of a linear ditch of uncertain date in the northern area of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation identifies that the site lies within an area of agglomerated fields created through the progressive removal of field boundaries. The M18 motorway has further disturbed the field boundaries making legibility of the former landscape invisible. These fields continue into the north and east of the buffer. In the north of the buffer is McAuley School. The south and west areas of the buffer are identified as modern private housing estates. Roman pottery kilns were excavated here in the early 1950s ahead of construction of the housing estate and form and important regional group. A post-medieval plantation lies in the southeast corner of the buffer. The site is currently a field defined on the east and west sides by hedged boundaries. It is in arable cultivation. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map showed the site as part of two fields, with no changes until 1978 when the northern boundary had been established by the construction of a playing field to the immediate north, and the site was shown as a single field. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows a National school to the north of the site, but none of the present day buildings are depicted. A park associated with Cantley Hall extended into the northwest edge of the buffer, and plantations to the east and south of the site, one including a folly, suggests that the site was associated with the wider Cantley Hall estate. By 1948, Handley Cross Farm had been built to the west of the site and the 1955 OS map shows that Black Carr plantation in the south had been extended northwards. By 1978 McCauley school had been built on the site of Handley Cross Farm. Between 1978 and 1982, the area to the west of the site was developed as a private housing estate. The M18 motorway was also shown at this date. Survival: The site has been fields from at least 1854. Ploughing may have truncated sub-surface archaeological features but deep ground disturbance within the site is limited. The potential for buried archaeological remains below the level impacted by ploughing is therefore considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman pottery production and associated activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Note: Site 430 forms part of the larger Site 164.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as a field in arable cultivation with hedgerow borders. No cropmark features were noted within the site. Lidar data shows the field surface as very smooth, with only one slight earthwork running west to east across the southern part of the site. It is not shown on any historic maps and is of unclear origin. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008 & 2009. SE6201/1 DNR 872/3-3A 03-Jul-1976.

The excavations confirmed the presence of ditches and trackways forming field system identified as cropmarks, as well as identifying features not visible on aerial photographs. Despite an almost complete absence of artefactual and environmental evidence from the features, excavations have provided an insight into the use and re-use of Iron Age and Romano-British field system in the region.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Three monuments and one findspot are recorded within the buffer zone, comprising an Iron Age to Roman drove road recorded as a cropmark, a mound of unknown function (no longer extant), a post-medieval Manor House (grade II listed), and a find spot of Roman pottery sherds. Two events are recorded at the very edge of the buffer zone. These investigations identified former field boundaries and ridge and furrow earthworks. A number of probable pits and ditches were also recorded, although could not be dated. There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. Two grade II listed buildings are located within the buffer zone, the manor house noted above and a milepost, located to the north of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records extensive Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and a possible drove way within the site, which form a cohesive pattern of brickwork-pattern field systems. These are recorded across the site and extend into the buffer and beyond, forming part of a wider landscape of such features. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern and eastern buffer zone as agglomerated fields, where boundary loss between 1967 and 1982 has led to only fragmentary legibility of the former straight edged enclosures, possibly relating to the private enclosure of estate land around Streetthorpe Manor after 1775. Within the remainder of the buffer zone, the majority of the area comprises modern housing. The site currently comprises a number of fields, which appear to be used as arable land. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as a number of fields with hedge/tree boundaries. The basic shape of the site is recognisable, with most of the external boundaries distinguishable, with the exception of the north-western corner, which had been created by 1992. A small collection of buildings was present at the very western end of the site, possibly outbuildings to Manor Farm, with one labelled ‘gasometer’ in 1892. A pump was located just to the north of these buildings. A small plantation, named Ash Plantation, was shown at the eastern end of the site and an Old Gravel Pit marked at the north end. By 1892 two tracks/footpaths are marked on an approximate east-west alignment across the site. By 1967, the buildings at the western side of the site are marked as Manor Farm. By 1981 Manor Farm had reduced in size, with just a single building remaining. By 1992, a small area to the south of this building was marked as a playground, with a playing field and caravan site to the north. All the internal field boundaries within the site had been removed by that date. Within the buffer zone, the majority of the area comprised fields, with little development. To the east of the site was Long Plantation, and to the immediate west Manor House (1606) was marked, immediately outside the site boundary. To the northwest was Streetthorpe Hall, which by 1892 had changed its name to Edenthorpe Hall. Immediately outside of the northern site boundary were Streetthorpe Cottages, which like the hall, had changed their name to Edenthorpe by 1892. Hatfield Lane to the east, and Thorne Road to the north, were both extant by 1854. By 1930, Edenthorpe Hall appears to have been split into two detached properties, one still called Edenthorpe Hall, the other Edenthorpe House. By 1938, development had occurred to the west of the site, with the construction of Back Lane and Cedric Road, with associated housing. New housing was also present along Thorne Road to the north. By 1961 Edenthorpe Hall had become Edenthorpe County Primary School. Edenthorpe House was still marked, whilst the Manor House was not. By 1967, the new housing estate to the west was heavily developed, with a school and numerous new roads and houses. Edenthorpe House was no longer shown. By 1891 the A630 had been built to the south of the site, with improvement also to Hatfield Lane with the addition of a roundabout. By 1992 a new housing development was present to the north of the site, off Thorne Road.

