Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site and one findspot within the buffer zone. The monument is Wheatley Hall Park, an ornamental landscape park associated with Wheatley Hall, which was built in 1683 and demolished in 1938. The park covered 103 acres by 1854, and included pleasure grounds to the north of the hall and the main landscape park to the south and southeast. The sites of the hall, the hall farm and the pleasure grounds (‘The Grove’) all lie within the site. The findspot was of a Roman coin, though its location is poorly provenanced and it may not have come from within the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a small area of ridge and furrow remains at the southeast edge of the site and further earthwork ridge and furrow to the east within the buffer. These were recorded from a photograph dating to 1950, and the areas have since been developed. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the eastern part of the site as an area of mixed industrial use, including the main plant of a tractor works (now demolished), as well as smaller works and yards. Most of this area was developed in the mid-20th century and there is no legibility of the former character of regular fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1771. The western side of the site is also industrial works, including more of the tractor works, on the site of the former Wheatley Park, briefly used as golf course in the early 20th century. Within the centre of this area is a further polygon, of the same present character but marking the site of the former Wheatley Hall, built in 1683, probably on the site of an earlier manor house. Wheatley Farm, to the east of the hall, was also within this polygon, and was shown on the 1854 map. One farm building survived at the time of the HEC project, but may have since been demolished. Other character zones within the buffer include drained wetland at Bentley Ings to the north of the Don, a retail park and social housing estates to the southeast, a sewage works to the east, and a sports ground to the southwest. The majority of the site is currently vacant land cleared of works buildings, with an area of rough grass and scrub to the northeast and some surviving works buildings or warehouses in the southwest part of the site. The northern boundary is formed by the River Don, and the southern boundary by Wheatley Hall Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the western part of the site containing Wheatley Hall at its western end, with Wheatley Farm to the east. The hall was surrounded by pleasure grounds called 'The Grove'. The eastern part of the site was several fields, with Don Bank Plantation in the northeast tip. The old course of the River Don ran through the northern side of the site, on a more meandering course than the Don New Cut to the north. An area labelled 'Wheatley Ford' to the northeast of the farm, may be an old river crossing place. The 1892 map showed a boat house at the point where the old and new courses of the river intersected, north of the farm. By 1907, some of the field boundaries within the eastern side of the site had been removed to create larger units. The 1930 map showed the boat house site as a sheepwash. The hall was still standing at that date, but had been demolished by 1939, when construction of Wheatley Hall Road had begun along the southern boundary of the site. The Grove and Wheatley Farm were still shown within the western part of the site, and the eastern part was still fields. By 1956, the eastern part of the site was occupied by three large works buildings, labelled Automobile Factory, whilst the western side contained numerous smaller buildings at the northern side and probable works buildings to the south, including five parallel narrow, linear buildings. A works railway ran along the southern edge of the site. The 1968 map showed the numerous small structures in the western side as set amongst trees within a grid- pattern track layout to the north, up to the edge of the Old River Don course. The layout suggests these may have been part of a barracks or similar military site established during the Second World War, but they are never labelled. The 1982-93 map showed the main factory buildings in the eastern half of the site, with a spoil heap or
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
refuse dump to the northeast of the buildings. The smaller factory buildings to the south of the western part of the site were still shown, though the smaller buildings to the north had been demolished and new works buildings shown in their location. Loops of the old course of the River Don were still visible as watercourses, possibly ponds, at the northeast and northwest sides of the site. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Wheatley Park to the southwest of the site, and regular fields to the south and east. The River Don New Cut and a parallel channel called The Flood Drain ran to the immediate north of the site, with the Great Northern and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway running roughly parallel to the north. In 1894 and 1906, an area of fields at the east of the buffer was labelled 'Sewage Farm', with no structures shown within it. The 1956 map showed the remnant of the Grove to the west of the site, and a sports ground east of it. Electrical Engineering and Clothing factories were shown to the south of Wheatley Hall Road and a large sewage works at the eastern edge of the buffer. By 1968, the Grove was no longer shown and the area was labelled 'Sports Field'. Allotment gardens were shown to the immediate east of the site at that date. Further development took place to the south of Wheatley Hall Road, including works and housing, by 1982. Survival: Some of the surviving works buildings on the site (in 2015) appear to date from the 1950s, and may be of some historic interest. The HEC record for the site states that one of the buildings of Wheatley Hall Farm survived within this area, but it has not been possible to establish this from the map and aerial evidence. The construction of the factories is likely to have had a substantial impact on buried remains, though the depth of disturbance across the site is unknown. There is the potential for the survival of buried remains associated with Wheatley Hall and Wheatley Farm within the western part of the site. The potential for earlier remains is unknown; the site contains the old course of the River Don, and is in an area that was liable to flooding in the historic period, and may not have been a suitable area for habitation. The location suggests that there is the potential for deep alluvial sequences, which could contain palaeoenvironmental and organic remains, as well as the potential for the preservation of palaeochannels, and remains of human activity associated with the exploitation of the riverine environment. A ford was recorded within the site on the 1854 map, and this may have been a long-established crossing point. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. This should include an assessment of the historic significance of any standing buildings remaining on the site. Significance: Unknown.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph shows the site occupied by works buildings in a similar layout to the 1992 map, the buildings at the southwest side being the five parallel linear buildings first shown in 1956. The northeast tip of the site was shown as rough grass, with part of the area used for storage of materials. Loops of the old course of the River Don are shown at the northeast and northwest sides of the site. By 2009 some of the works buildings at the northern and eastern sides of the site had been demolished, and the 2015 image showed all of the central and eastern half cleared, with some of the 1950s buildings towards the southwest side still standing. Lidar data shows the course of the old River Don at the northeast and northwest corners of the site. The land at the northeast corner is shown as uneven and slightly raised, and may have been landscaped after the refuse dump was removed. The remainder of the site shows the outline of works buildings and the road network, but no other features of clear archaeological interest.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one findspot within the site, a Roman coin; however, this is recorded in the text as being found at Toll Bar, Bentley, which is 3km to the north of the site, suggesting that the grid reference on the SMR record is incorrect. No monuments or events are recorded within the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded earthwork ridge and furrow within the site from a photograph of 1946; however, as the site has since been built on, these earthwork features do not survive. Further ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded within the buffer zone to the north and west of the site, and military buildings were shown in the southeast part of the buffer on a photograph from 1948. This area has also since been redeveloped. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the buffer to the north and south as an industrial estate within a triangle of land isolated from the surrounding countryside in the early 20th century and developed for industry between 1948 and 1966. There is no legibility of the former character of piecemeal enclosure from open field. Further character zones within the buffer comprise allotments to the northwest, 20th-century terraced housing, private and social housing estates to the north, east and southwest, playing fields and an industrial estate to the east, regenerated scrubland to the southeast, retail to the southwest, a small area of surviving piecemeal enclosures and a school to the west. The site is currently cleared, vacant ground formerly occupied by industrial buildings. It is bounded to the south by Watch House Lane, to the north and west by housing, and to the east by a disused railway line. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as part of an area of fields to the north of Watch House Lane. The fields were of fairly irregular shape suggestive of piecemeal enclosure, possibly from open fields. Between 1907 and 1930, the LNER Gowdall and Braithwell railway line was built along the eastern side of the site, cutting through the fields on a north-south alignment. By 1956, two industrial works buildings had been constructed in the southwest part of the site, with the northern area still shown as fields, with allotment gardens along the eastern side. Between 1971 and 1980, works were constructed at the northwest side of the site and further north within the buffer. This layout was unchanged in 1992, when the northeast side of the site was still shown as undeveloped. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the area as mainly fields, with Pipering Lane Plantation shown at the northern end, and the Great North Road running through the southwest edge. Railway lines had been constructed by 1930, with the LNER line mentioned above and a triangular junction between it and a mineral railway line to the south. Fields to the east and southeast of the site had been converted to allotment gardens by that date, with housing shown to the south of Watch House Lane. By 1948, Raymond Road had begun construction to the west of the site, with further housing along Watch House Lane and the southern buffer. Works or military buildings were shown to the southeast in 1956, and further works had been built to the south by 1966, when housing was shown in the northern buffer and to the west of the site, along Amersall Road. Survival: The site was developed over the second half of the 20th century with large works buildings. It is likely that the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is low. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph showed that the northeast side of the site had been developed with further works buildings after 1992. The site was occupied by large ranges of works buildings with hard-surfaced parking and storage areas between the buildings. By 2008, the works to the north of the site had been demolished and the area redeveloped with housing, creating the current northern site boundary. The works within the site were still standing and apparently in use at that date. By 2015, all the buildings within the site had been demolished. Lidar data shows the building footprints, and no earthworks of archaeological interest. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument and one event within the site: the monument was the former Crimpsall Repair Works, used for repairing railway carriages and locomotives, with the event relating to building recording of the works prior to their demolition. Five findspots and four monuments are recorded within the buffer: the finds were of Mesolithic to Bronze Age flints found at Newton, an early Bronze Age stone hammerhead; a Roman coin hoard found at an unspecified location; and two Roman flagons. The monuments comprised the site of Newton shrunken medieval settlement; an 18th- to 19th-century farmhouse complex; and an undated quarry. Two events were undertaken in the buffer zone: geophysical survey and fieldwalking at the supposed site of Norton SMV, and a watching brief at Crimpsall Sluice that demonstrated a substantial depth of alluvial deposits but did not identify any archaeological remains. There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. Three grade II listed buildings are recorded in the buffer, all associated with Doncaster Plant Works and located to the east of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Iron Age or Roman boundary ditches and a post-medieval limestone quarry were recorded in the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the northeast half of the site as industrial in nature, relating to the Doncaster Plant Works, where locomotives were constructed and repaired. Although opened in 1853, this part of the works is first depicted on the 1903 OS map. The southwest part of the site is divided between an area of Regenerated Scrubland, probably previously used as pasture or meadows and likely to have fallen into disuse as the surrounding area became industrialised in the mid-20th century; and Eden Grove sports ground, opened in 1914 for the use of workers at the Doncaster Plant Works. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Valley Floor Meadows, Private Housing Estate, Agglomerated Fields, Allotments, Sports Ground, Terraced Housing, Religious, Prison, Farm Complex, Planned Estate (Social Housing), Civic & Municipal Buildings and Chemical. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the site, the Old Works site, used for dumping inert material. A further area of historic landfill is recorded within the buffer zone to the immediate west of the site, at Hexthorpe Allotments, with no information available. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The majority of the site was shown as Hexthorpe Ings on the 1854 OS map. ‘Ings’ were water meadows or meadows that were prone to flooding. Fields, footpaths, a lane, an orchard, Australia Gardens and two small islands with a connecting water channel were shown within the site at that date. Orchard House, a further orchard, several ‘stones’ and greenhouses were shown within the site on the 1892 map. The Great Yorkshire Railway Plant Works had been constructed in the eastern part of the site by 1902. These had been extended by 1930, when a cricket ground, an athletics ground, a bowling green, tennis courts and allotments were shown in the remainder of the site. A running track and a club had been built in the western part of the site by 1960. A marshy area and a spoilheap were shown in the northern part of the site in 1971. These were not shown on the 1984 OS map. Little further substantive change was shown within the site at that date. Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, the River Don and a towing path, Newton Gate Ferry, Newton Ings, the remains of a stone cross, a lime kiln and limestone quarry, Hexthorpe, Hexthorpe Reach, Hexthorpe House, Hexthorpe Lane, Cherry tree Station, a mineral office and the Union Workhouse. Crimpsall, a gas works, housing, Hexthorpe Brass Works, Lincoln Wagon Works and Hexthorpe Wagon Wheel Works were shown within the buffer in 1892. Home Lodge, a malthouse, Old Hexthorpe and a manor house were marked on the 1904 OS map, with The Dell, extensive housing, allotments and the extended LNER Locomotive & Carriage Works shown in 1930. Further housing was shown in 1948 and 1956, with a depot and greenhouses in 1961. Marshy areas, nursery gardens, a chapel and a sports ground and pavilion were shown
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 5 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
in 1966. A power station, sports ground and settling ponds were shown within the buffer on the 1984 OS map. Survival: The construction of the 19th-century wagon works is likely to have impacted on sub-surface deposits within the footprint of the buildings. An area of historic landfill is recorded at the northern side of the site, though only a small area of spoil tip is recorded on the 1961 OS map. It is possible that the record may relate to material dumped to raise ground levels adjacent to the river, to prevent flooding of the works site. The southwest part of the site has had relatively little disturbance, though some truncation may have been caused by the creation of the sports pitches and club buildings. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology in this area is considered to be moderate. There may also be the potential for deeply buried remains in alluvial deposits across the site. 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 a large area of scrub in the northern part of the site, a sports pitch in the western part of the site and the surviving buildings and car parks of the Crimpsall Repair Works in the eastern part of the site. The site had been cleared by 2008, when landscaping works were being undertaken. No change is visible within the site on 2009 and 2015 aerial photographs. Lidar data shows some ground disturbance within the site and former tracks associated with the wagon repair works. Given the extensive landscaping within the site, this suggests that the lidar data was gathered prior to the landscaping works. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2015.

