Site assessment Known assets/character:

The SMR records five monuments within the site. These are all associated with Iron Age to Roman activity, including two enclosures recorded through cropmark evidence and geophysical survey, and two pottery kilns, one within an enclosure, the other outside. One of the enclosures was interpreted as a possible settlement site. The strong magnetic signature of the kilns indicated a considerable quantity of burnt clay. It was noted that the geological background would otherwise make identification of infilled ditch-features difficult through geophysical survey. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. It is unclear whether the features were excavated; the SMR records only refer to geophysical survey and surface finds but the HEC data for this site states that kilns were excavated in this area.

The Doncaster pottery industry area continues into the buffer, where five findspots and one further monument are recorded. Four of the findspots are of Neolithic flint tools, including an axe head found to the northwest of the site on Doncaster Racecourse and a flint knife, flakes and a scraper found to the southwest of the site. A Roman coin was found in association with the remains of a hearth to the east of the site. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the southwest edge of the buffer.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a clear pattern of Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field boundaries within the site, including one of the enclosures identified by geophysical survey at the southeast side of the site, though the second enclosure is not shown as a cropmark. More fragmentary ditches of uncertain date are recorded within the northwest part of the buffer. Earthworks and structures associated with a firing range were recorded in the southeast part of the buffer on a 1940s photograph, though this area has since been built over.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as surveyed enclosure, an area of small, regular fields probably enclosed from commons by Parliamentary Award in 1771. Further character zones within the buffer include Redhouse Plantation to the immediate northeast of the site, Doncaster Racecourse on former common land to the northwest, a mixture of private and social housing estates and detached houses, a public park, allotment gardens and a cemetery.

The site is currently a field covered in rough grass and shrub, with Redhouse Plantation to the northeast.

Cartographic/historic land use assessment:

The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of three fields with fairly regular boundaries. One boundary had been removed by 1892, to create one large and one smaller field. The current southern boundary was formed by 1930, when a railway line was built, and the site was shown as one field between the railway and the racecourse at that date. No further changes were shown within the site by 1993.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows Doncaster Common and racecourse to the immediate northwest of the site, and Rose Hill farm or large house to the southwest. Sand Road is shown at the southern edge of the buffer and the remaining area is fields or unenclosed common land. Redhouse Plantation was shown to the northeast of the site in 1892, separated by a drainage ditch. By 1930, the South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been built along the southern boundary of the site. Housing was shown to the south of Rose Hill and Sand Road at that date, and Cantley Rifle range was located to the southeast of the railway line. By 1956, housing estates had been built over the rifle range, and a cemetery was shown to the south of the housing. The 1961 map showed a golf course within the area surrounded by the racecourse. Housing had been built up to the southwest edge of the site by 1976.



Survival:

There has been no sub-surface disturbance recorded on historic mapping or aerial photographs. Cropmarks and geophysical survey have recorded Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and possible settlement enclosures within the site, as well as two Roman pottery kilns. It is possible that the kilns have been excavated, though this is not clear from the SMR record. The extent of the area covered by geophysical survey is also unknown, and further kilns and associated remains could survive within the field. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be high.

Further investigations:

This site has a high potential for the survival of significant archaeological remains associated with Roman settlement, agriculture and pottery production. Further consideration should be made of its capacity for housing development.

Significance:

Remains associated with the Roman pottery industry and associated settlement are part of a wider industrial and agricultural landscape within this area considered to be of Regional archaeological significance.

Note: Site 350 covers the same area as Site 407.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary:

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

Allocation Reference: 352 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: House of Play, 91 Abbey Rd, Dunscroft



The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer, the site of Dunscroft Grange, a medieval farm or abbey associated with Roche Abbey in the medieval period, which is located to the west of the site.

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 probable prehistoric enclosure and ditched boundaries, and a probable post-medieval boundary ditch were recorded within the buffer to the south of site, in an area that has been developed since the photographs were taken.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as suburban commercial core, with no legibility of the previous enclosure of Hatfield Park. Other character zones within the buffer mainly relate to modern housing, both social and private developments, within former enclosed land and the former historic core of Dunscroft.

The site is occupied by modern industrial and office buildings, with a small area of car park to the north.