Survival: Historic maps demonstrate that no development has occurred on the site since 1854, with the exception of the Manor Farm complex at the very western edge of the site. Arable cultivation may have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits, but below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is moderate to high. Extensive remains of an Iron Age to Roman field system and drove way are recorded as cropmarks within the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation will be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: The Iron Age to Roman remains recorded across the site are part of a wider landscape of such features, and could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their nature, extent and condition. Remains associated with the Manor Farm complex at the western end of the site are considered to be of Local significance; this included a small gasometer which may have provided a supply to the Manor House. Note: Site 431 forms part of larger site 241.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 show the site to be unchanged from the 1992 OS map. The site comprises a number of fields which are in agricultural use, with a small parcel of lane at the western end of the site containing a football pitch and basketball court, with a playing field to the north. Lidar data for the site does not show any features of clear archaeological significance on the site. The recorded Iron Age to Roman field boundaries on the site are not identifiable within the Lidar data. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Playing Fields, formerly attached to Wheatley Hills School. There is no legibility of the former fields enclosed by parliamentary award from Wheatley Common. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Golf Course, Ancient Woodland, Public Park, Planned Estate (Social Housing) and Business Park. Historic landfill data records a former tip in the northwest part of the buffer, recorded as Leger Way/Thorne Road, with the only information being that it was used for inert commercial waste. The site currently comprises a field and an area of gardens to the north of Wheatley Golf Course. It is bounded to the north by the Shaw Wood Way business park and to the west by Leger Way. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. A footpath was shown crossing the site from Hags Wood to Hills Lane on the 1892 map. Two small detached buildings stood in the southwest part of the site in 1906, with a third added by 1930. Their function is unknown. Only one of these buildings remained in 1937. A detached building had been constructed to the east by that date. Wheatley Hills Secondary School had been built in the southwest part of the site by 1961. Embankments marked around the school indicate that the land had been landscaped in association with the school’s construction. No changes were shown within the site on the 1983 OS map. Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Sandall Field Brick and Tile Yard, a sand pit, Thorne Road, Shaw Lane, Hills Lane, Sandhole Plantation and Long Plantation. A sewage reservoir was marked in the western part of the buffer on the 1894 map. The brick and tile works were disused by 1937. The 19th-century sand pit was marked ‘old quarry’ on the 1956 OS map. Housing, a boating lake, a nursery and several works buildings were shown in 1982, with further housing and a miniature golf course by 1993. Survival: The site was fields between 1854 and 1956 and had been redeveloped as a school and its playing field by 1961. Landscaping works associated with this development may, depending on the depths of the groundworks, have impacted on any buried archaeological remains. Lidar data suggests that landscaping of the site included the raising of ground levels on the northern side of the playing field and school site, which may have sealed any archaeological remains in this area. The potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is currently unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Note: site 432 covers the same area as site 391.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: A 2002 aerial photograph shows that Wheatley Hills Secondary School had been demolished by that date. Concrete and tarmac roads, tennis courts and former floor surfaces are visible at the former school site, with the former playing field to the east. No changes are visible within the site on aerial photographs taken up to 2015. Lidar data shows raised ground across at least the northern side of the playing fields and former school site.