The results revealed deposits of alluvial material extending to a depth of 3.5m. No archaeological deposits were encountered during the excavations. ESY888 Building Recording The buildings were typical of their date and function. Building Y at Crimpsall Repair 1 was designed to provide an immense working space in which Works, Hexthorpe, to repair large engines and carriages, whilst Building 2 was Doncaster typical for an ancillary railway building such as offices and canteen. Both buildings have experienced a degree of alteration and modernisation, in particular building 2, resulting in a loss of historic character. All evidence for power transmission has, for instance, been lost in the main shed and many of the original features, such as the travelling cranes, have been modernised. However, the Crimpsall Repair Works bear testimony to Doncaster's railway heritage and the role of the railways in the development of the town in the late 19th and early 20th century. ESY1443 Geophysical survey Fieldwalking, resistivity and magnetometry surveys were Y and fieldwalking carried out on the putative site of the former medieval village east of Newton, of Newton. The geophysical surveys identified a possible Doncaster revetting wall, which may have provided stable ground for the house platforms. However, the feature could be a natural rock outcrop. An assemblage of residual prehistoric flints and medieval pottery of 12th-16th century date was recovered from the fieldwalking exercise.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any events or monuments within the site. In the buffer, eight monuments and two events are recorded. To the north of the site, the monuments include a dovecote and a manor house, both of which are Grade II listed, and St James Church, which is Grade II* listed. The monuments to the east of the site include a medieval cottage, a medieval market cross (also a Scheduled Monument), two post-medieval farmhouses (one of which is Grade II listed) and an undated cropmark. The two events within the buffer are both archaeological watching briefs; one at St James Church, and one at Maltkiln farm. Little of archaeological interest was recorded at either site. There is one scheduled monument within the buffer zone, the market cross (mentioned above), located at the junction of Holywell Lane, High Street, Maltby Lane and Ashton Lane. There are 13 listed buildings within the buffer, all of which are located to the north and east of the site. To the north, in addition to the manor house, dovecote and church mentioned above, are three Grade II listed gravestones associated with St James Church, and a Grade II listed war memorial. To the east, in addition to the above-mention Grade II listed farmhouse is a milestone, a post-medieval farmhouse and associated gates, an old school house and a post-medieval house, all of which are Grade II listed. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the buffer as medieval to modern vernacular cottages. This character area contains limestone houses in the vernacular tradition dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, with some later infilling. Braithwell is an old settlement which is recorded as having a church and priest in the Domesday Book. Further character zones within the buffer include enclosed land of surveyed enclosure and strip fields to the west, with partial legibility of the former open field landscape; and a mix of detached and semi-detached housing, with fragmentary legibility of the former parliamentary enclosures. The site currently comprises waste ground, with several sheds situated to the south and east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1854 OS map, the site is shown as a part of three fields, with trees in the western field. There is little change on the site until 1929, by which time a small building is present in the southern field, fronting on to Ashton Lane. By 1956 this building is no longer present. By 1985, a north-south aligned building had been constructed in the eastern half of the site, which had been demolished by 1994. At this time, a small building was present at the south of the site, off-set from Ashton Lane. Within the buffer, in 1854 the village of Braithwell was well-established to the north and east of the site. The manor house is marked to the north of the site, and to the west and south are fields. The location of the market cross is marked on the 1892 map. By 1962, houses had been constructed along Ashton Lane, to the immediate west of the site, with some additional development to the east of the site, off the High Street. By 1966, to the southeast of the site, a number of new buildings had been constructed off Braithwell Road. By 1985 Orchard House Farm had been constructed to the immediate north-east of the site, and there is little change in the buffer on the 1994 map. Cardwell Court and its associated houses, just outside the northern boundary of the site, were built by 1999. Survival: There have been a handful of buildings on the site since 1854, although these have been at the perimeter of the site and have not lasted long, suggesting they may have been temporary structures, perhaps sheds or agricultural buildings. Recent Google Earth images show the site to have been in use as allotments, with several structures which appear to be polytunnels. Beneath the level of impact of allotment activity and possible past ploughing

activity on the site, the potential for the survival or previously unrecorded heritage assets is considered to be moderate to high. Further investigations: Given the proximity of the manor house and the medieval core of the village, further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as allotments, with polytunnels at the eastern end of the site in 1999. The site remains much the same up until 2009. By 2015, the allotment gardens and polytunnels had been removed, with several structures which appear to be large sheds built at the southern and eastern ends of the site and the rest of the site appearing as waste ground. There is no available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth images 1999, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: SMR records one monument within the site and buffer, and one findspot within the buffer. The site and part of the buffer lie within the likely extent of the medieval village of Armthorpe. Within the southern part of the buffer, at Tranmoor Lane, is the findspot of a Roman coin dated to 117-138 AD. 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. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as a planned social housing estate, predominantly semi-detached housing probably constructed for the local authority in the 1940s to 1960s, with no legibility of former characters. South of the estate is a school, established in 1982, and a further planned housing estate of 1970s date. The north of the buffer comprises two further planned housing estates; one built in the early 20th century to a geometric design to house colliery workers at the nearby Markham Main, the other predominantly semi-detached housing constructed in the 1970s. Directly to the west of the site is an area of villas/detached housing, with gardens appearing to be a series of early allotments. Further to the west is the Miners Welfare Ground playing fields, established c.1924, with Armthorpe urban core to the northwest. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts the site as within an area known as Pittam Gardens which comprises small piecemeal enclosures and strip fields which may have been used as allotments. The 1894 OS map indicates that a Smithy was located on the site and by 1907 a series of buildings had been constructed along the edge of Tranmoor Lane, possibly associated with the Smithy. The 1948 map depicts a further building, labelled Club, in the south of the site. By 1968 the site has been surrounded by planned social housing and development and development had begun in Pittam Gardens to the west, with further development of the surrounding area by 1975. Within the site itself, the early 20th century buildings had been removed and a dairy had been established on the site along with a larger complex of buildings in the northern area. Survival: The site has been developed throughout the 20th century and therefore any potential archaeological features are likely to have been damaged or destroyed. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as being laid largely to concrete to the south, with three large warehouse-type structures currently occupied by Direct Fireplaces. In the north of the site are two 20th-century houses, possibly constructed as part of the dairy, with lawns to the west. The site is bordered by a combination of metal fencing and low brick walls. LiDAR data does not show any archaeological features or anomalies within the site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the site, both extending into the buffer. The site lies within the former location of a manor house shown in 1854, and also within the likely medieval extent of the village of Armthorpe. One additional monument, one findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer. The Church of St Mary/St Leonard is located to the west of the site, and is also a listed building. Within the northern part of the buffer, a possible Mesolithic flint blade fragment was found and archaeological evaluation at Mere Lane revealed medieval pits, posthole and land surface in addition to post medieval structures. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. The Grade II listed Church of St Mary is within the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded one bank relating to a 20th century Air Raid Shelter within the northern part of the buffer. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as villas/detached housing of the historic Armthorpe Village. The majority of the housing dates to the suburbanisation of Armthorpe from the early 20th century onwards. Beyond this is St Marys Church. St. Mary, a medieval foundation with additions and alterations made in 1884. In the north is a school and its extensive recreational and sporting facilities. To the east and south of the site are planned housing estates built in the 1970s and 1980s, with Armthorpe urban core further to the east. To the southwest of the site is an area of scrap yards and other industrial premises, Markham Main Colliery and an associated spoil heap. The Colliery began production in 1924 and ceased operation in 1996. Since then most of the buildings have been demolished. The site currently comprises a detached house and its surrounding gardens. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1858 OS map depicted the site as lying within an area of piecemeal enclosure which radiated away from the road to the south. By 1982 two buildings had been constructed on the eastern side of the site and trees planted, with the area labelled as ‘The Beehive’. Ivy House was first depicted within the site on the 1973 map, with few changes since that date. Within the buffer, the 1858 OS map depicts the former location of a Manor House directly to the north of the site, fronting onto Church Street. By 1930, large scale development was shown in the area north of Church Street and Markham Main Coillery had been established to the west, with further development of the area to the west of the site by 1961, as a number of detached houses were constructed north of the industrial area. By 1973 the large housing development at Tranmore Lane was depicted and the Poplars was shown to the southwest. The building directly to the north of the site, fronting onto Church Street was depicted as a dental surgery. Survival: Development has occurred within the southern part site over the past 50 years which could have disturbed any potential archaeological features. However; the proximity of the site to the former manor house and its location within the medieval core of the village suggest that archaeological features may survive in the northern part of the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is allocated for development. Significance: Remains associated with the manor house or medieval activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site to be a residential area which includes Ivy House and an adjacent garage at the centre. The land to the north, south and west of the site comprises manicured lawn and mature trees with driveway access from Barton Lane running in an east-west direction. LiDAR data shows a semi circular anomaly of unknown origin in the area of the site to the south of Ivy House. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Ridge and furrow cultivation remains are located within the northeast edge of the buffer zone, in an area since developed. The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the western half of the site and buffer as residential, planned estate (social housing) identified as Trafalgar Estate South constructed in the 1960s, although this does not seem to correspond with the buildings within the site. It notes that one stone built vernacular building remains at centre of village, which may refer to the buildings within the site. The eastern half of the site and buffer is characterised as commercial, retail park and in Carcroft Town Centre. It comprises large 'shed' type retail premises with open area car parking, on a site formerly occupied by toft-type plots behind buildings of Carcroft 'old' village. Again, this does not correspond to the buildings within the site. The site serves as an auction house, consisting of at least three structures constructed of sandstone with brick infill. At least one of the structures represents a re-used barn, the remainder appear as workshops. The ground between the structures consists of a concreted yard. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map depicts the site at the south-western end of High Street, on the corner of Chestnut Avenue. The map records an L-shaped structure fronting the road. By 1892 the structure was extended with a wing stretching to the north, effectively making the building appear U-shaped in plan. These buildings are still present on the site. Within the buffer, the 1851 map shows tofts planted with orchards to the east and north of the site. By 1930 there had been considerable urban development along the Skellow Road to the south, as well as along the High Street, including the construction of a cinema on the site of the orchard immediately to the east of the site. Similar development had occurred to the north along Chestnut Avenue. Survival: The structures within the site appear to pre-date the available historic mapping evidence and are likely to represent farm buildings and/or workshops. They are of stone-built construction, mainly with pantile roofs, though some buildings have replacement corrugated metal roofs. These structures are of clear historic interest, representing a rare survival of historic structures within the village. They are not currently listed or recorded on the SMR. The ground around the buildings has been concreted and may mask any earlier cobbled surfaces. There may be the potential for the survival of earlier archaeological features and deposits below undisturbed areas of the site. Further investigations: Unlisted historic buildings survive within the site. Further assessment of the historic character and significance of the buildings would assist in establishing whether there was capacity for housing on this site. Significance: Further appraisal of the buildings would be required to ascertain their historic significance. Given the rarity of surviving structures from this period within the village, the buildings may be considered to be of at least Local archaeological significance.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the site as a group of buildings currently in use as an auction centre and outbuildings. Street View indicates that the buildings are of stone construction in a vernacular style and at least some may be of 18th-century date or earlier. The site is enclosed to the north and east by a stone wall. Vegetation has encroached with the yard area by 2015. Lidar coverage shows only the building plots with no other notable features.