The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of a field to the immediate west of Dunscroft Manor House, with the northern boundary formed by Park Lane. The northern boundary of the site was established by 1948, by development along Station Road (formerly Park Lane). By 1970, an engineering works was shown within the site, with the area on the street frontage redeveloped and Abbey Lane established along the eastern boundary of the site. The works appeared to have expanded by 1992.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed Dunscroft Manor House and outbuildings (including a dovecot on a mound) to the west of the site, cottages within the core of the old settlement to the northeast, and Hunters Cottage to the northwest, on the north side of Park Lane. These buildings were set within fields, with a small area of possible parkland to the south of Dunscroft Manor. By 1930, housing development in a grid-iron pattern was underway at the western edge of the buffer, with the area around the site remaining largely unchanged. Dunscroft Manor House had been renamed Dunscroft Abbey by that date. Four buildings, at least three of which were probably houses, were shown to the immediate north of the site, along Station Road, by 1948, and further ribbon development had occurred along this road by 1962, including a works immediately to the north of the site. Dunscroft Abbey had been demolished by 1972, and the site developed with housing.

Survival:

The extent of later 20th-century development, including an engineering works, suggests that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is low.


No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.




The 2002-2015 aerial coverage shows the site as a large building with a carpark to the north, accessed via drives off Station Road and Abbey Road. These buildings are shown on Street View as mainly low, modern light industrial or office units. The built environment means that there are no significant features shown on the Lidar coverage.

Site assessment

Known assets/character:

There are no SMR records within the site. Within the buffer, two findspots, 11 monuments and three events are

recorded. The findspots were of a medieval silver coin and a medieval arrowhead, whilst the monuments

comprise an Iron Age to Romano-British enclosure and field boundaries; medieval features including clay-lined

tanning pits recovered during one of the events; the 18th

-century Lindrick House, Rowlands Bridge and brick

archway; a barn at Castle Gate and Tickhill Mill and dam, all of 18th

- to 19th

-century date; and a 19th-century

limestone quarry. Building recording has been carried out at Sunnyside Cottage and trial trenching and

excavations at Sunnyside house recovered the remains of medieval tanning pits and associated artefacts.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument, Tickhill Castle,

just intrudes into the northeast corner of the buffer zone, whilst eight listed buildings are located in the northern

part of the buffer. Lindrick House is grade II* listed, whilst the remaining structures are grade II listed, including

houses, a bridge, a wall, a barn and a mill.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records two areas of

post-medieval ridge and furrow over almost the whole of the site, and a further area within the north of the

buffer. Modern arable agriculture within the site is likely to have levelled the earthworks, which are not visible on

recent aerial photographs, though no Lidar data is available to confirm this.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern buffer as

agglomerated fields, created through the removal of field boundaries in the later 20th

century. Surviving field

names create a fragmentary legibility of the former piecemeal enclosure from open fields. Areas to the north of

the site include modern private housing estates, an area of piecemeal enclosure and an 18th

- to 19th

-century

vernacular farm complex with significant legibility of piecemeal enclosures.

The site currently forms part of a large field in arable cultivation.


The 1852 OS map shows the site as located within an area of piecemeal enclosure known as ‘King’s Closes’.

Significant loss of field boundaries occurred between 1962 and 1981.

In 1852, the enclosure to the north of the site was bounded by trees, and encompassed Lindrick House and its

outbuildings. The areas to the east, west and south comprised piecemeal enclosure with smaller housing plots in

Tickhill Village in the north. By 1981, Lindrick House has been demolished and modern housing has been

constructed in its place, and in the areas to the east and west.

Survival:

The site has probably been in agricultural use from the medieval period, and has been recently used for arable

cultivation. This is likely to have caused some truncation of sub-surface deposits, but the potential for the survival

of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.



Aerial Photographs & Lidar

Summary:

Aerial photographs from 1999 show that the site is located across the northern part of a large field in arable

cultivation. To the north of the site is a small development of detached housing. The site is bounded on the north

and west by Lindrick Lane and to the east by Water Lane. The southern edge of the site has no visible boundary.

No LiDAR is available for this area.

Site assessment


There are no SMR events or monuments recorded within the site. One findspot and ten monuments are recorded

within the buffer. These comprise a Romano-British disc brooch with enamel decoration; two timber-framed

houses and a timber-framed barn at Northgate; a 17th

-century burgage plot and cess pit complex; other 17th

-

century structures located at the northern end of the town; two dovecotes and outbuildings and a mid-19th

century house on Northgate, and a further four post-medieval houses, also on Northgate.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site. There are 17 grade II listed buildings

listed within the eastern side of the buffer, comprising 16 houses on Northgate and one on Wilsic Road.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records three areas

of post medieval ridge and furrow in the south and west of the buffer.

Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site and the western side of the buffer as being an area of

enclosed strip fields which is being eroded through continued loss of field boundaries. Several of the groups of

strip fields have names, probably given at the time of consolidation of the furlongs, which persist today such as

'Hindley Closes' and 'Clay Croft Closes'. The south and east of the buffer includes areas of modern housing and a

small area within the historic burgage core of Tickhill.

The site is currently a field in arable cultivation.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as two strip fields, with the boundary separating them being removed by 1902.

No further changes were shown on subsequent maps.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows further strip fields surrounding the site to the north, south and west and

burgage plots of Tickhill to the east. By 1948 additional buildings had been constructed in thin strip plots to the

northeast of the site. The 1971 map showed the beginning phases of the construction of the housing estate

directly south of the site, which had been completed by 1981.

Survival:

The site is likely to have been in agricultural use from the medieval period onwards. Though this may have caused

some truncation of below-ground deposits, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological

remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate. The site is within an area of fields where the

boundaries have fossilised the pattern of former strip fields enclosed from open field, though this character is

being eroded through modern boundary loss.


Further archaeological investigation may be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.


Summary:

Aerial photographs from 1999 show the site as bounded by hedgerow on the south and northeast, and by a

shallow ditch in the north and west. The field is currently used for arable cultivation and is situated within further

agricultural fields to the north and a modern housing estate to the south. No LiDAR is available for this area.

The SMR does not record any monuments of events within the site and 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 does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, ridge and furrow has been recorded to the north and west.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as within an area of planned social housing estate established in the 1960s and consisting of short terrace blocks. There is little boundary time depth, although 'Chestnut Avenue' may be part of the post-medieval villages plan. The estate has been built over the post-medieval street frontage of Chestnut Avenue shown on the OS 1st edition which included an early example of a 'National' School. Within the buffer zone, further character areas mainly comprise housing, including terraces, villas/detached housing and social housing estates, as well as retail parks, a public park, school and church, and one surviving area of piecemeal enclosure on a former colliery site.

The site is divided into three separate plots comprising tarmac/concrete car parking areas for the surrounding estate. Garages are also located on the site. A single green space is located within the largest of the three plots.


The site is difficult to identify on the 1851-54 OS map, however the three plots can be located somewhere within the piecemeal pattern of enclosure immediately northeast of the National School (closed prior to 1906), located off Chestnut Avenue. The pattern of enclosure along with the development of housing along Chestnut Avenue remains the same until 1983, at which stage housing development had commenced along Trafalgar Street in the east of the buffer zone, along with the establishment of allotment gardens. It is unclear as to whether part of the allotments overlap with the eastern most site. Within the buffer zone to the northwest, a sewage pumping station, Miners’ Welfare Hall and recreation ground had also been established by this date. The current extent of the sites had been established by the publication of the 1977 OS map.

Survival:

The site has been used as car parking in the late 20th century, with some garages on the site. It is possible that the construction of garages and the surrounding housing estate may have disturbed sub-surface deposits, but this may be relatively limited. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the sites as car parks with garages and green space within a housing estate. There is no Lidar data available for this site.

Allocation Reference: 368 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Adwick Depot, Mill Lane, Adwick le Street



The SMR records one monument within the site, a post-medieval barn and dovecote. Eight monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. Immediately to the east of the site lies the possible medieval shrunken village of Adwick le Street/Bentley, which contains the site of a medieval moat. A little further to the southeast, post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded. To the south of the site are the grade II* listed medieval church of St Lawrence, a medieval cross in the churchyard, which is a Scheduled Monument and grade II listed, as well as the site of Adwick Hall and garden. To the northeast of the site is a post-medieval corn mill, which is also grade II listed. The two events relate to recording during restoration of the corn mill.

There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, the medieval cross in the churchyard of St Lawrence, noted above. Four listed building exist within the buffer. These comprise the church of St Lawrence, medieval cross and corn mill, noted above. Also within the church is a grade II listed Cholera memorial.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, earthworks related to the medieval moat are recorded to the east of the site. Levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded throughout the buffer, particularly to the northwest.

Historic landfill data records an area of infilled ground to the north of the site at Mill Lane.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the eastern half of the site as late 20th-century institutional buildings including a school and a council depot, with no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure landscape. The western half of the site is identified as residential, in an area which the 1854 OS map depicts a layout which may have developed as burgage plots along Village Street. There is probable fragmentary legibility of some older plot boundaries. Within the buffer, character areas comprise a variety of housing, industrial plots and schools. There is fragmentary visibility of former landscape characteristic within the buffer, due to the concentration of modern development.