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 recorded within the site. One grade II listed milepost is recorded within the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded within the buffer to the northeast and west of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of the site of a brick works and large clay pit shown in 1891 and disused in 1907. The pits were infilled and buildings cleared by 1966. This zone extends into the buffer to the northeast, but historic mapping shows that the brick works was entirely within the buffer and the site was not part of it. Further character zones within the buffer include 1930s terraced housing in the immediate vicinity of the site and to the southeast, with modern metal trades and auto salvage industries to the east, surveyed enclosure on the former Adwick Common to the west, where 20th-century boundary loss has eroded the pattern of the 1790s Parliamentary Enclosure fields, and drained wetland enclosed from Bentley and Adwick Moor to the north. The site is currently two fields separated by housing along Marton Road, with the western boundary formed by Adwick Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map shows the site as part of a single field at Bentley Moor, with the southern and western boundaries formed by Adwick Lane and the northern and eastern boundaries by hedgerows. The site was unchanged in 1906, though the hedged boundaries were no longer shown. By 1930, Marton Road and Alnthorpe Road had been laid out in the centre of the field, with the northern part of the site shown as three small enclosures with a building near the northeast end. The southern part of the site was vacant land open to the road at that date. In 1961, the northern part of the site was one field with no buildings in it, and the southern part was unchanged. No changes were shown on the 1980 map. Within the buffer, the site is surrounded by fields mainly characteristic of parliamentary enclosure from commons, though some fields to the south of Adwick Lane have more curving boundaries. Moor Lane turnpike road runs through the eastern half of the buffer, with Bentley Moor Wood shown in the northern side. The 1892 map shows a brick yard and kilns in the field to the immediate northeast of the site, with the kilns near the Adwick Lane frontage on the south side and clay pits to the north. This was shown as 'Old Brick Yard' by 1906, the clay pit having expanded to cover most of the field apart from the southeast corner by that date. The brickworks buildings had been cleared by 1930, when houses and allotment gardens were shown to the south of Adwick Lane, and more development. In 1948, Bentley Moor Wood was still labelled, but no trees were shown within it, and it was shown as scrubland in 1955. The clay pit had been infilled by 1961. The buildings north of Alnthorpe Road had been demolished by 1980, and a works was shown to the south of Adwick Lane at its junction with Moor Lane. Survival: The site has been fields since at least the mid-19th century, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the area is considered to be moderate. There is no cartographic evidence for the extension of the 19th-century brickworks into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs shown the site as two fields, the northern field being rough grass with hedged boundaries. The southern field is part of a larger field, and is more regularly maintained grassland, with a football pitch marked out in the buffer to the northeast of the site. There is housing on Marton Road between the two fields. The Lidar data shows the field to the immediate northeast of the site as very smooth, indicating that it was landscaped after the clay pit was infilled and the brickworks demolished. There is a clear earthwork boundary between it and the fields forming the site, on the line of a field boundary shown on the 1851 map. Within the site, the surface of the northern field is uneven, including a possible circular hollow at the northeast corner, and a slightly raised rectangular feature in the centre that could be a the remains of a building, though no map evidence for this has been noted. The southern field has no clear earthwork features other than its northeast boundary and slight banking around the other edges of the field.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site boundary. Within the buffer zone, one monument is recorded immediately to the north of the site, the suggested route of a Roman road aligned approximately southwest to northeast, ran from Brough () towards the Roman fort at Templeborough and then onwards to Doncaster. Sheffield Road follows the suggested course of the Roman road. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. In the buffer zone, levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded to the south, north and west of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site and part of north- eastern buffer zone as a modern industrial area, comprising mostly late 20th-century industrial buildings across an area occupied from at least 1851 by orchards and gardens. There is partial legibility of earlier boundary features and possibly fragments of the late 19th-century Holywell Brewery. Further character zones within the buffer zone include a variety of housing to the north, with partial legibility of earlier road patterns and historic features. To the south is an area of enclosed land of medium sized fields in a semi-regular pattern which is hard to categorise. Other character types within the buffer zone include parkland, sports grounds, industrial complexes and landfill sites, which contain little and fragmentary legibility of former landscape types. There is one area of historic landfill within the buffer zone to the immediate southwest of the site, Kearsley Lane. The site currently comprises a single plot of land with concrete hard standing and several industrial-type buildings. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 map, the site is shown as part of a field. Little change occurred on the site until 1956, by which time a building had been constructed on the site, which by 1962 was labelled garage. By 1976 several ancillary buildings had been constructed around the garage at the south-western end of the site, labelled Council Depot. The site remained unchanged on the 1994 map. Within the buffer zone, much of the area to the south comprised fields in 1854, labelled Medley Field, although within the northeast end of the buffer, some development was evident along Sheffield Road and Holywell Lane. Two limestone quarries and a spring were located to the immediate north of the site, on the opposite side of Sheffield Road. By 1892, several buildings had been constructed to the northwest of the site off Sheffield Road, labelled Lime Grove. By 1902, the spring in the quarry immediately to the north of the site was labelled as a holy well, and a football field had been constructed to the immediate north of it. Allotment gardens had been established to the southwest of the site. By 1904 a cricket ground was present to the east of the site, with tennis courts and a bowling green added by 1930. The field immediately to the east of the site was a recreation ground by 1930, and allotment gardens were present to the south of it. By 1962 a small works had been established in the area of the holy well. By 1967, the area to the north of Sheffield Road was heavily developed with housing. Much of the eastern and southern areas of the buffer remains undeveloped. Survival: The site remained undeveloped until the mid-20th century; by 1956 a garage stood on the site, which is now a council depot. The construction of these buildings is likely to have caused some ground disturbance, but the nature of the buildings suggests this is likely to be relatively low. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains on the site is currently unknown.