Site assessment Known assets/character: SMR records show one monument within the site three monuments and one event within the buffer. The site and part of the buffer lie within the likely extent of the medieval village of Armthorpe. Within the buffer the monuments of the Church of St Mary/St Leonard and the site of a former Manor House are recorded. Archaeological evaluation at Mere Lane revealed medieval pits, posthole and land surface in addition to post medieval structures. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. The Grade II listed Church of St Mary is within the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded one bank relating to a 20th century Air Raid Shelter within the buffer. The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and the south western part of the buffer as Markham Main Colliery and spoil heap. The Colliery began production in 1924 and ceased operation in 1996, since when most of the buildings have been demolished and the site reclaimed. There is no legibility of the former character of strip fields consolidated from the furlongs of medieval open field. Directly south of the site is St Marys Church, a medieval foundation with later additions. The northwest of the buffer is recorded as part of a large planned housing estate known as Mansfield Crescent, built to house colliery workers. In the northeast of the buffer are villas/detached housing within the historic Armthorpe Village, with the majority of the housing dating to the early 20th century onwards. The northeast part of the buffer is a school and recreational and sporting facilities. The site currently comprises a grassed plot and possible allotment gardens. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as being within one of a number of piecemeal enclosures directly south of Doncaster Road, with the White House to the east. By 1906, the site had been divided from the grounds of the White House by a tree/hedged boundary that still exists to the present day. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted St Marys Church and the White House to the east of the site. By 1930, extensive development had taken place to the north of the Mansfield Crescent housing estate and to the west, Markham Main Colliery had been established. The area directly to the south of the site was part of the church graveyard at that date. By 1961 there had been further housing development in the area to the south of the site including the establishment of Barton Lane. Survival: Although the site is characterised as part of Markham Main Colliery, cartographic analysis does not show any mining activity within the site. The site has been a field since at least 1854 and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. The site’s location within the core of the medieval village suggests there is the potential for remains of this period to survive. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is allocated for development. Significance: Unknown.
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 to be grassed, bounded on the southern and western sides by low walls and mature trees, to the north by a combination of walls and hedges and to the east by a shrub border forming part of the garden of the White House. Along the southern edge are two greenhouses or sheds, and within the northern part of the site are what appears to be small allotment plots. LiDAR data shows no archaeological features or anomalies.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern end of the buffer zone as drained wetland, which was probably former wetland common. The establishment of the current drained wetland probably dates to the Campsall, Askern and Norton Enclosure Award of 1818. There is no legibility of earlier wetland common. Further character types within the buffer zone include modern housing, a school and a park. The site is located at the southern end of Askern. To the north is a modern housing estate, with fields to the south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is part of a long, narrow field on the 1854 map. Rushy Moor Lane was extant to the immediate west of the site, running along the western site boundary, and Mill Dike was present at the south of the site, forming the southern site boundary. The site remained unchanged until 1975, by which time houses had been built to the immediate north of the site, creating the northern site boundary. A small structure was also present at the north- western corner of the site at this time, possibly a house. The site remained unchanged on the 1986 map. In 1854 the majority of the area surrounding the site was mainly narrow rectangular fields, which were part of Askern Common. Rushy Moor Lane was present to the immediate west of the site, with Mill Dike to the south. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway was extant to the west of the site and Askern Common Road was depicted to the north. Askern Common Plantation was located to the southeast of the site. By 1948, houses had been developed along Rushy Moor Avenue, to the immediate north-west of the site, and by 1975 houses had been developed to the north of the site. By 1984 this housing development had expanded considerably to the east, so the entire northern half of the buffer zone contained modern housing by this time. The southern buffer zone remained undeveloped fields. Survival: The site was part of a wetland common before it was drained around 1818. Drainage and any arable cultivation are likely to have caused some damage to sub-surface deposits through truncation and desiccation. The construction of the small house in the northwest corner in the 1960s-1970s is also likely to have truncated sub- surfaced deposits. With the exception of the footprint of the house, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 demonstrate that the eastern site boundary had been established by 2002, with the creation of a house to the immediate east of the site. A track from Rushy Moor Lane leads from the western end of the site to the house, effectively splitting the site into two fields of scrub wasteland. The house in the north-western corner of the site that was first present on the 1975 map had been demolished by 2002. There is no available Lidar data for the 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 did not record any features within the site. A rectilinear enclosure and associated field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date are recorded as cropmarks within the northeast part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the northern buffer as the modern Bankwood Industrial Estate. The site is part of an area that was used as allotments prior to the creation of the industrial estate, with the northern part of the estate, within the buffer, previously forming West End Wood, with the edge of the depot fossilising the boundary of the ancient woodland. Further character zones within the buffer comprise ancient woodland to the southeast, allotments to the west, a social housing estate to the south and part of a colliery spoil heap and former colliery buildings at the western edge. Historic landfill data records one tip within the northwest part of the buffer, the Rossington Dumpit Site. The site is currently occupied by a modern lightweight industrial shed, shown as a factory outlet, with a small car parking area to the south. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a field at the junction of Bank Wood Lane and West End Lane. By 1892 a boundary to the north had been removed and the site was part of a larger field. By 1930, the site was shown as part of an area of allotment gardens. A number of sheds were shown within the site in 1962. The 1989 depicted a factory within the site, with a circular tank in the eastern corner. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows West End Wood to the north, Peasant Bank wood to the west and Holmes Carr Great Wood to the southwest. The remaining area is fields, mainly strip fields in an area known as The Park, possibly a former medieval deer park associated with the manor of Draw Dikes. By 1930, the southern and eastern parts of the buffer contained housing estates forming part of the colliery village of New Rossington. Pheasant Bank was shown as rough pasture and scrub at that date. By 1948, housing was under construction to the west of the site, and several works buildings were shown at the southern end of Pheasant Bank, probably associated with Rossington Main Colliery to the west. A TA Centre and clinic were shown to the immediate east of the site in 1962. The industrial estate to the north of the site was first shown in 1989, with a depot to the immediate north and further depots, works, coal and scrap yards to the west of Bank Wood Lane and within the former West End Wood. Survival: The site has been occupied by a modern factory/retail building since the 1980s. The extent of sub-surface disturbance caused by the construction of this building is currently unknown. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is also currently unknown. Iron Age to Roman field boundaries have been recorded within the buffer to the north of the site, and such remains could continue into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Six findspots, 26 monuments and 29 events are recorded within the buffer. The findspots comprise a flint dagger and a collection of Mesolithic to Bronze Age flint artefacts from fieldwalking; one individual Roman coin and three coin hoards and a Roman altar. Pre-Roman monuments comprise an Iron Age pit at Waterdale and a possible pre-Roman boundary ditch in the Hall Gate area, sealed by the Roman road that ran into Doncaster. As well as the route of the road, Roman features include settlement remains on Wood Street; a 2nd-century cremation and inhumation cemetery at Hall Gate and a further cemetery at Waterdale; a pit or ditch terminus; parallel ditches that may have formed part of the town's defences; possible building remains off High Street and pits near Cleveland Street. Medieval features comprised the site of a Carmelite Friary and associated pits, wall footings a substantial road and ovens; pottery kilns found in the Hallgate and Wood Street area; footings of medieval buildings; part of the town ditch; and lime- slaking pits. Medieval to post-medieval buildings and features were found during excavation of the Corn Exchange, with further post-medieval monuments comprising timber framed buildings in the High Street, a stone- lined well, a 19th-century cellar, an early 19th-century workshop; medieval to post-medieval sand and gravel pits; and First World War practice trenches. The events recorded within the buffer comprised 13 evaluations, six excavations; seven watching briefs; and three programmes of building recording, with many of the monuments listed above referring to features found during the events. The nearest events to the site were evaluations and excavations to the north of the site, between Wood Street and Hallgate, which revealed a Roman cemetery, a Roman pit and late medieval to post- medieval occupation, including 16th- and late 18th-century buildings, and a pottery kiln, as well as modern truncation that had removed archaeological remains. Excavation to the immediate east of the site on Wood Street recovered probable Roman settlement remains, comprising field boundary ditches and pits containing locally-made pottery. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Grade I and 48 Grade II listed buildings are recorded in the buffer, mainly grouped along Hall Gate and High Street. 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 late 20th-century Shopping Centre, constructed following wholesale clearance of mid- and early 19th-century terraced housing. With no legibility of the terraced housing or earlier strip enclosure landscapes. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Urban and Suburban Commercial Core, Markets, Terraced Housing, University or College, School, Ring Road/Bypass, Civil & Municipal Buildings and Leisure Centre. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The majority of the site formed part of a yard at the time of the 1852 OS map. Outdoor toilets and pump were situated within the site at that date. While these features were not shown on the 1893 map, the toilets were shown at the same location in 1903 but had been removed by 1930. The site remained an open yard in 1956, but had been developed by 1961. Two rectangular buildings separated by a narrow access road stood within the site at that date. The northernmost building was shown with property divisions as no.s 22-28 Wood Street on the 1969 OS map. A covered cart passage was shown at the southeast of the block at that date, while an open- fronted structure occupied the southeast end of the southern block. The 1984 and 1992 OS maps showed the site in block outline, without distinguishing it from other buildings in the immediate vicinity. Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1852 OS map, including streets, houses, industrial buildings, churches, chapels, shops, public houses, major and minor roads, gardens, allotments, yards, Beechfield House and part of Glasgow Paddocks. The majority of the open spaces within the buffer had been developed by
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 11 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
1892. The late 19th-century townscape remained largely intact in 1930, but clearances had begun to occur by 1948 and had intensified by 1956. The 1962 OS map showed substantial redevelopment, with parts of the 19th- century townscape removed through clearance and road-building schemes, while modern retail and commercial buildings replaced the majority of the domestic properties. Further clearances had taken place by 1969. Little substantive change was shown within the buffer on the 1992 OS map. Survival: Cussins House is a four-storey 20th-century building. It is not known if the building possesses a basement, though the size of the structure suggests that its construction will have caused substantial truncation to sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be low, though Roman to medieval remains were shown to survive in previously-developed areas on nearby sites. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Roman to medieval settlement, burial and industrial activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on its extent, nature and preservation.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show Cussins House within the site. It is a 4-storey 20th-century office and retail building. No changes are visible between 2002 and 2015. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2015.

A small number of inhumation burials of 3rd/4th century date were also recorded. Early post-medieval extractive pits (see PIN 05657) to the northwest of the cemetery complex contained residual Roman material so it is possible the cemetery once extended into that area. 05655 WWI practice Excavations at Waterdale in 2010-11 revealed a complex of Y trenches, trenches. These were originally revetted with wood and were Waterdale, built to British army specifications. These may have been Doncaster practice trenches excavated by local units, to assist with recruitment exercises. 05656 Probable Iron Age Excavations at Waterdale in 2010-11 identified a pit containing Y pit, Waterdale, a residual bladelet (probably Neolithic) and a single sherd of Doncaster Iron Age pottery. It was cut by a Roman pit. 05657 Late/Post medieval Excavations at Waterdale in 2010-11 revealed a number of Y features, extractive pits for sand and gravel and an L-shaped line of post Waterdale, holes. The post holes contained pottery of Roman to medieval Doncaster date, and are likely to represent a fence line or other agricultural feature of later date. ESY33 Evaluation at A series of evaluation trenches on Baxtergate within the Y Baxtergate, historic core of Doncaster. Doncaster ESY746 Archaeological The site was located on an area of recently demolished Y Excavation at buildings, formerly 20-28 Cleveland Street in Doncaster City Yates's Wine Lodge Centre (NGR SE 57540317). The south-eastern part of the site Doncaster had been cut away by a cellar to a depth of 1.8m below modern ground level, while the remainder of the site comprised rough ground. ESY747 Archaeological The site was located at 20-28 Cleveland Street, OS grid Y Evaluation at 20-28 reference SE 57540317. The underlying geology was Bunter Cleveland Street sandstone. The site lay at the heart of medieval Doncaster, close to the reputed position of the medieval town ditch. A Carmelite friary, believed to have been established by John Gaunt, lay to the north. A trial excavation in this area in foundations. Romano-British features were also recorded. ESY839 Archaeological An archaeological watching brief is recommended during the Y Building Appraisal demolition of the phase 2 buildings. at 8-9 Hall Gate, Doncaster, South Yorkshire ESY840 Archaeological Seven trenches were opened during the evaluation. Trenches Y Evaluation at 58-59 1,4 and 5 contained 19th century deposits which destroyed or Hallgate, Doncaster prevented access to earlier layers. Trenches 3,6 and 7 contained features of post-medieval date. Trench 2 revealed a sequence of occupation including a Roman pit, a medieval plough soil horizon, and post-medieval garden levels and floor surfaces. As a result of these findings the South Yorkshire Sites and Monuments record recommended a watching brief during the redevelopment works. ESY841 Archaeological An archaeological excavation has been completed on land Y Excavation at between Hallgate and Wood Street, Doncaster. Evidence has Hallgate, Doncaster been recovered for three phases of activity during the Roman and medieval periods. These include use of the site as a 1st/2nd century cemetery and cremation site, and the medieval production of pottery.

ESY851 Evaluation 10-14A An archaeological evaluation at 10-14A Hallgate, Doncaster Y Hallgate, encountered comprehensive evidence of Roman, medieval Doncaster, South and post-medieval activity. In addition, a wattle fence and Yorkshire ditch were sealed by the Roman road may present pre-Roman activity, although in the absence of pre-Roman artefacts this is still to be confirmed. The Roman road, represented by at least seven phases of cobbles was situated to the north of the present street frontage. Two clay-lined pits, in addition to other discrete pits and post-holes, were medieval in date, while further post-holes and brick cellars represented post- medieval disturbance. ESY853 Further Several phases of late medieval and post medieval occupation Y Archaeological and activity were identified. These included stone buildings of investigations at 16th and 17th century origins, in of which had been modified 58-59 Hallgate, to include a possible oven. More intensive development of the Doncaster site had occurred in the late 18th century, with the contraction of cellared buildings of brick and limestone construction. ESY860 A Watching Brief at The site at 49 Market Place Doncaster was visited on two Y 49 Market Place, occasions in order to carry out a watching brief on site works Doncaster by Fairfax Securities Ltd, as required by the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service.

ESY872 Archaeological The excavations exposed a stone structure associated with two Y Watching Brief deposits of domestic waste, one of which was dated to the Report, at Priory late medieval or early post-medieval period. A layer of Walk, Doncaster, demolition material sealed the domestic deposits. A further South Yorkshire demolition or ground-raising layer dated to the later 17th century was present approximately 400mm below existing ground level. The archaeological potential of the site is considered to be medium to high. ESY873 Archaeological An archaeological watching brief undertaken at Priory Walk, Y Watching Brief at Doncaster revealed the remains of a well of unknown date to Priory Walk, the south of the site and a probable Victorian culvert to the Doncaster, South north-east of the area.

Around this time there was a change in thinking to more hygienic ventilated style of building the Pavilion style which the 1926 Girls and Infants school partially adopted the 1910 High School for Girls was as a grammar school able to pick elements of the new of thinking whilst being able to have a more ornate façade. The 1958 technical College was built to cater for those born during the Second World war and to serve the growing mining and engineering industries which were in and around Doncaster at the time. ESY877 Report on an An archaeological evaluation has been carried out on land off Y Y Archaeological Wood Street, Doncaster. This was in response to a proposal to Evaluation on Land develop the area as a five storey office block. The site was off Wood Street, formally occupied by Doncaster MBC education offices, Doncaster, South constructed in the 19th century. This appeared to have Yorkshire involved ground disturbance to a relatively deep level. This left a limited area in which it was useful to carry out the evaluation. A single trench was excavated which was found to contain remains dated to the Romano-British period. ESY1028 Building Appraisal Photographic survey of building to look for archaeological Y of 10-14A Hall potential. Extensive damage of the buildings by fire was Gate, Doncaster noted. Former 1920s Odeon Cinema and Art Deco shop fronts noted. There was also a former 3 storey townhouse. ESY1032 Trial trenching off Four trenches excavated between Priory Walk and Cleveland Y Cleveland Street, Street, Doncaster. Car Park, Doncaster In the southern part of the area a large ditch was recorded, running roughly along the line of Printing Office Street. This was dated to the 13th century or earlier, as were a number of pits. In the central area were a number of rubble filled, probably robber, pits. A pit containing Roman pottery was also recorded. ESY1033 Market Street Road Archaeological investigation of area surrounding human Y Resurfacing, remains found during road resurfacing. Doncaster ESY1035 Priory Walk Watching Brief revealed no late Medieval/early post-Medieval Y Watching Brief deposits identified in previous watching briefs. ESY1038 Excavation at St Roman features comprised three wide ditches probably Y Sepulchre Gate, representing vicus defences, as well as pits, a gully and a coin Doncaster hoard. Medieval features included four ovens, a well, a stone- lined pit with associated culvert and several rubbish or cess pits. No evidence for of buildings or burgage plots was identified. ESY1047 5,7,8 and 10 High The majority of the archaeology exposed comprised Roman Y Street, Doncaster layers and features, including floors of buildings, postholes, beam slots, remnants of stone walls, wells, gullies and pits. A rare double burial, containing two inhumations, was also found. The eastern edge of the Lincoln-York Roman road and ditch was revealed, aligned with the present High Street. Numerous artefacts were recovered including Roman glass, games counters, oil lamps, worked bone, quern stones, brooches and other copper objects. ESY1049 Excavation at The A gravel road representing an access route to the Friary Y Subscription immediately overlay and sealed the Roman remains. These Rooms, High Street, consisted of a construction trench and a possible wall Doncaster foundation, along with the remains of a surface and several post holes or small pits. The finds included a complete hobnailed boot, four intaglios, a number of coins and brooches and a bronze scalpel handle. These dated the features to the mid-late 2nd century. The substantial medieval road was