The site currently comprises a rectangular plot of land with buildings at the western and eastern end and an open area for car parking in the centre.


On the 1854 OS map the eastern side of site was shown as part of a fairly narrow field, possibly a croft or burgage plot associated with the buildings at the western end, fronting onto Village Street. The buildings at the western end comprised a T-shaped range along the north side and smaller buildings on the southern side. The 1892 map showed this in more detail, with the buildings possibly forming stables/barns or other outbuildings associated with a house or farm to the immediate south of the site. The field to the east had been amalgamated into a larger field by 1892. By 1930, the buildings at the western end had been expanded to cover most of this end of the site. Between 1948 and 1955, a square building had been constructed at the eastern end of the site, fronting onto Mill Lane, shown as being enclosed within the current site boundary by 1961. In 1966 and 1982 the buildings at the northwest corner were still shown, with car parking in central area of the site, but the remainder of the site was shown as vacant land in 1982.

Within the buffer, by 1854 a railway line was located to the east of the site, with Adwick Mill located close-by. The basic road pattern was established by this date, with the centre of the town focused around Village Street, which runs along the western boundary of the site. To the north of the site were fields, whilst to the south was the core of the town. Adwick Hall was marked on the 1854 map, but had been demolished by 1892. By 1961 an Occupation Centre had been constructed directly to the south of the site, with a sheep wash marked to the west of the site. By 1982 the Occupation Centre was marked as Fernbank Special School. By 1966, the construction of houses had begun on Tenter Balk Lane, expanding considerably northward by 1982.



Survival:

Some of the surviving structures at the western end are of historic significance, one recorded on the SMR as a 17th-century barn and dovecote, and the remaining fabric of the structure appears to have been mostly constructed between 1854 and 1892. The eastern end of the site was developed in the later 20th century, but the current building on this site is a light industrial shed, which may have had limited sub-surface disturbance. The potential for survival of any unrecorded buried remains in the central and eastern part of the site is currently unknown.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. This is likely to include assessment and recording of the historic buildings, as well as an investigation of the potential for sub-surface deposits. Though there are listed buildings in the buffer, none of their settings are likely to be adversely impacted by development within the site.

Significance:

The post-medieval dovecote, barn and later outbuildings may be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows a collection of stone and brick-built buildings at the western end of the site, appearing to be historic farm outbuildings. Within the eastern part of the site is are two modern light industrial buildings, with the central area used as a car park and yard area. Lidar data for the site does not contain any previously unrecorded heritage assets. Most of the cropmarks recorded from aerial photographs within the buffer are not visible within the Lidar data.

There are no SMR records for the site itself. Within the buffer zone, one record exists, for a post-medieval building. The record is somewhat unclear, but it seems likely that the building no longer exists, although a section of wall may still be present, thought to be 17th century in date. Two events are also recorded within the buffer zone, within the area of the demolished post-medieval building. The results revealed the presence of a number of possible post-medieval features.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site or the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer zone, to the north-west of the site, 20th-century air raid shelters are recorded. To the east of the site, post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the north-eastern part of the buffer zone as enclosed land. This character area is a well-preserved piecemeal enclosure landscape, probably predating the period of Parliamentary Enclosure, with some evidence for earlier open field cultivation in the form of preserved ridge and furrow. The area is associated with the medieval moated site to the south of the site, and the shrunken medieval village of Stockbridge. There is partial legibility of former open field cultivation ridges. The majority of the remainder of the buffer zone is characterised by modern housing.

The site currently comprises an irregular parcel of land, with a small amount of trees at the southern end. The usage of the site is unclear, although it may be used for recreational purposes. A footpath runs east-west across the site. To the west are modern houses and to the east is a caravan park and fields.


The 1854 OS map depicts the site as part of field amongst a group labelled Stocksbridge Field. By 1930 a small railway line was shown aligned north-south through the eastern part of the site, named Landsale Siding, running from a Coal Depot to the south of the site to the main London and North Eastern line to the north of the site. By 1974 the siding was marked as disused, and by 1980 it appears to have been removed.

The area surrounding the site was entirely fields in 1854, generally labelled as Bentley. At the very southern end of the Buffer Zone, Hall Lane was present, which by 1892 had been renamed to Arksey Lane. Stocksbridge Lane was also present, at the very eastern extreme of the buffer zone. The area remained largely unchanged until 1930, by which time substantial development had occurred to the west of the site, labelled New Village. The new housing butts the western site boundary and to the north were a football ground, cricket ground, tennis courts, club and a school. To the south of the site was a coal depot, from which the railway line present in the eastern area of the site originates. Little change occurred in the buffer zone up to 1980, with the area to the east of the site remaining undeveloped.