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Note: this site forms part of larger site 087.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photography shows an area of concrete hard standing in the south, which appears to be used as a yard, with several small industrial type buildings. No Lidar data is available for the site, although there is some which covers the north-western end of the buffer. No features of archaeological interest were identified within the available Lidar data. Photograph references: Google Earth Images 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2015. Lidar data file SK5198.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records three monuments and two events within the site. One of the monuments and both events relate to the Roman Ridge Roman road, which runs along the northern boundary of the site, currently used as a bridleway. The road was part of the major military route from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster, and surviving earthworks and part of the road surface have been recorded along this stretch, which is also a Scheduled Monument. The other monuments comprise a probable settlement enclosure and field boundaries of Iron Age to Roman date recorded as cropmarks within the site, and the location of the deserted medieval village of Scawsby, which extends into the southern part of the site. All of these monuments and events also extend into the buffer zone. A further three findspots, five monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. One of the monuments is a further record of the Roman road, relating to its supposed route; the others comprise two areas of Iron Age to Roman enclosures recorded as cropmarks to the north and west of the site, and the former locations of a medieval wayside cross, and supposed location of a medieval oratory, both to the immediate south of the site. Findspots comprise two Roman coins, both from the same field and apparently identical, so potentially recorded twice, and abraded pottery found in ploughsoil during an evaluation at Emley Drive, to the south of the site. The evaluation recorded no other features or artefacts of archaeological interest, as was also the case during a watching brief at Scawsby Hall. There is one Scheduled Monument within the site and buffer, the surviving remains of the Roman Ridge Roman road along the northern boundary of the site. A narrow part of the Scheduled Area enters the northern edge of the site. There are no listed buildings within the site, but three grade II listed structures within the buffer: Tudor Cottage immediately south of the site; Scawsby Hall to the south of Barnsley Road opposite the site; and a milepost on Barnsley Road opposite the southeast corner of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a probable Iron Age to Roman settlement enclosure along a trackway within the north central part of the site, and fragmentary associated field boundaries. Similar remains are recorded within the buffer to the north and east. Also within the site are banks of possible post-medieval date at the southwest corner, possibly forming an enclosure around former structures on the street frontage. Earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded to the north of this enclosure in the 1970s. Further ridge and furrow was recorded to the south of Barnsley Road, in in the eastern part of the buffer, the latter since built on. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and most of the buffer as agglomerated fields, with no legibility of probable piecemeal enclosure from former open fields. Further character zones within the buffer are agglomerated fields with partial legibility of Parliamentary Enclosure from commons to the north, the site of Scawsby deserted medieval village around Scawsby Hall to the south of the site, a mixture of semi-detached, detached and social housing estates, a school and a college. The site currently comprises three fields, the two larger fields to the north being in arable cultivation, and the smaller area along the southern edge being grassed. This southern area contains earthwork remains associated with a deserted medieval village. Field boundaries within the site are irregular in shape. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as six fairly large fields with slightly sinuous boundaries. The southernmost field is mainly unaltered to the present. A small pond and possible leat were shown in this field. A small limestone quarry was shown at the western side of the site, adjacent to Scawsby Lane, which was wider at that date. The quarry was disused by 1892. The 1906 map showed the pond, with a pump labelled adjacent to it; the leat was not shown at that date. Between 1956 and 1961, most of the internal field boundaries were removed, leaving on