probably of 12th century date. Over this road was constructed an open fronted building, possibly during the 13th/14th centuries. This was extended to contain a well in the 15th century and further modified into the 16th. Another building, containing a malting oven, was identified with a later medieval date. A number of other pits and areas of disturbance were also recorded. Evidence of industrial activity was also found on the site in the form of cattle horn cores, suggesting a Horner’s workshop, together with a cess pit and soak-away perhaps dating to the early 12th century. ESY1050 37-45 Printing An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ASWYAS in Y Office Street, 2002 in response to the proposed demolition and Doncaster redevelopment of 37 - 45 Printing Office Street, although extensive cellaring restricted evaluation to a single open area to the rear of the demolished properties. Pottery was recovered ranging in date from the 12th to the 18th centuries. The remains of two stone walls and a dressed stone post were also discovered. These features are thought to be post- medieval in date. ESY1051 High Street 1960 Observations were made by Doncaster Museum's Keeper of Y Antiquities during the cutting of a service trench along the south-west side of High Street, running from the corner of St Sepulchre Gate to the corner of Hallgate and Waterdale. A section of two hard-packed gravel surfaces was recorded, presumably the remains of the Roman road. A large quantity of Roman pottery was also recovered. ESY1052 Hallgate Kiln, A medieval pottery kiln was discovered to the northeast of Hall Y Bradford Row Gate during excavations in 1964 and 1965, prior to the 1964-5 construction of the Bradford Row shopping centre. The kiln, defined as probably being a Type 2A two-flued, up draught kiln, was found with three pits all containing pottery wasters of cooking pots, bowls, jugs and pipkins. The kiln was in production from the late 12th century to the late 13th or early 14th century. ESY1368 Watching brief Watching brief undertaken during demolition of buildings at 8- Y conducted during 9 Hall Gate, Doncaster. The buildings, to the rear of the demolition of frontage, consist of a brick gabled building and a 20th century buildings at 8-9 Hall extension.

ESY1478 Evaluations at Trial trenching identified a probable Roman ditch, and 19th- Y Waterdale, 20th century military practice trenches. It was also established Doncaster that archaeological deposits were located at variable heights across the site, suggesting modern landscaping. Further evaluation revealed at least two Roman cremation burials were recorded, along with a number of other, apparently unstratified Roman finds. Further remains of the 19th-20th century practice trenches were also recorded. ESY1479 Excavations at Excavations were undertaken at Waterdale ahead of Y Waterdale, redevelopment in 2010/11. A cremation cemetery of 1st-2nd Doncaster century date, containing 20-30 individuals was recorded, along with a small number of inhumations of 3rd/4th century date.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or buffer. There are no Listed Buildings or Scheduled Monuments within the site or buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and part of the buffer as part of a planned social housing estate, described as infill development dating to 1966-1988 with no legibility of earlier landscapes. Other character areas within the buffer include further social housing estate developments, earlier terraced housing, semi-detached housing, a school and allotments. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or buffer. The site is currently occupied by ta social club. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts the site as lying within a network of rectangular enclosures to the north of Mexborough. By 1957, the Northgate Working Men’s Club & Institute had been built within the site. It was initially T-shaped in plan, extended by 1966 into a larger sub-rectangular structure. By 1980 the structure had extended further to take on its current form. Within the buffer, the area was shown as fields on the 1854 map, with housing development at the southern end by 1892. Housing development was shown to the east by 1903, and by 1957 suburban development had taken place throughout the buffer. Survival: The development of the social club, including any cellars and below ground services, will have disturbed below- ground deposits within its footprint. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be negligible. The standing buildings are of mid- to late 20th-century date and of no architectural interest. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is unlikely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded in 1946 to the southwest of the site, currently a playing field. Very faint earthworks are still visible in this area on Lidar data. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a playing field first depicted in 1931, with no legibility of the former strip field landscape. Sandford Road to the west formerly marked the eastern edge of settlement at Balby. Further character zones within the buffer include drained wetland, military barracks, a traveller community site, a sewage works, sports grounds, an area of heavy metal trades and other works which began to industrialise in the later 19th century, a mixture of housing types including terraces, semi-detached and planned social housing, allotment gardens, regenerated scrubland, a church, and suburban commercial core. The most recent imagery of the site (2009) shows it as a rectangular plot of land, bounded by Sandford Road to the west and playing fields to the south. The southeast half of the site is occupied by parking areas and a light modern shed or building, whilst the northwest half is grassed, subdivided by tall hedges, and contains a brick building, possibly a club house. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as two narrow fields, running southeast from Back Lane (now Sandford Lane). Only one field was shown on the 1892 map. The site remained unchanged until 1939, when the widening of Sandford Road formed the current western boundary. By 1960, the site had been divided into three, a larger southeast area and two smaller plots to the northwest, with a building, probably a house, in the northwest plot. This was labelled 'Tuby' in 1960 and Mariton Villa in 1977. A lane ran along the northern edge of the site. By 1994, a larger building was shown in the southeast plot. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the area to the south, east and northeast as fields, with settlement in the historic core of Balby to the west of Back Lane and in the northwest part of the buffer. This included St John's Church. By 1903, new housing, mainly terraces, was shown to the northwest and west, with further construction, including in the northeast part of the buffer by 1930. A confectionery works was shown to the north of the site at that date, and a club was shown to the immediate west of the site, with playing fields to the south and allotment gardens to the east. By 1939, the buildings to the east of Sandford Road had been cleared and the road widened. In 1961, housing was shown to the south of the playing fields, with allotment gardens to the north and east of the site. A caravan park was shown to the immediate southeast of the site in 1994. Survival: The southeast side of the site is a car park, with a modern shed building that is unlikely to have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance. The northwest side contains a house, possibly on a raised platform, and garden areas. With the exception of the footprint of the building, the potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site in much the same layout as in 1992. The southeast half is mainly a car parking area (labelled 'mobile home park' on the modern OS mapping) and a light modern shed, possibly facilities for the mobile home park. The northeast half is divided into two plots by manicured hedges, though the central plot is open to the road. The northeast plot contains a brick-built building, possibly the house shown in 1961. The 2015 image is obscured by clouds, though Street View images from this date show the house as a one and a half storey brick structure of fairly modern appearance. The Lidar data shows the location of the building in the car park, and a mound or platform adjacent to the northwest boundary, possibly indicating the house was built on a platform, or that it has been demolished, as this mound is not shown on the aerial photographs.