Survival:

A small siding of the mineral railway was located at the very western edge of the site, which, along with associated activity, may have caused some below ground disturbance on the site. As such, the potential for the survival of below ground heritage assets is currently unknown.



Significance:

Unknown.




The site remained largely unchanged from the 1980 map, although aerial photographs from 2002 show that White Rose Court had been constructed by this time, creating the eastern site boundary. A footpath cuts east-west across the site from White Rose Court to Balfour Road. The site is grassed which appears managed and not overgrown. Trees are present sporadically at the southern end of the site. Within the buffer zone, a small caravan site had been established to the east of the site by 2002. No features have been identified within the available Lidar data for the site.

Site assessment This site is the same as site 810


The SMR records one monument within the site and three monuments and one event within the buffer. The site and part of the buffer lie within the recorded area of Armthorpe medieval village. Further monuments within the buffer comprise the Church of St Mary and St Leonard to the south of the site, and the former location of a manor house dating back to the Norman period to the southeast. Archaeological evaluation on the opposite side of Mere Lane to the site revealed two pits, a posthole and a land surface of probable medieval date, in addition to post medieval structures and features.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. The Grade II listed Church of St Mary and St Leonard is located within the buffer, a short distance to the south of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded 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 villas/detached housing within the historic core of Armthorpe village, where few early buildings survive and the majority of the housing dates from the early 20th century onwards. The northern part of the site and north part of the buffer is classified as a primary school and its sporting facilities. The comprehensive school is first depicted on the 1931 OS map but is probably contemporary with the surrounding housing. The western part of the buffer is recorded as part of the large planned housing estate built to a geometric design to house colliery workers at the nearby Markham Main, probably in the 1920s. Two areas within the south west of the buffer are the aforementioned Markham Main Colliery and Markham Main Colliery Tip. The colliery ceased operation in 1996 and most of the buildings have been demolished. A small area within the buffer to the south of the site is defined as St Marys Church, a medieval foundation with additions and alterations made in 1884.

The site is currently a depot with sheds and a possible former house around the edges.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a narrow field running parallel with Mere Lane. A building was shown within the south end of the field. The site remained unchanged in 1948, but by 1961 depot buildings were shown around the southern and western edges of the site, the central area probably being parking.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed St Mary's Church to the south of the site, the Rectory and its small ornamental park and other houses or farms to the east of Mere Lane, and some buildings around Mere Cottage to the north. A pinfold and well were shown to the southeast of the church, and the settlement at Armthorpe continued east along Church Street. The surrounding area was fields. A house called White House was shown to the north of the church in 1892. By 1930, considerable development had occurred to the west and north, including housing, a school and the Tadcaster Arms Hotel, and railway sidings were shown to the west of the church. In 1961, a Roman Catholic church was shown to the north of the site, with an associated school built to the northwest by 1984. The railway sidings had been removed by 1993.

Survival:

The site has been used as a depot since at least the 1960s, though the buildings appear to have been located around the edges and are not likely to have basements. The car park surface appears to be raised above the level of the adjacent street, suggesting there is a moderate potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains within the majority of the site. It is currently unclear whether the building at the southern corner is of any historic interest.




Further archaeological investigations may be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 370 is identical to Site 810.


2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as bordered by brick walls/railings on all sides. The entire site is laid to concrete and brick sheds are present on the western edge of the site. Street View shows a two-storey building, probably a former house, at the southern corner of the site. It is rendered, and no obvious historic details are visible, so it may not be the building shown on the 1854 and later maps. Single storey brick buildings and sheds are shown along the western edge of the site, and the remainder is car park. The surface of the car park along the street frontage appears to be at least 0.5m higher than the surface of Mere Lane. No traces of archaeological features or anomalies are shown on the Lidar data.

An internal pebble floor thought to be contemporary with the building and an external cobbled surface (probably a surrounding yard) were also discovered. Pottery finds suggest use up until the 18th century.

Allocation Reference: 371 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Ashwood House, Adwick-le-Street



The SMR records no monuments or events within the site. Within the buffer, five monuments and one event is recorded. All the monuments are located to the north of the site, and include the grade II* listed church of St Lawrence, and a medieval churchyard cross, which is a Scheduled Monument and also Grade II listed. The site of Adwick Hall and garden and an area of post-medieval ridge and furrow on land now developed are also recorded. The recorded event is at the western edge of the buffer, and relates to a geophysical survey at the North Doncaster Technology College, which identified evidence for linear anomalies probably representing Iron Age and Romano-British field systems.