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

the east-west boundaries, to create three large fields. This layout remained unchanged in 1982, with the pond still shown. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the Roman Road along the northeast boundary of the site, Scawsby Lane to the west, and Barnsley Road (the Doncaster and Saltersbrook Trust turnpike) to the south. Settlement at Scawsby, to the south of the site, comprised Scawsby Hall and Farm, a house opposite that is probably Tudor Cottage, and a couple of other buildings. A stone cross was labelled within the field west of Tudor Cottage, close to the road. This was shown as 'site of' the cross in 1892. Tudor Cottage was shown as two semi-detached houses at that date. A few more houses were shown at Scawsby by 1906, and scattered individual buildings were shown around the edges of the buffer by 1930, with more extensive development underway to the southeast by 1948. Housing was also built to the northwest by 1955. By 1971, a school and college had been built to the south of Barnsley Road, with a further school and new housing built to the east by 1982. Survival: Earthwork remains associated with the deserted medieval village of Scawsby survive in the southern field. This area has not been cultivated in recent years, and the earthworks suggest that below-ground preservation of remains is likely to be high. Within the northern two fields, modern cultivation is likely to have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits, but the potential for survival of buried archaeology below the plough zone is likely to be moderate to high. Cropmark remains of a probable Iron Age settlement enclosure, trackway and field boundaries are recorded within this area, and associated remains are likely to continue across the site. The Scheduled Monument area associated with the Roman Ridge road runs along the northern edge of the site, and associated remains may extend into the site. Further investigations: The presence of the deserted medieval village earthworks at the southern side of the site indicates that there are major archaeological issues associated with this site. The setting of the Scheduled Monument and grade II listed Tudor Cottage and Scawsby Hall should also be taken into account. Further consideration needs to be made regarding the capacity of the site for housing development. Significance: The medieval earthworks within the southern side of the site are considered to be of Regional archaeological significance, whilst the Scheduled Monument along the northern boundary of the site is of National significance. Buried remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agriculture could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as three fields. The east-west boundaries preserve the irregular line of the former fields along their route, though the north-south boundaries were all removed in the later 20th century. The two northern fields are in arable cultivation, whilst the southern field is grassed. This field contains earthwork remains that are likely related to the deserted medieval village of Scawsby, including ridge and furrow remains at the western side, and uneven ground along the eastern and southern edges. These features show clearly in the Lidar data. The pond shown on the historic mapping within this field is no longer visible on the aerial photographs, though it is shown on the Lidar as a hollow. The grade II listed Tudor Cottage is located within this field, outside the site boundary. A barn stands in the western side of the southern field, within the site. Conditions were not suitable for the formation of cropmarks in any of the photographs taken, and no clear earthwork features are visible in either of the two northern fields on the Lidar data.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two events covering the southern part of the site and extending into the buffer. Trial trenching revealed the presence of shorefront structures on the bank of the River Don, probably dating to the 13th to 14th centuries, with pottery dating to the Roman and immediate post-conquest periods suggesting that even earlier features may be present, below unexcavated layers of alluvium. Within the site, the evaluation failed to locate any archaeological deposits or features of note, which may be the result of the severe truncation sustained in much of this area as a result of the presence of 19th and 20th century gasworks and associated buildings. At the very south-western extreme of the site, a watching brief recovered Roman ceramics, late medieval to early post- medieval remains, 18th century ceramics, a post-medieval ditch, and 18th to 19th century burials, although it should be noted that the vast majority of the watching brief took place outside of the site boundary. There are 30 SMR records within the buffer zone. These are mainly located to the southwest of the site. Records include prehistoric to industrial remains, comprising a Bronze Age cinerary urn, flint tools, the site of Danum Roman Fort, Roman coins, Anglo Saxon pottery, a medieval boat yard, and post-medieval to modern industrial mills and factories. There are 22 events recorded within the buffer zone, again all located to the southwest of the site. These recorded evidence of activity in the area from at least the Bronze Age, with sustained activity in the Roman period, medieval and post-medieval periods. Much of the activity is focused around the course of the River Don. There is one Scheduled Monument within the southwest end of the buffer zone, the wall of the Roman Fort of Danum. Eight listed buildings are also within the buffer zone, mainly to the southwest of the site. These include the Grade I listed Minster Church of St George, and seven grade II listed buildings. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the site, Gas House Bight. A further area within the buffer zone to the immediate north of the site is recorded as ‘Land to the Rear of Railway Engineer’s Department’. No further information is given for these records. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site itself. Within the buffer zone, an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks was recorded to the immediate west of the site, in an area since developed. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a mixture of various current industrial sites, and isolated pockets of regenerated scrubland located on the sites of former industrial sites that were removed in the 20th century. None of the character types within the site retain any legibility of the former meadows and fields of the valley floor of the River Don. The buffer zone also contains numerous character types, which relate to a variety of housing, industry and infrastructure. The majority of the site is currently wasteland. A few isolated small-scale structures exist on the site, mostly at the northern end, off Wharf Road. At the south-western corner of the site is an open-air car park. The River Don is located to the immediate north of the site, with heavy commercial and residential development to the south, east and west. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: In 1851 the River Don meandered through the site, with a landing harbour marked at the northern end of the site, named Ladies Harbour. A gas works located at the southern end of the site had expanded considerably to the east by 1894, with the construction of two large round gasholders. Also by this time, a sewage pumping station had been constructed approximately at the centre of the site, at the location of the current Whittington Street. Allotment gardens had been laid out to the west of the site by 1904. By 1930, a new cut of the Don had been created at the northern end of the site and the sewage works had expanded to the west across the location of the former river course. A Toffee Works had been established at the north of the site between what is now Parkinson Street and Wharf Road, and a spinning mill had been established a little further to the north. By 1937, more work had been undertaken to alter the course of the Don to its present-day course. Most of the original

www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 11 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment

course had been removed, although a small section still remained by the Gasworks, named Gashouse Bight. A small railway line, named the Wheatley Park Branch, had been created on an approximate east-west alignment though the northern end of the site, on the same course as the present day Wharf Road. The railway crossed the Don over a bridge, which is still present today, and joined the London and North Eastern Railway line to the west of the site. By 1960 the allotment gardens at the north-western end of the site had largely been removed. By 1960 a sheep market and Farmer’s Club had been established at the southern end of the site and allotment gardens had been created to the north of the site. Also by this time, a small addition had been made to the Wheatley Park Branch Railway, which extended down to the Gasworks at the southern end of the site. By 1969 another large gasholder had been constructed to the north of the existing ones. The Wheatley Park Branch railway had been removed by this time. By 1980 the A630 road had been constructed, forming the southern site boundary. The roads currently around and within the site had been established, including Whittington Street, Parkinson Street and Wharf Road. The main structure of the gasworks had been demolished by this time, although two round gasholders remained; the southernmost gasholders had been replaced by long, thin rectangular buildings. The toffee works had been demolished by 1992. Within the buffer zone, in 1851, the core of Doncaster town centre extended into the south-western end of the buffer zone. To the east of the site was a tobacco pipe manufacturers and a small amount of housing. The areas to the north and west of the site were mostly meadows on the River Don floodplain. To the north of the River Don, the Great Northern Railway line was present. By 1894, significant development had occurred to the immediate south of the site, with terraced housing and a school. The pipe factory had been demolished by his time. By 1904, this housing development had spread to the east, immediately outside the site boundary, with more terraced housing, a school and allotment gardens. By 1930, the River Don had been realigned and a spinning mill, wallpaper factory and toffee factory had been established to the north of the site. By 1960, a pig market was present to the immediate southwest of the site, and by 1969 the entire western end of the buffer zone had been developed with warehouses, factories, an abattoir and cattle hall. Little significant change was evident within the buffer zone on the 1992 map. Survival: Many 19th century industrial buildings have been present on the site, most of which have since been demolished. The most notable of these is the gasworks at the south-western corner of the site, which was already established on the 1851 map. This has since been demolished, although the land has remained undeveloped since and the footprint of some of the gasholders is still evident on recent aerial photographs. As such, the potential for the survival of below-ground remains related to the gasworks is considered to be moderate to good. Further remains related to later 19th and early 20th century structures, such as the toffee factory and sewage pumping works, are considered to be moderate to high, those these are of low significance. Previous archaeological investigation to the immediate southwest of the site indicates that there is the potential for deeply buried Roman and later remains within the site, particularly along the original course of the Don. However, the investigations also indicated that such remains within the southern part of the site may have been truncated by 19th century gasworks infrastructure. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains pre-dating the 19th century is currently unknown. Further investigations: It is likely that further archaeological investigation will be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Note: Site 438 contains Site 428.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 21st-century aerial photographs show that by 2002 the remaining structures of the gasworks had been demolished, although the footprint of at least four gasholders are still clearly apparent. Most of the other buildings on the site had also been cleared by this time, with the exception of a handful of small isolated buildings. Much of the site appeared to be scrub wasteland with a car park and possibly a scrap yard at this date.

By 2008 the short alignment of the River Don, previously named Gasworks Bight, had been shortened and a rectangular tank added to it. Lidar imagery for the site shows only the extant building footprints and infrastructure, with no visible remains pre-dating the 19th century within the site or the buffer zone.

The trenches off Low Fisher Gate revealed a series of Medieval structures including walls and a possible wharf. The other area was of less archaeological interest, containing only some pits and ditches. This is an interim report, aimed at providing an account of the results of the evaluation, together with proposals for further archaeological work within selected areas.

ESY487 Observation During A stone-lined pit, a well or cess pit, was noted by A B Sumpter Y Construction of during observation of the construction of Church Way, Church Way Doncaster, in 1971. ESY743 High Fisher Gate, An archaeological excavation was undertaken on the site of a Y Doncaster, South former supermarket at High Fisher Gate, Doncaster. Ditches Yorkshire relating to the Roman fort defences, along with medieval wells and pits were recorded. Finds included Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery, Roman coins dating to mid 4th century AD, ceramic building materials and a glass bead. A large, putative Saxon ditch projected to run through the site was determined to be of likely Roman date. ESY842 Excavations at The open-area excavation and subsequent analyses have Y Church Walk (a.k.a. identified flour main phases of activity representing nearly two Askews Print Shop) millennia of occupation, from early Roman occupation through to the post-medieval or early modern periods. The archaeological remains included features associated with phases of the Roman fort, medieval tanning pits, crop - processing structures and domestic occupation, and also post - medieval tanning or tawing pits. Two large ditches of uncertain date and function were also recorded, relating to either phases of the Roman fort(s), or early medieval/medieval boundaries. Despite a high degree of disturbance, residuality and intrusion, the excavation results have provided important evidence of the chronological development of this key historical centre of Doncaster. The relatively large pottery assemblage recoveved from Church Walk is of great local and regional significance. ESY843 Archaeological An archaeological evaluation at Doncaster Collage revealed Y Evaluation at evidence of Roman activity with the recovery of Roman Doncaster College, pottery and ceramic building material, although no associated Church View, features were identified. Discard of refuse from the fort Doncaster, South situated immediately to the south is a likely source for this Yorkshire material. Definitive evidence for occupation was not encountered until the late 13th to late 14th century, when a building with an internal mortar floor and external cobbled surface was constructed. By the post-medieval period, the area was in use as an orchard/garden before culverts were built as part of the re-routing of the River Cheswold by 1909. ESY852 Archaeological In March 1998 ARCUS was commissioned by Yorkshire Water Y Watching Brief at to undertake a watching brief on the excavation of a pipe High Fisher Gate, trench across High Fishergate, Doncaster. The trench was Doncaster, South located on the edge of the Market Place, and given the former Yorkshire use of the area as the graveyard for St. Mary's church, there was the possibility of encountering human remains and home Office licence was obtained. However, the trench was excavated in previously disturbed ground and nothing of archaeological interest or significance was encountered.