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

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

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site or the buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the site as being within the extent of a 20th century spoil heap. Extensive post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks have been recorded to the north of the site, and fragmentary traces of the same to the south of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a spoil heap, associated with the Yorkshire Main Colliery at New Edlington. The pit shaft was sunk in 1909 and the spoil heap presumably started accumulating at about this time. Prior to the spoil heap, the area was agricultural, enclosed by a parliamentary award, probably in the mid-18th century, from Warmsworth Common. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Character areas within the buffer zone include enclosed land, agglomerated fields, a business park and houses, amongst others. The site is an irregular parcel of land, located at the north-eastern end of New Edlington. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown on the 1854 map as a number of strip fields. Broom House Lane to the south, and Lord’s Head Lane to the west, were already extant at this time. By 1930 all of the field boundaries within and around the site had been removed, and the site was located within a triangular parcel of land bounded by the two lanes mentioned above, and a newly created line of the Dearne Valley Railway. Numerous tracks and sidings of the mineral railway associated with Yorkshire Main Colliery, which was located to the west of the site, ran through the site at this time. A small engine house was located at the eastern end of the site and a spoil heap was marked adjacent to Broom House Lane. By 1956 the railways tracks were still present within the site, and the reminder of the site was all marked as a slag heap. The railways tracks which ran through the site had been removed by 1994, although the spoil heaps were still present. The majority of the site was part of strip fields in 1854, labelled Wadsworth Common to the east. Aldam Plantation was present to the southeast of the site, with a small limestone quarry to the west. By 1930 many of the strip fields around the site had been removed. Yorkshire Main Colliery had been established to the west of the site and a sewage works had been built to the north of the site. A miner’s welfare ground had been created to the west of the site, which included a cricket and football pitch. The spoil heap which was present within the site had spread significantly to the south by 1966. By 1994 the colliery had been removed and a small industrial estate had been built to the south of its location, although much of the area which the colliery occupied was empty at this time. Survival: The site was in agricultural use from the mid-18th century onwards, and by 1930 contained numerous sidings and railways tracks associated with the Yorkshire Main Colliery. A spoil heap was gradually created within the site, shown as occupying the entire site and beyond on the 1956 map. The construction of the railway track is likely to have caused some minimal below-ground impact. The weight of the large spoil heaps on the site, and their eventual clearance of them with heavy machinery, the tracks of which can be identified within aerial photographs, is likely to have caused moderate to severe damage to any buried archaeological remains on the site. As such, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site 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: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that the spoil heaps within the site had been removed by 2002, and regeneration of the land had begun around the site. Within the site itself the land had not been regenerated, and in 2009 it remained as what appears to be un-vegetated, with clear machine tracks traversing across the site. Aerial photographs from 2015 are obscured by heavy cloud cover, hence the recent condition of the site is unknown. The site boundary is irregular and is formed by the separation of reclaimed land that lies outside of the site boundary, and unreclaimed land, which comprises the site. There is no available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Within the buffer, six monuments and two events have been recorded. The monuments include a post-medieval corn mill to the east of the site, and the edge of an area of Iron Age to Roman field systems and settlement at the west edge of the buffer. The remainder of the monuments are in the southern part of the buffer and comprise a timber-framed barn and dovecot, the medieval and later St Laurence’s Church, the site of Adwick Hall and a field containing possible remains of a shrunken medieval village. The two events relate to the recording of the corn mill during restoration works. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. Three listed buildings are within the buffer, the grade II* listed church of St Laurence and a grade II listed cholera monument within the church, and the grade II listed corn mill to the east. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records plough- levelled ridge and furrow (possibly medieval rather than post-medieval) within the northern half of the site and continuing into the buffer, on land now developed. Further ridge and furrow remains are located at the southwest of the buffer zone, and an Iron Age to Roman ditch was recorded in the western part, again in an area that has since been developed. Historic Environment Characterisation records the southern part of the site as part of an area of modern villas/residential housing, with the northern edge being part of a modern private housing estate. Historic landfill data records a wide strip of infilled ground at Mill Lane in the eastern part of the buffer, along the route of the railway. The site is currently a vacant plot of land between developed plots, fronting onto Fern Lane. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map shows the majority of the site as two building plots within a strip of development to the north of Mill Lane. The eastern plot was occupied by a U-shaped range of buildings arranged around the south, east and north sides of a yard. The western plot contained one larger building in the middle of the plot and a building at the rear that appeared to be an extension of the U-shaped range. This layout may indicate a farmhouse to the west with barns and outbuildings to the east. This area was at the north end of the developed part of the village. The northern edge of the site was part of a field to the north. The boundary between the buildings and the field was marked as a possible parish boundary, perhaps defining a detached part of another parish. The 1930 map showed the building on the street frontage as divided into two houses. All the structures apart from these two houses were demolished between 1955 and 1961, their location being shown as vacant ground. The two houses had been demolished by 1982, when there were also no buildings shown to the east along Mill Lane. The boundary between the former houses and the field was still shown, with the current northern site boundary only being established between 1982 and 2002, when housing was built within the fields to the north. Within the buffer, the 1851 map shows the core of the village of Adwick le Street to the south of the site, with only a few buildings in a group to the east of the site being to the north of Mill Lane. Adwick corn mill was shown to the east, and the area to the north and west was fields reminiscent of enclosure from medieval open field. Red House Lane was shown in the western part of the buffer. Adwick Hall in the southern part of the buffer had been demolished by 1892. Several buildings, including a Methodist Chapel, had been built along Mill Lane to the west of the site by 1930. Ribbon development along Tenter Balk Lane was shown at the southwest side of the buffer in 1961, and some buildings in the village centre had been demolished and redeveloped, with further development by 1981. Housing had extended north along Red House Lane by that date, and most of the field boundaries in the area to the north of Mill Lane had been removed to create a larger field.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Survival: The site was occupied by buildings, possibly a farmhouse and outbuildings, in the mid-19th century, with these structures demolished in the 20th century. This is likely to have disturbed sub-surface deposits within the site; however, remains of footings and floor levels associated with the buildings may survive in good condition. Further investigations: Further investigations may be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with the former buildings on the site could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance, depending on their date of construction and extent of preservation.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photographs show the site as vacant ground, with hardcore or dumped material at the southeast side, possibly derived from the demolition of the houses or from the construction of new buildings to the east. The former northern boundary of the old building plots was visible within the site as either a bank or hedging, with some trees in the area to the north. This boundary was no longer visible by 2003, when the trees had been cleared and the whole site was under rough grass. There were no further changes by 2015, apart from the regeneration of scrub and trees along the northern side of the site. Lidar data shows the site as uneven ground, though no clear earthwork features relating to former buildings can be identified. The irregularity of the earthworks may indicate the dumping of rubble during the demolition of the buildings. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any events or monuments within the site, though one of the monuments recorded in the buffer, the location of the demolished 17th-century Rock House, is poorly located and should be within the site. One findspot, two monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer. A leaf shaped arrowhead was located near Enfield House. Within the north part of the buffer is the Old Vicarage, an 18th-century building which possibly incorporates an older structure. In the south of the buffer, building recording was carried out on the 19th-century farm buildings of Manor Farm, which is also a monument. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. One grade II* listed building, the Church of St Winifred, is located just inside the eastern edge of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records one area of post medieval ridge and furrow in the west of the buffer. Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site and a strip of the northern part of the buffer as within an area of modern detached housing dating from 1967-1981. There is no legibility of the former piecemeal enclosure landscape. Directly north of the site are a group of 18th/19th century vernacular cottages and villas which retain earlier property boundaries, and beyond this, an area of modern detached housing. Directly south of the site is an area of modern residential housing and beyond this lies the historic core of Stainton, formed of a farm complex dating to the late 17th-century, surrounded by medieval settlement remains. The northeast part of the buffer is an area of irregularly-shaped fields around Stainton Little Wood, possibly created through forest clearance, though boundary loss has led to a loss of legibility of the former landscape. To the south and west is an area of surveyed enclosure. At the far southern edge of the buffer is Maltby Colliery spoil heap. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows buildings within the eastern half of the site, possibly a farm and outbuildings, with a rectangular structure on the southern frontage (Stainton Lane) and a linear range and U-shaped complex leading off Holme Hall Lane on the eastern side. A pump was shown within a yard towards the southeast corner. The western half of the site comprised two small garden or orchard plots along Stainton Lane and a larger field behind, which extended out of the site to the west. The 1892 map showed the complex as Rock House, which may have been the building fronting onto Stainton Lane, with the rear ranges being outbuildings. By 1930, an open-sided building was shown within the field at the western side of the site, and some infilling of the outbuildings to the north was depicted. The open-sided building had been removed by 1962. By 1981, the Rock House complex had been demolished and two new square buildings, labelled Well House, were shown in the northeast part of the site, and the western site boundary had been created. This layout remained unchanged in 1994. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the historic core of Stainton as dispersed small groups of buildings to the north and east of the site, set within a complex of lanes. The Ruddle Dike ran through the buffer, and the remainder of the area was fields with sinuous boundaries suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. A Methodist Chapel was shown to the northeast of the site by 1892. Small numbers of new houses and a school were shown in 1962, with further housing built to the north and south of the site by 1981, though the area remains rural in character. Survival: Modern buildings occupy the eastern part of the site, and are likely to have removed or disturbed any remains of the Rock House outbuildings within their footprint. Buried remains of the building shown in 1854 along the southern boundary (possibly Rock House itself, recorded as a 17th-century building on the SMR) may have survived with relatively little disturbance. No substantial disturbance has been recorded within the western part of the site, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology in this area is considered to be
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with the 17th-century Rock House could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 1999 show the modern buildings on the eastern side of the site, with access from the south from Stainton Lane and from the east from Holme Hall Lane. The western side of the site comprises a lawn bounded by trees and hedgerow. There is no available LiDAR data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 1999, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Earthwork ridge and furrow was recorded in 1946 at the very southern edge of the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a school, first depicted in 1892 and more lately reused by a conservation organisation. Further character zones within the buffer include military barracks, a traveller community site, playing fields, a, a mixture of terraced and semi-detached housing, allotment gardens, regenerated scrubland, another school, a church, and suburban commercial core. The most recent imagery (2015) shows the site as occupied by a 19th-century school building, with a small area of tarmac surfacing to the east. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the site as a small field to the west of the Swan Inn, at the junction of Balby Road and Back Lane. The school was shown by 1892, as a roughly U-shaped building set back from the Back Lane and Balby Road frontage. It sat within land divided into two plots, possibly suggesting separate girls' and boys' schools, with a narrow building to the southeast, probably a privy block, likewise crossing the two plots of land. By 1930, the land division was only shown to the front of the school, with the area to the rear being a single plot. The current western site boundary was formed by 1938, when Sandford Road was widened. By 1961, the toilet block to the rear was no longer shown, and the school building had been slightly extended. By 1977, the school was shown as an 'immigrants teaching centre', and an electricity sub-station was shown in the southeast corner. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the area to the east and south of the site as fields, nurseries to the northwest, and settlement concentrated to the southeast of the site in the historic core of Balby. A National School was shown within the western part of the buffer, behind St John's Church. By 1892, new terraced housing had been built in the northeast, west and southwest parts of the buffer, with further housing to the east by 1903. By 1930 most of the buffer apart from the area to the southeast was occupied by terraced housing. To the southeast were allotment gardens and a confectionery works. The 1938 map showed that many of the buildings to the south of the site had been demolished for the widening of Sandford Road. By 1961, some new buildings were shown to the south of the school, with allotment gardens to the southeast. The layout was largely unchanged by 1992. Survival: The construction of the school is likely to have caused significant sub-surface disturbance, and the potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be negligible to low. The standing buildings are of later 19th-century date, and may constitute a heritage asset in their own right. Further investigations: No further investigations associated with buried archaeology are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. An assessment of the significance of the standing school buildings would assist is assessing the site’s capacity for housing development. Significance: The school buildings are of late 19th century date, and are likely to be considered of Local heritage significance.
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 school building covering the majority of the site, with a small tarmac area to the southwest, used for car parking in 2002 but probably formerly the playground. No changes were shown within the site from the aerial views, but parking was not shown after 2002, and the 2015 Street View imagery shows the school as boarded up. The buildings are single storey to the Balby Road frontage, with the rear range being two storey, as the ground slopes downwards. They are brick built, with mainly pitched roofs and projecting brick gables. They are in a typical late 19th-century style, with stone sills and lintels, and the gable-end windows featuring arched detailing. Lidar data does not show any features other than the school building. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2015. Google Street View 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, the location of Rossington Main Colliery, sunk in 1912. It began operating in 1916 and closed in 2003. One event is recorded within the north and northwest parts of the buffer zone, fieldwalking and geophysical survey undertaken along the route of a new road, which identified field boundaries and enclosures of probable Iron Age or Roman date, and two flint artefacts. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded the site of Rossington Main Colliery within the site and buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records five character zones within the site, most associated with Rossington Main Colliery. The southwest and east central areas are recorded as the site of the pit-head buildings and infrastructure, with spoil heaps to the south, east and north. The southeast edge is characterised as ancient woodland, whilst the northern tip is within a large area of agglomerated fields that covers the north and west sides of the buffer. Further character zones within the buffer comprise Bankwood Industrial Estate and allotment gardens to the northeast, the planned colliery village of New Rossington to the east, and further agglomerated fields to the southwest. Historic Landfill data records two areas of tipping within the site, one within the southern side of the site and relating to former slurry ponds for the mine, and one covering the northern tip of the site, called Bankwood Allotments. Within the eastern part of the buffer are two more tip sites, a Coal Board tip within Holmes Carr Great Wood and the Rossington Dumpit Site. The most recent clear imagery of the site (2012) shows colliery spoil across the northeast and southern parts of the site, with the footings of former buildings visible in the northwest area, a former railway line and Rossington Drain running through the centre of the site, and rough grass, probably also over colliery spoil, at the northern tip. The western boundary of the site is formed by the canalised route of the River Torne, and the eastern boundary by a drainage ditch. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts the western half and southeast end of the site as part of regular enclosures within an area called Holmes Carr. The River Torne ran along the western boundary in a canalised route, and Rossington Drain ran through the centre of the site on a roughly north-south alignment. The northeast part of the site was within Pheasant Bank wood, with part of Holmes Carr Great Wood extending into the southeast part of the site. West End Lane crossed the eastern part of the site, up to Rossington Drain. By 1930, Rossington Main Colliery had been constructed within the central part of the site, including shafts, tanks and an engine house and cooling tower, with extensive railway sidings to the east, associated with a mineral railway that ran alongside and east of the Rossington Drain. Railway lines from the pit head buildings ran through the northern part of the site, and spoil had been dumped on the southwest part of the site. Pheasant Bank was shown as rough pasture and scrub at that date, whilst the southeast part of the site was still fields. By 1948, works buildings associated with the colliery were shown at the southern end of Pheasant Bank, north of West End Lane. The pit head buildings were more expansive by 1962, with further railway lines connecting them to the mineral railway. The buildings in Pheasant Bank Wood were not labelled, but may have included baths. Spoil tipping had extended into the southeast part of the site by that date. By 1973, the northwest part of the site was covered with new buildings, including a coal carbonisation plan with numerous tanks and a gasholder. The former Pheasant Bank had a railway line running into it and linear embankments across the eastern side, and a conveyor and large 'bunker' at the western side. Further conveyors and hoppers were shown in the southeast part of the site, and a slurry pond was located to the south of the pit-head buildings. The coal carbonisation plant had been removed by 1989. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Holmes Carr Great Wood extending to the southeast and Low Plantation to the northwest. The remaining area was fields, all appearing to be regular enclosures within an area
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
of former wetland, possibly drained and enclosed as part of Vermuyden's 17th-century drainage scheme. The area to the northwest of the site was called Low Flanders, and the whole area formed part of Potteric Carr. By 1930, housing at New Rossington colliery village had extended into the eastern edge of the buffer, and the former Low Plantation, now labelled Blackwood Plantation, was shown as rough pasture and scrub. The 1956 map showed further housing to the east of Pheasant Bank and a sewage works in the northeast part of the buffer, with the colliery spoil heaps expanding to the south of the site. By 1989, an industrial estate had begun to develop to the east of Pheasant Bank and slurry ponds were shown to the southeast of the site. Survival: The entire site has been covered by either spoil heaps or colliery buildings, with slurry ponds excavated in the southern area, now infilled. Whilst remains of some of the colliery infrastructure may survive, the potential for the survival of earlier buried archaeological remains within the site is considered to be low to negligible. Any remains preserved below the spoil heaps may have been compressed by the weight of the spoil and contaminated, and could have been disturbed if topsoil was stripped prior to tipping. 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 aerial photograph shows the northern part of the site as spoil heaps, to either side of Rossington Drain. The buildings at the south end of Pheasant Bank were still shown, with car parking to the rear. Pit-head structures were still shown in the central west part of the site, including the headstocks and the former engine house and chimney, with some spoil conveyors leading into the southeast part of the site. The southeast and southwest areas were also spoil heaps. By 2007, the pit head buildings mainly still survived, but these had been demolished by 2008. The spoil heaps to the northeast and west may have been removed by that date, with the footprint of some of the carbonisation plant buildings visible. The possible baths north of West End Lane had been demolished. Some plant was shown in the southeast part of the site in 2012, possibly associated with regrading or reclamation of the spoil heaps. The 2015 image is very obscure due to clouds and poor resolution, but shows some activity within the northwest part of the site, including a new road layout and roundabout, and possible construction works. There is no Lidar data for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012 & 2015. OS/89258 0037 11-Jun-1989.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site, comprising four trial trenches undertaken in 2012, which recorded ridge and furrow earthworks and a trackway. Fifteen further records are present within the buffer zone. These comprise Roman to post-medieval finds, although predominantly medieval and post-medieval, and are mostly located to the south and east of the site. Ten events are recorded within the buffer zone. Immediately to the east of the site, investigation revealed an early V-shaped ditch, two pits, a gully and post hole beneath the historic farmyard. The other events are all located to the east or south of the site, and mostly related to medieval and post medieval ridge and furrow earthworks. A number of events relate to investigations at Barnburgh Hall, which recorded activity related with the late medieval construction of the hall and earlier Romano-British activity. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer zone, at the very eastern edge; the Dovecote at Barnburgh Hall, which is also grade II* listed. Twelve further listed buildings exist within the buffer zone. Immediately outside the eastern site boundary is a grade II listed structure. The grade I listed Church of St Peter is located to the south of the site. The remaining structures are all grade II listed, and are located to the south or east of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records extensive post-medieval ridge and furrow earthworks within the buffer zone, to the immediate northwest of the site and also to the south of the site. At the southern end of the buffer, medieval to post-medieval terraced ground is recorded. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as vernacular cottages. The road pattern throughout this area is probably medieval in origin. Many 17th- to 19th-century farms and houses survive and it likely that at least some of the thin semi-regular plots in which they stand are of an older origin. The area retains significant legibility of historic village form. The majority of the buffer zone comprises modern housing with very little and highly fragmented legibility of the earlier enclosed landscape. To the northwest of the buffer zone is enclosed land, the internal boundaries of which probably date to the 1822 Parliamentary Enclosure Award. Within this character area is also partial legibility of its earlier open type, comprising curving boundaries surrounding parts of the earlier open fields. The site currently comprises a single plot of land. Google Street View imagery suggests that this site was under development in October 2015. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site is shown as part of a single field on the 1855 OS map. Two small buildings are evident on the site by 1892, one in the north-eastern corner of the site, and one in the south-eastern corner. By 1930 a third building had been built on the site, slightly larger than the first two and aligned approximately northwest to southeast. By the 1980s, the building in the north-eastern corner was no longer present on the site, although the larger building in the centre of the site, and the smaller one in the south-eastern corner were still present on the 1988 map. Within the buffer, the area to the east of the site was well developed by 1855, being the historic core of Barnbrough. To the west of the site, the area within the buffer zone comprises mostly fields, and a Wesleyan Chapel is present immediately to the west of the site, on Barnbrough Lane. St Peter’s Church is immediately to the south of the site and the structures of Plane Tree Farm, one of which is listed, butts up to the eastern boundary of the site. By 1977, substantial housing had been developed to the southwest of the site. Survival: The site was shown as under development in 2015, with archaeological evaluation undertaken in 2012 prior to the redevelopment. This recorded ridge and furrow earthworks and a trackway. Archaeological mitigation has been completed at this site and there is no further potential for the survival of buried archaeology.

Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required in association with any further development proposals for this site. Significance: Negligible.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 show the site as recently cleared. The building at the southern end was still present, although the building in the centre of the site had been demolished by this time, with the footprint still visible. By 2008, the remaining building on the site, at the southern end, had been cleared. Aerial photographs from 2015 are obscured by cloud cover, but Google Street View images show the site to have been developed with housing by October 2015, which appears to have been almost complete by this time. There is no available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth Images 2003, 2003, 2008, 2009. Google Street View 2015.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site. Within the buffer zone one findspot of a Roman coin is recorded, located to the southeast of the site. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records the cropmark of an undated ditch within the buffer zone, to the east of the site. Twentieth century air raid shelters have been recorded within the buffer zone, to the west of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as terraced housing, built as ribbon development along the road from Doncaster to Bentley from the late nineteenth into the early years of the twentieth century. There is no legibility of the earlier Parliamentary Enclosure of former open fields. The majority of the buffer zone is also characterised with a mixture of housing types, with a small area of enclosed land to the east. The site is currently occupied by buildings arranged in a rectangular U-shape, with a courtyard space in the centre. Earlston Drive is at the immediate north of the site, with a small alleyway to the immediate west. To the east is a residential property. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1851 map, the site is located within a field. To the east of the site, Bentley Road is extant, although no buildings are present on it. By 1892 development had occurred along Bentley Road, and the site was part of Jubilee Villa, with a building at the western end of the site. The ‘villa’ is located to the east of the site and fronts onto Bentley Road, and the building located within the site appears to be an outbuilding. By 1906 two further buildings had been constructed within the site, and the U-shape arrangement of buildings visible on the site today is recognisable, with an open space in the centre. An extension is apparent on the building at the south end of the site by 1960, and the building at the western end of the site has also been extended, depicted as glass. No change is apparent on the site since. Within the buffer zone, in 1851 the area is little developed and comprised mainly fields. Bentley Road exists to the east of the site, although no buildings were located on it. A railways line was present at the very eastern end of the buffer zone. The fields to the north-west of the site are labelled West Field and Lady Putts Bridge is located to the south-west. A bone crushing mill was marked at the southern end of the buffer zone within a small area of development on the northern fringes on Doncaster town centre. By 1892 development had begun on Bentley Road to both the north and south of the site with what appears to be terraced housing, generally labelled as Bentley Rise. Allotment gardens had been established to the north-west of the site. By 1904 a rope walk was marked to the south of the site, and the bone crushing mill was named Willow Bridge Mill. By 1906 a tramway had been constructed long Bentley Road, although this was not shown by 1930. Allotment gardens had been created to the immediate west of the site by 1930, and a school and further houses had been built to the north- west. A mineral railway had been constructed at the south-western end of the site by 1930 and further houses had also been constructed within the south-eastern end of the buffer zone. By 1948 Earlston Road had been constructed, but no houses had yet been built along it; by 1955 the houses were developed. By this time houses are also present to the north-west, over the previous allotment gardens. By 1960 a rugby ground had been built to the south-west of the site. Survival: Development on the site had occurred by 1892, with the building which currently stands at the western end of the site. By 1906 the other buildings, at the north and south ends of the site, had been constructed. These appear likely to be outbuildings, and may not have caused substantial sub-surface disturbance. The potential for survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate to low. The buildings, of later
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
19th- and early 20th-century date, may be of some historic interest. Further investigations: The function of the buildings within the site is unclear; it is possible that they may be outbuildings originally associated with ‘Jubilee Villa’. Google Street View images shows the buildings to be constructed out of red brick, with the pre 1892 building of two storeys, with a wide opening onto Earlston Drive, probably for a cart. The arrangement of the buildings on the site, in a U-shape with an open centre, suggests it may be a yard, with associated functional buildings around the edge, such as a garages or workshops. Further investigation may be required into these surviving buildings, if the site is allocated for development. Significance: Unknown. The standing buildings may be considered to be of Local heritage significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century photographs show the site to be unchanged from the 1992 OS map, with a rectangular U- shape arrangement of buildings, with an open space in the centre.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one event within the site, which extends into the buffer zone. The event relates to archaeological trial trenching and excavation at Wellgate, which revealed archaeological remains dating from the Roman period onwards. The earliest activity comprised a substantial cut feature set with a number of wooden structures including a fence, stake alignment and track. The only dating evidence was from Roman pottery dating to the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. There was also medieval activity dating to the 11th and 12th centuries. Six monuments and 21 findspots are recorded within the buffer zone; however, 14 of the findspots are poorly located prehistoric flint and bone artefacts and Iron Age to Roman pottery and a brooch recorded as being found at Cadeby Cliff, which is well outside the buffer and north of the River Don. To the northeast of the site, a small assemblage of ten flints of uncertain prehistoric date were recovered during excavations at Wellgate, which also found remains of probable 6th-century activity. A medieval well (grade II listed) is also recorded in this area. A number of records relate to the medieval castle at Conisbrough (also a SM) and the church of St Peter (grade I listed), to the northeast of the site. The church contains early medieval sculptures, chest tombs and a burial. To the south of the site is a timber-framed building possibly of medieval date but more likely to be post-medieval. In addition to the Wellgate investigations, six further events are recorded in the eastern part of the buffer, five associated with investigations of various areas and features at Conisbrough Castle and one at Low Road which did not identify any features of archaeological interest. There are no listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments within the site. One Scheduled Monument extends just into the northeast edge of the buffer zone, the medieval Conisbrough Castle. There are five listed buildings within the buffer zone, all within the eastern half. In addition to the grade I listed medieval church of St Peter and the grade II listed medieval well, mentioned above, the remaining buildings are all grade II listed and comprise the Old Hall Restaurant (early to mid-18th century), the Priory (early to mid-19th century), and the Old Priory (c.1800). The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or buffer zone. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the area of the buffer as a planned estate (social housing), with fragmentary legibility of the medieval landscape of the town. The majority of the buffer contains areas characterised by a variety of housing types and associated playing fields and allotments, with very limited and fragmentary evidence of earlier landscape forms. The site was shown as a vacant plot of rough grass in 2011, but appears to have been developed with a row of houses by 2015. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: A building was shown within the site on the 1854 OS map, fronting onto a lane leading back from Church Street. This was shown as an L-shaped building in 1892 and 1902. The building was shown in 1948, but by 1958, a smaller rectangular building was shown at the western end of the site in 1958, when the rest of the site appeared to be gardens or yard areas. By 1971, a large building comprising seven flats had been constructed within the site as part of the Wellgate estate, and this remained unchanged by 1994. Within the buffer zone, the 1854 OS map showed the historic core of settlement at Conisbrough to the southeast of the site, and gardens and crofts to the west and south, with fields to the west of Lady's Lane, later Elm Green Lane. Further buildings were shown to the north of the site. Further housing had been built to the southwest by 1930. By 1956, a housing estate was under development to the northwest of Elm Green Lane, and Montague Cottage was shown to the immediate east of the site. The Wellgate estate of blocks of low-rise flats, had been
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 6 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
built around the site by 1971.
Survival: The site was developed with flats by 1971, which is likely to have truncated sub-surface deposits. It was later covered by the Wellgate archaeological mitigation area, and has been developed since 2011. The potential for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be negligible. Further investigations: No archaeological investigations are likely to be required if further development is planned at the site. Significance: Following archaeological mitigation, the significance of any archaeological remains surviving at the site is likely to be negligible.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial imagery shows the block of low-rise flats within the site, as depicted on maps from 1971 onwards. By 2007, the flats had been demolished and the site was shown as vacant, with new development depicted to the north of the site. In 2008 and 2009, the site was shown as vacant with rough grass coverage. By 2015, a row of houses was shown within the site. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments, findspots or events within the site or buffer zone. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded two military buildings within the site in 1948, both of which extended south into the buffer zone. Further military buildings were recorded in the area to the south, in an area since developed with housing. Historic Environment Characterisation data records the present character of the site as an industrial estate first depicted in 1972, with no legibility of the former character of surveyed enclosure or probable open field. Further character areas within the buffer comprise early 20th-century terraced houses and allotments, mid-20th-century semi-detached housing, playing fields and industrial estate, and a modern planned social housing estate and an area of regenerated scrubland between three disused stretches of railway. The site is currently occupied by two single-storey derelict works or warehouse buildings. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 to 1930 OS maps depicted the site as part of a field within an area known as West Field. In 1956, a group of rectangular buildings, possibly barracks or stores, had been built within and to the southeast of the site, off Queen's Drive. These were identified as military buildings from aerial photographs (Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project). The military buildings had been demolished by 1960, when the site was shown as vacant, with an access road leading into it from Queen's Court. By 1981, the site contained two factory buildings. The 1854 to 1906 OS maps depicted the buffer zone as fields within the West Field and Street Croft areas, with Watch House Lane to the north of the site on a northeast-southwest alignment. By 1930, a three-way mineral railway junction had been established in the southwest part of the buffer, and some of the fields had become allotment gardens. Housing was extending into the northeast part of the buffer and along Watch House Lane at the western edge. By 1948, four buildings were shown within the field containing the site, but northwest of the site itself, possibly military buildings. Queen's Drive had been laid out by that date. Further buildings had been built within the field by 1956, by which date housing around the northwest, south and southwest edges of the buffer had been expanded, along with large works buildings at the western edge. By 1960, the military buildings had mainly been demolished, and a council yard was shown to the northwest of the site. Works buildings to the southeast of the site may have been converted from the military structures. Semi-detached and detached housing was shown to the immediate east of the site. The 1980 OS map showed works buildings to the southwest of the site, the depot to the north, and a new housing estate to the south and southeast. Survival: The site has been occupied by military structures and later works buildings. The extent of disturbance caused by the construction of these buildings is unclear, as they may not have substantial foundations, however, there is likely to have been some associated truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains within the site is considered to be low. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Negligible.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer zone, the post-medieval Campsall Chantry Chapel, located to the northwest of the site. One event is recorded within the southern area of the buffer zone and extending out to the east, relating to a watching brief. No archaeological features or finds were recorded within the buffer zone; the only recorded feature was a stone-lined drain crossing an 18th century track, found to the east of the buffer. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings recorded within the site. Five grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone, all located to the north of the site. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, post-medieval ridge and furrow are recorded to the immediate south of the site. Medieval earthworks are also recorded within the buffer zone, to the northwest of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as vernacular cottages within Campsall historic core. The historic core of the village appears to be mostly of 18th to 19th century fabric, although the vicarage began its life as a 15th century manor house. The large Norman church, a market charter of 1293 (along with surviving cross fragments) and the planned layout indicate a medieval settlement of some status. There is uncertain legibility of earlier historic character landscapes. Further character types within the buffer zone include agglomerated fields, private parkland and various housing types. The majority of the site is occupied by farm buildings, known as Poplar Farm. The site is located at the southern end of Campsall, off Sutton Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: Buildings are depicted on the site on the 1854 map at the northern and western sides of the site, with the east of the site being a small paddock or enclosure. By 1893, the whole of the site was part of the farm complex, with the northern barn extended to the east and a circular feature to the south of it, possibly a horse gin. Further outbuildings were shown along the eastern side of the site by 1907, and by 1932 a large open-sided building had been built in the southeast corner of the site. By 1960 the collection of buildings is labelled Poplar Farm. By 1977, the southeast barn had been removed and a new square building constructed on its site. There was no evident change on the 1990 map. Within the buffer zone, the area surrounding the site was well-developed to the north with the settlement of Campsall. To the immediate south of the site was a field. To the immediate east was a small field with trees, and further to the east were two plantations, named Little Moor and Beevers, and at the extreme edge of the buffer zone was Campsall Park, with a large lake. To the immediate west of the site was a small area of trees, with fields and allotments further to the west. By 1893 a school had been built within the field to the south of the site, and a pinfold was marked to the immediate east of the site. The plantations to the east had merged into one, named Beevers Plantation, and had expanded to the north. By 1948 development had started to the west of the site, off Sutton Road, which by 1966 had spread further west along Bone Lane. By 1975 Beevers Plantation had been cleared. Survival: Several buildings depicted at the western end the site by 1854 are still extant today. These buildings may be of historic interest. The succession of buildings on the site may have caused some below-ground truncation, and as such, the potential for the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeological remains of an earlier date is considered to be low to moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. An
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
assessment of the standing buildings within the site would assist in ascertaining their historic significance and the site’s capacity for housing development. Significance: The historic buildings within the site may be considered as being of Local archaeological significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 2002 show little change on the site from the 1994 map, with buildings covering the majority of the site. Street View shows that some of the barns along the northern edge of the site are stone-built and possibly of early 19th-century or earlier date. The barns along the eastern side of the site generally appear to be more recent. The farmhouse is rendered, with modern inserted windows and its historic significance is unclear. There is no available Lidar data for the site. Photograph references: Google Earth images 2002, 2008, 2009, 2015. Google Street View 2011. MAL/67058 0137 13-Jun-1967, MAL/71050 0147 03-May-1971.

