A topographical survey of Canklow Woods revealed an Iron Age/Roman period settlement activity concentrated on the ridge to the east of the area. An agricultural community was assumed due to the association of terraces and field systems. Post-medieval quarrying activity was represented by brick/concrete structures and children's dens. The archaeological remains were little understood due to no exploratory excavation and public use of the woodland threatened the remains with erosion. [Au(abr)]

ECCLESALL WOODS, SHEFFIELD. Hilltop Enclosure and Field System, Eccelsall Woods, Sheffield. Archaeological Survey Archaeological Survey and Evaluation Ltd Sheffield : Archaeological Survey and Evaluation Ltd, 2002, 14pp, tabs, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Archaeological Survey and Evaluation Ltd

The complex features identified on Ecclesall Wood consist of two main elements: a hilltop enclosure defined by a curvilinear bank with intermittent counterscarp, and, a series of enclosures that formed part of an irregular aggregate field system. Both the enclosure and the field system were tentatively dated to the Iron Age or Romano-British periods on the basis of the morphology. The relationship between one of the enclosures and the counterscarp bank suggested thet the field system was later than the hilltop enclosure. [Au(abr)]