Doncaster laid out with arms across the pelvis. The burials also appeared to be set in rows, and the density of inhumations was quite high. In addition to the cemetery the excavation revealed a sequence of post-medieval activity on site including three buildings: a large tenement structure, a possible workshop associated with the linen trade, and an unidentified workshop or outbuilding. All of these structures were erected in the mid 18th century and demolished prior to the construction of the market buildings. ESY858 Excavations at Low The excavations at Low Fisher Gate, Doncaster, South Y Fisher Gate, Yorkshire, produced a sequence of urban deposits dating from Doncaster, South the late 11/12th to the 18th century. These included riverside Yorkshire structures of early 13th century date, made in part from reused boat timbers, together with a series of superimposed phases of tenement building of 13th to 16th century date and some post-medieval features. The site seems to have had mixed domestic and industrial functions throughout its history.

On the 'town side' of the river the evaluation failed to locate any archaeological deposits or features of note.

ESY1034 Northbridge Relief Bore holes drilled for palaeoenvironmental sampling Y Road Pollen Coring ESY1041 North of Clergy A lime kiln was discovered in the centre of the excavation area, Y Bridge House 1978 of a roughly circular shape, 2.8m in diameter at its base, and 1.3m deep. The kiln was unlined but the sides had been fired red. It has been suggested, due to its location, that it may be associated with a phase of building work at St George's Church, and was perhaps used for burning stone robbed from the Roman fort wall. Other medieval and post-medieval features included small pits and post holes. ESY1043 Church Street Redeposited dumps of early Roman material were recorded, Y 1967-75 and underlying features had been truncated by the terracing of the area during the construction of Doncaster College. Medieval and post-medieval buildings and features were recorded. These included a wood-lined pit, which may have been used as part of the tanning process. ESY1045 East of St George's This building had been a large neo-Gothic structure, Y Church 1970-72 constructed in 1850, and its footings cut through to early Roman levels in some areas. The excavations identified the line of the robber trench of the late Roman fort wall and part of the surface of a Roman road cut through by medieval pits. A flagged surface, constructed of re-used Roman building material was identified in association with late Saxon pottery, and other pits were identified of a similar date, one containing a rim sherd of 8th or 9th century form. The curving outer edge of the bailey ditch of the Norman castle was discovered, and a section through this feature was recorded. Substantial medieval stone buildings were discovered on the southern part of the site, assumed to be the remains of the 'Moot Hall', the only documented structure known to have been situated in this area, to the east of the church. ESY1046 High Fisher Gate Excavations identified the base of the ditch of the Roman Y 1972 Flavian era fort, and the shallow remains of a late Roman ditch. Parts of the inner and outer post-Roman 'burh' ditches were also identified. The inner 'burh' ditch was recorded about 4m below the modern ground surface, and was around 7.4m wide and 3m deep, with a flat bottomed v-shaped profile. The ditch contained a range of pottery, from residual Roman pieces, and a sherd of Saxon pot, to medieval Hallgate ware. This may suggest a process of infilling through the later 12th century, with the final infilling occurring in the 14th century. The insubstantial remains of a structure of 14th or 15th century date were also found, which were overlain by a late- medieval or post-medieval building associated with Cistercian ware, of a late 15th or early 16th century date. ESY1048 Baxter Gate The substantial robber trench of the late Roman fort wall was Y 1966/1972 identified, with a fill including a 14th century long-cross penny. A probable medieval compact gravel road surface was also recorded, which may have formed part of a road running behind the medieval tenements which front onto Market Place. The line of the inner 'burh' ditch, adjacent to the line of the late Roman fort wall, was identified running across the site. Another ditch, around 6m across and 4m deep, with a U- shaped profile, was identified approximately 7m from the line of the late Roman fort wall, possibly a recut of the inner ditch.. A further ditch to the south, identified with the outer 'burh' defences, was of a similar size and profile. The excavations also uncovered a late 15th century stone lined cess pit, the walls of a post-medieval building and two oven. An extensive collection of post-medieval pottery was discovered in a pit.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records for the site itself. Within the buffer zone, there are 15 SMR records, mostly located to the south of the site. These include the site of Danum Roman fort and associated pottery and coins, Anglo Saxon pottery, a medieval motte and bailey castle, a medieval boat yard and hall, and post-medieval industrial mills and factories. Sixteen events are also recorded within the buffer zone, again mostly located to the south of the site, with some to the east. To the immediate south of the site, an archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Friars Gate. Five worked masonry blocks were retrieved from uncertified deposits on the site providing tentative evidence for ecclesiastical structures in the vicinity. To the immediate east of the site, excavations revealed the presence of shorefront structures on the northern bank of the River Don, probably dating to the 13th to 14th centuries. Pottery dating to the Roman and immediate post-conquest periods suggests that even earlier features may be present on the site below unexcavated layers of alluvium. On the 'town side' of the river the evaluation failed to locate any archaeological deposits or features of note. This may be the result of the severe truncation sustained in much of this area as a result of the presence of 19th- and 20th-century gasworks and associated buildings. Other events to the south of the site recorded substantial activity in the area from the Roman period right up to the twentieth century. Much of the activity is focused around the course of the River Don. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer zone, the wall of the Roman Fort of Danum. This is located at the southern end of the buffer zone. One grade II listed building is also located at the southern end of the buffer zone, the clergy house associated with Doncaster Minster. 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, though this has been removed by development since the photograph was taken. Further post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks are recorded within the northern end of the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as industrial, occupied by a large industrial units. There is no legibility of earlier piecemeal enclosure landscape. The buffer zone contains numerous character types, which relate to a variety of housing, industry and infrastructure. Two areas of historic landfill are recorded within the buffer zone; Land to the Rear of Railway Engineer’s Department, to the immediate north of the site; and Gas House Bight, to the northeast of the site. No further information is given for these records. The majority of the site is occupied by a number of industrial units. The A19 runs along the southern boundary of the site, and the railway track of the Mile Thorn Siding is located to the immediate west of the site. The eastern boundary is formed by the River Don. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is located within a number of fields in 1851, with the Doncaster and Thorne Railway established to the west of the site and Mile Thorn Siding to the north. Mill Dike ran through the western part of the site on a northwest to southeast alignment, and labelled River Don (old course) on the 1894 map. By this date a long narrow building aligned approximately east-west was present in the north-eastern area of the site, being removed by 1930. By 1902 Mill Dyke no longer existed, and its route was shown as a field boundary. By 1937 an additional line had been added to the railway, extending from the main London and North Eastern railway line to the west of the site, running along the northern boundary of the site and continuing to the east. This was named the Wheatley Park Branch, which crossed the Don over a bridge, which is still present today. By 1960 a small pond was present at the north end of the site, and a drain had been established to the south of it, on a northeast to southwest alignment. By 1969 the current site boundaries had been established with the creation of several buildings on the site, including a large abattoir and several warehouses. A small road network had also been established on the site, accessed by a bridge over the River Don. By 1984 a warehouse at the southern end of the