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. A rectilinear enclosure and associated field boundaries of probable Iron Age to Roman date are recorded as cropmarks within the northern part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the northern buffer as the modern Bankwood Industrial Estate. The site is part of an area that was used as allotments prior to the creation of the industrial estate, with the northern part of the estate, within the buffer, previously forming West End Wood, with the edge of the depot fossilising the boundary of the ancient woodland. Further character zones within the buffer comprise allotments to the northwest and a planned social housing estate to the south. The site is currently a square enclosure along a lane leading off West End Lane, containing a narrow rectangular brick-built shed structure with a corrugated metal roof. The area to the east of the building is rough grass, and there is a hedged boundary surrounding the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: # The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a field bounded to the south by West End Lane. By 1930, the site was shown as vacant land to the west of new housing. The 1956 map depicted the current building within the site, and the 1962 map showed the site in its present layout. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows West End Wood to the north and Bank Wood Lane to the west. The remaining area is fields, mainly strip fields in an area known as The Park, possibly a former medieval deer park associated with the manor of Draw Dikes. By 1930, the southern and eastern parts of the buffer contained housing estates forming part of the colliery village of New Rossington, with allotment gardens shown to the west and northwest. A TA Centre, clinic, British Legion Institute and Salvation Army Hall were shown to the west of the site in 1962, with another building on the West End Lane frontage to the immediate south and allotment gardens to the north. The industrial estate at the north edge of the buffer was first shown in 1989, within the former West End Wood. Survival: The site currently contains a narrow shed building, which is unlikely to have caused significant sub-surface disturbance. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Iron Age to Roman field boundaries have been recorded within the buffer to the north of the site, and such remains could continue 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 2002-2012 aerial photographs show the site containing a narrow rectangular structure within a square enclosure along a lane leading off West End Lane. The area to the east of the building is rough grass, and there is a hedged boundary surrounding the site. Street View imagery shows the building as a low, brick-built shed with small windows or ventilation openings at the top of the walls, just below the corrugated metal roof. The building to the south, on the street frontage, is shown as a funeral services office. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR events or monuments recorded within the site, Four findspots, 13 monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. The findspots comprise metalwork finds of Roman and medieval date recovered from Croft Drive, medieval pottery found in an excavation in the Market Place, a ‘long cross’ silver penny dated 1272-1307 and a sixpence of Elizabeth I. Medieval monuments comprise ditches containing medieval pottery, possibly former burgage plot boundaries, and the medieval hospital of St Leonards located to the north of Market Place. Post medieval monuments include the present market cross in the town centre which was erected in 1777 on site of an older cross, the village pump, a tallow candle factory, the 18th-century Red Lion Hotel, and a number of post medieval buildings on Sunderland Street. Two events are recorded in the buffer; an evaluation on land behind Red Lion Hotel identified a later medieval building and some earlier features; and a watching brief on Sunderland Street revealed the possible burgage plot boundaries, along with undated pits and wells. There are 32 listed buildings recorded within the buffer, all grade II listed apart from the grade II* St Leonard’s Hospital mentioned above. They are all located in the western part of the buffer, mainly along Sunderland Street, including the Post Office and The Vicarage, Market Place, Castlegate, and Manor House on Northgate. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project plotted an area of medieval ridge and furrow which runs across the northern parcel of the site and into the buffer, recorded as earthworks on a photograph from 1948. A 20th-century spoil heap was plotted in the far south of the buffer, south of Sunderland Street. Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site and part of the north of the buffer as playing fields and recreation grounds, including a bowling green, tennis court and allotment plots. There is no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure landscape. The site lies within the centre of Tickhill and is surrounded by modern housing estates with the historic burgage core of Tickhill in the south of the buffer. Directly east of the site is a cricket ground. The site is currently two parcels within an area of rough grass, bounded by hedges and located between two sports fields. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as within a group of small piecemeal enclosures and strip fields with a footpath running diagonally across the middle of the site from the southwest corner towards the northeast. An additional footpath ran along the southern edge of the site. The cricket ground to the east of the site was first depicted on the 1902 map. There was very little change to the area until 1962 when the tennis court, bowling green and recreational ground to the north had been established. By 1981 the modern housing estates surrounding the site had been established. No sports pitches were depicted within the site on any of the historic maps. Survival: The site is likely to have been in agricultural use from the medieval period onwards, and the field boundary has not changed since 1854. A linear bank, possibly covering a modern pipe, runs across the southern part 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 unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 5 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph shows the site as a cultivated or mowed field, with hedges around the sides, some possibly modern and associated with gardens to the south. The area to the immediate east was covered in trees. The site was under cultivation in 2003, but by 2009 was grassed, with a new, slightly curving earthen bank shown crossing the southeast side on a northeast to southwest alignment. The purpose of this is unclear, though its apparent recent origin suggests it may contain a pipe. By 2008, the site was covered with rough grass, and the area to the east had been stripped of trees. A new house had been built within the formerly wooded area to the east by 2012. To the north and east of the site are recreation grounds. No LiDAR is available for this area.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR events or monuments recorded within the site. Two findspots and two monuments are recorded within the buffer. A Roman brooch was found to the northwest of the Clifton and a hoard of 3rd- century AD Roman coins was found in two urns in 1705 to the east of the village. Directly to the east of the site, is a brick dovecote, a surviving outbuilding of Clifton Manor, and to the south is the site of Roman ironstone workings. 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 records three medieval to post-medieval lynchets in the north and west parts of the buffer, and an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow in the south. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the north of the buffer as the Hamlet of Clifton, comprising detached villas and some farm buildings. Elements of medieval planning such as Back Lane remain and therefore there is partial legibility of the former character. The southern and far east and western edges of the buffer are recorded as an area of enclosed land comprising strip fields named Clifton Field and Moot Hill Fields. Legibility is partial as the line of some of the medieval furlongs has been fossilised in the strip field boundaries. The area in the far north of the buffer is piecemeal enclosure which does not conform to the strip field pattern of adjacent fields. It is suggestive of a funnel and may have been used for access onto the common resulting in fragmentary legibility of the former landscape. The site currently comprises farm buildings and surrounding grassed yard areas. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicted a number of buildings within the site, including at least one structure fronting onto Beacon Lane to the south, and a complex of farm buildings to the north, fronting onto Common Lane. At the northwest corner of the site was a linear range of buildings, probably a barn. The 1892 map shows the site in more detail, and depicts the surviving farmhouse in the centre-east part of the site and an outbuilding behind (shown as South Farm in 1962), that also appears to survive. A well was shown in the yard between the two. To the south, fronting onto Beacon Lane, was a U-shaped range of buildings, and to the north was another farm complex along Common Lane (Grange Farm in 1962), with a pump in the yard, and the long range of barns at the northwest corner. This had an adjoining circular structure to the north (outside the site), possibly a horse-gin, and was associated with further barns or stables further to the north. By 1929, the U-shaped building at the southern end of the site had been demolished. No further changes were shown in 1962, the last of the detailed maps for this area, though the 1987 1:10,000 map showed that most of the Grange Farm buildings had been demolished. The barn range at the northwest corner was still shown in 1994, along with South Farm and two outbuildings. Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted further farm buildings and houses to the east of Common Lane, forming the historic core of Clifton and set within a series of lanes. Well Hill was shown within the northeast part of the buffer, and the remainder comprised fields, mainly suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. Some fields had been enlarged by 1948, and by 1962 small numbers of new houses had been built to the east of the hamlet. No further substantial changes were shown by 1994. Survival: Several of the standing farm buildings within the site are likely to be of 18th-century origin, including a threshing barn and a farmhouse, and other barns. There is a moderate to high potential for buried remains associated with other buildings shown in 1854 at the southern edge of the site and to the north of South Farm. The farm buildings may have truncated any earlier remains, though there is the potential for relatively undisturbed buried archaeology within the historic yard areas.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Further investigations: The standing buildings within the site are clearly of heritage value, and further assessment of their date, function and significance would be required to enable a consideration of the site’s capacity for development to be made. Significance: The farm buildings are considered to be of at least Local significance, though further assessment would be required to gain a clearer understanding of their heritage value. Buried remains associated with further farm buildings are also likely be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Aerial photographs from 1999-2012 show the site has a stone house/farmhouse fronting onto Common Lane in the centre of the site on the eastern boundary, and six outbuildings in the north and west of the site. The north of the site appears to be being used to store farm machinery or scrap, with the southern part, to the south of the house, laid to grass. There is no available LiDAR data for the site. Street View shows the long barn range surviving in the northwest corner of the site. This is an interesting, stone- built structure with a substantial buttress against the eastern gable, slit openings in that gable and along the northern wall, and various blocked openings. The barn is of at least two main phases of construction. Less detail is visible for the outbuildings along the western side of the site, but one appears to be a stone-built threshing barn with a pantile roof, and it is apparent that at least two others are also stone-built and historically significant. South Farm itself is also stone built and of historic significance, though perhaps more altered. The farm buildings may be of 18th-century date.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three findspots and two monuments are recorded at the southeast edge of the buffer zone: prehistoric flint artefacts including an awl and a scraper; a circular enclosure or round barrow and a Roman field system recorded as cropmarks. 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 did not record any features within the site. Iron Age or Roman boundary ditches and levelled ridge and furrow were recorded at the southeast edge of the buffer. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Private Housing Estate. A number of estate developments are included within this unit which date from the 1940s through to the 1980s. Mostly semi detached properties with some detached, mostly built as later infill. There is little legibility of the early enclosed landscape. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Private Parkland and Agglomerated Fields. One area of historic landfill is recorded within the buffer zone. The site currently comprises overgrown gardens within a housing estate. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site formed part of a field at the time of the 1854 OS map. The site remained fields in 1948, but had become part of a large domestic garden by 1956. The site remained part of a garden at the time of the 1992 OS map Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, field boundaries, Sprotbrough Road and Newton Lane. Mill Hill and Richmond Hill were marked in the northern part of the buffer in 1892, with housing and two LNER railway lines shown on the 1930 map. Further housing had been constructed by 1948, with more shown in 1956. Extensive housing development had taken place in the immediate vicinity of the site by 1959. A nursery with several large greenhouses stood to the north and west of the site at that date, while a Methodist chapel, tennis courts, a community centre, hotels, warehouses and clubs were also shown. The nursery remained extant in 1984, but had been replaced by Allendale Gardens and further housing by 1992. Survival: The site appears to have remained undeveloped since at least 1854. Some ground disturbance within the site is indicated on the Lidar data, and the present day tree cover may have caused some root damage. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to low. 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 gardens in 2002, scrub in 2005 and as an area of dense vegetation overgrowth and immature trees by 2012. Lidar data shows some ground disturbance within the site. It is not clear if this is due to excavation to the dumping of made ground, perhaps in relation to the construction of

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records no monuments or events within the site itself. There are three monuments and eight events in the buffer zone. The monuments are the Woodlands Colliery Village, a model village constructed in the early 20th century for miners at the nearby Brodsworth Colliery, at the south-east end of the buffer; and the Roman Ridge road, a military road from Lincoln to York, via Doncaster, which runs just outside the western site boundary. The events relate to geophysical surveys, watching briefs, surveys and trial trenches, all located within the western half of the buffer. The results of these investigations recorded areas of Romano-British linear boundaries with possible rectilinear enclosures, possibly forming a 'ladder settlement' arrangement, with pottery provisionally dated to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, extending into the southwest edge of the site. This is a surviving section of the agger of the Roman Ridge road mentioned above. There are four Grade II listed buildings within the buffer, which relate to houses at Woodlands built in 1908 for the Brodsworth Colliery Company. These are all located at the south-eastern end of the buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries are present to the west of the site. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the north-eastern area of the buffer as a planned social housing estate forming part of Woodlands colliery village; though part of the later development of the village this area continues the geometric principles of the earlier phases. Within the southeast part of the buffer is part of the original Woodlands development, built after the principles of the garden suburb movement. Within the south of the buffer, the landscape is characterised as the site of Brodsworth Colliery, a landscaped former coal mine now regenerating as meadows and woodlands. To the west of the site is a small modern metal trades development and the Redhouse Interchange, a commercial development of sheds and warehouses. The site currently comprises a single parcel of land, with modern fence boundaries. Two small brick structures are present at the southern end of the site. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1851 OS map, the site is within the western half of a single field, with the Roman road to the immediate west, and Ridge Balk to the south. The current northern site boundary is present as a field boundary. There is little change on the site until 1930, by which time a covered reservoir had been built within the centre of the site, with several smaller ancillary buildings to the south. The eastern site boundary had also been established by this time. Some of the smaller buildings at the southern end of the site had been removed by 1971, and a building had been constructed to the north of the reservoir. There is no change shown on the site on the 1982 map. Within the buffer, in 1851 the majority of the area comprised fields. The site is located at a crossroads of Long Lands Lane, Ridge Balk, and the Roman Road. The Roman Ridge road is clearly marked on all the historic OS maps. A small limestone quarry is located to the west of the site, on the opposite side of the Roman road. There is little change until 1906, when an area of woodland appears to the south of the site, labelled Terry Holt. By 1930, to the immediate north of the site, filter beds were present, associated with the water works which are present on the site itself. Brodsworth Main Colliery had been established to the south of the site and to the south-east, a housing estate was built, associated with the colliery. The small quarry to the east of the site was no longer in use. By 1955, a housing estate to the immediate east of the site was under construction, which by 1961 was complete, extending northwards. Allotment gardens had been established to the west of the site, on the opposite side of the Roman road.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Survival: A reservoir located with the site from at least 1930 until the early 21st century means that the potential for survival of any buried archaeological remains across the majority of the site is likely to be low. Sub-surface pipelines and associated infrastructure may also have disturbed buried remains outside the area of the reservoir. Historic maps indicate that small ancillary buildings were present at the southern end of the site, although some of this area, particularly a narrow strip to the east of the site, does not appear to have been subject to any deep- ground disturbance associated with the water works. As such, the survival potential in the eastern area of the site is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Consideration of the setting of the Scheduled Monument of the Roman Ridge road is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Given the proximity of the Scheduled Monument, and the previous investigations within the buffer zone which recorded numerous Roman features, some further archaeological investigation of the potential for buried remains may be required in the strip at the eastern side. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The buildings present on the 1982 OS map are still present on 2002-2009 Google Earth images, but by 2015 the main reservoir structure and the building to the north had been removed, leaving only two smaller structures to the south. The reservoir appears to have been infilled and the area grassed over. No previously unrecorded heritage assets within the site or buffer have been identified from Lidar data.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as suburban commercial core, developed along Balby Road in the late 19th century, initially as larger terraced villa-type properties and now dominated by commercial businesses. Some of the terraced properties remain. Further character zones within the buffer include schools, an area of heavy metal trades industrialised since the later 19th century, a public park, allotment gardens, a mixture of terraced and semi-detached housing and a private housing estate. The site comprises two small plots, each currently occupied by three houses at the north and south ends of a row of terraced housing fronting onto Balby Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map showed the site as within a square field or garden at the junction of Balby Road and Carr Hill. A house was shown to the northeast, possibly within the site. In 1892, the site was still mainly a garden, with a building at the southwest corner. This had been demolished and a new terrace of 10 houses constructed by 1930, with small yards to the rear. The site covers six of the houses, three at each end of the row, and remains unchanged to the present day. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows a gravel and sand pit just to the east of the site. A few houses are shown along Carr Hill at this date, but the area mainly comprised fields and nurseries, with an area of parkland associated with Westfield House to the northwest. By 1892, terraced and semi-detached housing and a chapel were shown to the south along Balby Road, with more terraces to the north, and to the southeast along Carr Hill. The gravel pit was no longer shown. By 1930, the area to the west, south and northeast was dominated by terraced housing, either built or under construction. A group of buildings were shown to the immediate east of the site, possibly workshops or outbuildings; these had been replaced by a motor garage by 1961, at which date the terraces to the immediate northeast of the site had been demolished. the garage had been extended by 1972, and a warehouse built to the northeast of the site. A clothing factory was shown to the southeast of the garage. No further changes were shown by 1992. Survival: The site contains terraced houses with basements, indicating that no buried archaeological remains are likely to survive within the site. The houses are of early 20th-century date, constructed between 1903 and 1930, with some major recent modifications to the ground floor frontage. Further investigations: No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: The standing buildings are considered to be of minor Local heritage significance. The significance of buried archaeology is negligible.