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

site had been extended considerably. In 1851 the River Don meandered to the east of the site, with a landing harbour marked on its northern side, named Ladies Harbour. A gas works was located to the east of the site, which by 1894 had expanded considerably further to the east, with the construction of two large round gasholders. A Friary was present to the southwest of the site in 1851, as was the mainline railway, located to the west. By 1894 a sewage pumping station had been constructed to the north of the gasworks. By 1904 allotment gardens had been laid out to the east of the site, on the opposite bank of the river. By 1930 a new cut of the Don had been created to the east of the site and the sewage works had expanded to the west. A Toffee Works had been established at the extreme northeast end of the buffer zone with a spinning mill a little further to the north. By 1937, more work had been undertaken to alter the course of the Don, and by this time it had been altered to its present day course. Most of the original course had been removed, although a small section still remained by the Gasworks to the west of the site, named Gashouse Bight. By 1960 a sheep market and farmer’s club had been established to the southeast of the site, and a small addition had been made to the Wheatley Park Branch Railway, which extended down to the Gasworks at the southern end of the site. By 1969 a Printing Works and Good Yard associated with the railway were present to the immediate southwest of the site, and Chappell Drive had been created with a bridge over the Don, to allow access to the site. The Wheatley Park Branch railway had been removed by this time. By 1980 the A630 road had been constructed, to the south-east of the site and the main structure of the gasworks had been demolished by this time, although two gasholders remained. Survival: The construction of an abattoir and several warehouse buildings on the site between 1966 and 1969 is likely to have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits within the site. There may be the potential for the survival of deeply buried remains within the site, particularly in the vicinity of the old course of the River Don, but this is currently unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty first century aerial photographs show the site as unchanged from the 1992 OS map. By 2008 the large abattoir building at the northern end of the site had been removed. The warehouse buildings remain. Lidar imagery for the site is largely obscured by recent industrial development in the area. As such, no features pre- dating the 19th century can be identified within the site or the buffer zone.