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

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Four monuments are recorded within the buffer: the site of two pottery works and a former National School in the north part of the buffer, and Mexborough railway station to the south. The are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed building is located within the buffer, Mexborough railway station. Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as part of a light metal trades complex, dominated by the imposing Coltran Works building on the canal side, currently disused. This area of former gardens and orchards was shown as partially industrialised by 1891, when a corn mill and crane were shown. There is no legibility of earlier landscapes. Other character zones within the buffer include an area of valley floor meadows which retains some of the character of medieval and later enclosure; as well as modern agglomerated fields, business parks, allotments, various types of housing from 19th-century terraces to modern villas, modern road network infrastructure, industrial complexes and the urban commercial core of Mexborough. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Two 20th-century air raid shelters are recorded within the northeast and northwest parts of the buffer. The site is currently a fairly narrow strip of hard-standing, bounded to the south by the Don Navigation and to the north by a modern slip road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map depicts the site as part of part of three fields to the south of Market Street. Development was shown along the street frontage north of the site and two buildings were shown to the south of the western plot, possibly extending into the site. By 1892, a lane was shown leading from Market Street to the Leech Bridge across the canal, running along the boundary at the western edge of the site. A large building, one of four within the eastern field, may have extended into the site; the nature of these buildings is unclear from the map. By 1903, these buildings had been replaced by a saw mill which may extend into the site. The saw mill had been demolished by 1930, when two smaller buildings were shown at the eastern side of the site, and a square building within the western tip. By 1971 the current northern boundary of the site had been established, by the construction of a new road network to the north, removing Market Street and all the buildings along it. New council depot buildings were shown within the central part of the site, and the smaller building to the west was labelled 'works', with vacant land to the east of the depot. This layout was mainly unchanged in 1988. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows occupation concentrated to the north of the site along Market Street and Oxford Street. A single rectangular structure was located within the buffer to the east, close to the Don Navigation. By 1892, houses and works buildings were shown to the west of the site. In 1930, a police station was shown to the north of the site, fronting onto Market Street, and in 1958 an area of terraced land was shown to the north of the eastern end of the site, with a fire station and youth club on the Market Street frontage. The buildings fronting onto Market Street had been demolished by 1971, when changes to the road network had cut across the buffer. Survival: Much of the northern edge of the site is likely to have been disturbed during the construction of the A6023 and associated slip road during the late 1960s. The construction of the Council Depot may also have disturbed below- ground deposits though the depth of foundations for this building is unknown. The potential for the survival of remains associated with the 19th-century buildings within the site is considered to be moderate. The location of the site in the alluvial plain of the Don suggests that there may be the potential for the survival of medieval or earlier remains at a significant depth below the current ground levels.

Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the 19th-century buildings within the site could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 21st-century aerial photography indicates the Council Depot was demolished by 2008. Since then the site has remained as an open area of hard standing. Photograph references: Google Earth coverage, 2002, 2008 & 2009.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records one monument within the site, the site of the 19th-century Providence Glassworks, located at the western side of the site. Four findspots are located within the buffer zone, all surface finds of flint artefacts, mainly dating to the Mesolithic period and recovered from near Cadeby Cliff to the northeast of the site and the Ings to the northwest. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One grade II listed milepost is located within the 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, 20th-century air raid shelters and post-medieval terraced ground in the southern part of the buffer. Historic Environment Characterisation records the landscape character within the site as a mixture of Modern Regenerated Scrubland and Suburban Commercial Core. The regenerated scrubland is on the site of the former Providence Glass Works at the western end of the site, with an adjacent strip to the east formerly occupied by 19th-century housing. Further character zones within the buffer include Regenerated Scrubland on the site of Denaby Main Colliery, modern residential, commercial, educational and leisure development in Denaby, all dating from the 20th century, with the sites of reclaimed coal mining spoil heaps to the north at the Ings, and former Cadeby Main Colliery to the northeast at the Earth Centre. Historic landfill data records an area of former infill to the immediate east of the site, at ‘River Don and Conisbrough Station’. The nature of the infill is not recorded. The site is currently a car parking area surfaced with hardcore, with a modern lightweight building at the eastern end. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map showed the site occupied by fields, many of which were narrow with sinuous boundaries characteristic of enclosure from medieval open field. The River Don ran on a different route to its current alignment, forming a wide meander with the land extending further north than it does at present. The central area of the site was labelled 'Wrangholme', with the bend of the river at the southeast end of the meander labelled 'The Devil's Elbow'. This was north of the current area of the site. The southern boundary was formed by a railway line. The 1892 map showed the Providence Glass Works at the western end of the site, with buildings labelled kilns, a series of other irregularly-shaped buildings, and an internal railway system linked to the main railway which formed the southern boundary of the site. Two rows of terraced housing were shown to the immediate west of the works. These buildings were accessed by Kilner’s Bridge over the railway and a road running along the south boundary of the site. The area to the west was shown as two fields, with many of the former boundaries having been removed. By 1906, the glass works had expanded further, and the bridge at the southeast end of the site was shown, crossing the River Don, with a road leading to it along the southern boundary of the site from Kilner's Bridge. The glassworks area was densely occupied by buildings by 1930, with the western row of housing having been demolished and replaced by factory buildings. Two semi-detached houses were shown at the southeast corner of the site (labelled Cadeby Villas in 1962). In 1956, the Providence Glass Works was still labelled, though all the kilns and buildings at the western side of the works had been demolished. Only a few structures were shown at the eastern side of the works site. In 1962, a colliery spoil tip covered the majority of the eastern side of the site. The former glass works buildings west of the spoil tip were labelled NCB Offices in 1975, with scrubland at the western tip of the site. By 1994, the entire site was shown as vacant land, with the road network still shown along the southern edge and road and footbridges over the Don at the eastern end. The route of the river had been straightened by this date, with a canalised section cut across the former meander. This forms the current boundary of the site. Within the buffer, the 1851 map showed the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway running along the
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
southern boundary of the site, and irregularly shaped fields between the railway and the river as well as south of the railway. The course of a silted up former meander of the river was shown just to the north of the site, as an isolated crescent-shaped pond with adjacent osier bed. Areas labelled Near Under Hill Field and Sandy Rood Field were located to the south of the railway, probably the names of medieval open fields that had previously extended up to the river. Cadeby Cliff was located in the northeast part of the buffer, Mexborough Low Lock at the northwest end, and North Cliff to the south. The 1894 map showed development at Denaby Main village, with housing to the south of the railway and in the southwest part of the buffer. Limekilns were shown to the south of Kilner's Bridge and Cadeby Colliery was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer, north of the River Don. Railway sidings associated with Denaby Main colliery were in the western part of the buffer. Denaby Main village and Cadeby Main colliery had both expanded by 1904 and further by 1956. A railway line linking Cadeby Main colliery to the main line had been built across the Don to the immediate west of the site by 1904. The 1967 map showed the buffer area north of the Don and west of Cadeby Main as almost entirely covered with spoil heap; these were still present in 1980, though the Cadeby Main and Denaby Main colliery buildings and railway infrastructure had all been demolished, the sites shown as vacant land. Survival: The extent of sub-surface survival is currently uncertain as the site has been landscaped following the closure of Cadeby and Denaby Main collieries, including the re-routing of the River Don along the northern boundary of the site. A spoil heap formerly covered most of the site, and it is uncertain whether this was entirely removed or used to build up the current land surface. The extent of works buildings and kilns shown at the late 19th-century Providence Glassworks at the western end of the site suggests that there is a high potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains associated with these structures. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development. Significance: Remains associated with the glass works and workers’ housing could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Note: this site covers the same area as site 468.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photographs showed the central and eastern part of the site as a car park for the Earth Centre to the north of the new route of the River Don. Surfacing appeared to be mainly hardcore, and a modern lightweight building to the east may have been visitor facilities. To the west, the site was shown as rough grass. By 2008, the car park was no longer shown and the whole site appeared to have been either stripped of topsoil or covered with hardcore. No evidence for former buildings was visible. This remained unchanged by 2015, with the exception of some rough grass regeneration in places. Lidar coverage for the site is limited to the land immediately adjacent to the river, and does not shown any previously unrecorded features.

Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR does not records any features 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 Second World War air raid shelters and post-medieval ridge and furrow at the western end of the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as modern agglomerated fields resulting from rationalised piecemeal enclosure with only partial legibility of the post-medieval strip fields enclosed from medieval open field. Within the buffer zone, further character areas mostly comprise modern housing, schools and retail buildings. The site was in agricultural use from at least 1841 and remained so into the early 21st century. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. The site was shown as open land crossed by Wellsyke Drain on the 1841 Ordnance Survey map. A pronounced curve that was shown in the course of the drain had been straightened by 1854. No change had occurred within the site by 1906. The site has remained open land. Within the buffer zone, Carcroft and the course of the High Street were shown to the west of the site on the 1771 Jefferys map. Spring Head or Bog Plantation was shown in the eastern part of the buffer zone on the 1841 OS map. St. Andrew’s Church, a Mission Church, a school and a housing development were shown in 1932. Allotments shown to the south of the site in 1932 remained extant in 1990. Several air raid shelters were constructed within the west of the buffer during the Second World War, while a depot and a sewage pumping station were constructed between 1968 and 1978. Survival: Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance in the site, the potential for the survival of any previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate. Further investigations: Further 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 scrub, with a mix of both immature and mature trees. No Lidar coverage is available for this site.

Site assessment Known assets/character: There are no SMR records for the site itself. Within the buffer zone, one findspot of a Neolithic polished flint axe is located to the east of the site. There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. There is one listed building within the buffer zone, the grade II listed Bentley pinfold. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded within the buffer zone, to the north of the site. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a residential planned estate, containing boundaries probably relating to historic 'burgage type plots' radiating from Cooke Street. Before the rapid expansion of Bentley in the early twentieth century, historic maps show a probable large medieval village or small town. Plan elements which are likely to have a medieval date include Cooke Street; Jossey Lane; Mill Gate/Chapel Street; and Finkle Street. There is partial legibility of the earlier plot boundaries within which these early twentieth century buildings were developed. Character types in the buffer zone include a variety of housing, parks, schools and allotments. The site is currently occupied by a building fronting onto Cooke Street with a smaller building set behind it. The immediate surrounding area of the site comprises modern housing, with a small area of parkland a little further to the north. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1851 OS map shows a building on the site, although this is unlabelled and its function is unclear. By 1906 the building was labelled smithy. In 1959 it was labelled ‘Works’, and another building had been constructed behind it. No change is evident on the 1992 map. Within the buffer zone, the area to the south of the site was already well developed as the settlement of Bentley by 1851. Breweries, pubs, chapels, schools, mills, farm, a workhouse and numerous houses are all marked on the map in Bentley at this time. Cooke Street had numerous buildings along it, and structures were present to either side of the structure present on the site. These had long, narrow property boundaries extending to the north- west, possibly a remnant of the original medieval Burbage plots. Further to the north of the site was mostly fields. By 1930 development had occurred to the north-west of the site, with a new housing development. A Miners’ Welfare Park had also been established to the north of the site, with a small area of trees immediately backing onto the site. Additional housing had also been constructed to the east and north of the site, off Askern Road and Finkle Street. By 1959 a council yard and depot are shown next to the site. By 1990 a number of buildings fronting on to Cooke Street had been cleared, with a small cluster remaining around and within the site. Survival: A building has been present on the site since at least 1851, and remained so until the 21st century, with the addition of a second building by 1959. Google Earth images from 2015 appear to show the buildings demolished, although the image quality is poor and this cannot be fully determined. However, the potential for the below- ground survival of foundations, associated cellars, floor surfaces and possible industrial debris associated with the function of the buildings is considered to be high. Earlier remains may also be present, as the site is situated within the medieval core of Bentley. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development.
www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment
Significance: Remains associated with small-scale 19th and early 20th century industry may be present on the site, and are likely to be considered of Local archaeological significance. The significance of any earlier remains is currently Unknown.
Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Early 21st-century aerial photographs show the site as unchanged from the 1992 OS map.

By 2015 both buildings on the site appear to have been cleared, although the images are blurred and somewhat unclear. No previously unrecorded heritage assets on the site can be identified within Lidar imagery. Photograph references: Google Earth Images 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2015. Lidar data tile SE5605 DTM 1m.