There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, the medieval cross in the churchyard of St Lawrence, noted above. Three listed building exist within the buffer: the grade II* listed church of St Lawrence and the grade II listed medieval cross, noted above, as well as a grade II listed cholera memorial also within the church.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, fragmentary evidence of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries are present to the southeast. Levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded within the site and throughout the buffer, though many of these areas, including the site, have been developed after the photographs were taken.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a small estate of high density planned housing (social housing), probably dating to the 1970s/1980s and preserving no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure landscape. Within the buffer, the eastern and part of the southern section is characterised as agglomerated field, comprising large land units created following amalgamation of formerly sinuous thin strip enclosures. The amalgamation appears to have been a steady process throughout the 20th century, leaving invisible legibility of historic field boundaries. The south and north of the buffer is characterised as a variety of housing projects, with fragmentary legibility of historic components. The western area of the buffer comprises a school and recreational parkland. The parkland contains the remains of Adwick Hall and Garden, the landscape of which is fragmentarily visible.

The site currently comprises a single plot of land containing numerous blocks of two-storey social housing. The east and south boundaries are marked with fencing, whilst the west and north boundaries are denoted by Doncaster Lane and Windmill Balk Lane.


On the 1851 OS map the site was part of a strip of land, with the current northern, southern and western site boundaries extant. In the northwest corner a small area of land was parcelled off, as was a slightly larger portion of land in the northeast corner. By 1892 these boundaries had been removed and the area amalgamated into the larger field, with a small building in the northeast corner. The building was still present in 1907 but had been removed by 1930. By 1961 the present eastern site boundary had been established, although the site remained empty. The 1982 map shows the site as fully developed with social housing, with numerous buildings, footpaths and a small cul-de-sac.

Within the buffer, the 1851 map depicted the basic road pattern, with strip fields to the south of the site and the centre of the town focused around Village Street, to the north of the site. A direction post lay just to the west of the site boundary. St Lawrence’s Church was shown to the north of the site, a Rectory to the northwest, and Adwick Hall to the north. By 1892, Adwick Hall had been demolished, and in 1906, a dovecote and a smithy were depicted just to the north of the site. By 1930, significant development had occurred along Doncaster Lane and Windmill Balk Lane with houses, schools and associated buildings. The 1961 map shows the Town Hall, possibly occupying the former Rectory. Within the southeast of the buffer, the area remained largely undeveloped, although many land boundaries had been removed.



Survival:

The construction of the 1970/1980s social housing on the site will have significantly truncated any below-ground archaeological remains, hence the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeology is considered to be negligible.


Further archaeological investigation is unlikely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show a collection of buildings, several paved footpaths and a small cul-de-sac on the site.

Possible crop marks are present in Lidar data within the buffer zone, although it seems likely that these relate to modern ploughing.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer. The findspot relates to a quern and part of a wooden shield, of unknown date, found in Askern Brickfield in 1931, whilst the event was a watching brief along a cable route, where a drain of probable 18th-century date was found within Campsall Country Park, associated with parkland surrounding Campsall Hall.

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 did not record any features within the site. Small quarries were recorded to the northwest of the site, and a large clay pit (Askern Brickfield) was recorded in the western part of the buffer. The extent of Askern Main Colliery was noted to the east of the site, and ridge and furrow remains were recorded as earthworks at the southwest edge of the buffer in the 1940s, and as cropmarks in the eastern side.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western side of the buffer as planned social housing, part of the colliery village associated with Askern Main and dating from the first half of the 20th century. Further character zones within the buffer include agglomerated fields to the north of the site, where boundary removal in the 20th century has led to a loss of the former pattern of strip fields enclosed from open field; and Askern Main Colliery site to the east.

The site is currently part of a grassed field, with a hedge boundary to the north. The western side of the site is bounded by housing along Avenue Road.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of a wide field with curving north and south boundaries. By 1893, the field had been subdivided. By 1961, it was part of a larger field to the east of housing. A footpath ran through the field in 1975, by which date the current boundaries had been established.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed fields to the south, on the same east-west alignment as the site but generally narrower and characteristic of strip fields. The area was called Askern Field, and Askern Field Plantation was depicted to the south of the site. To the northwest was an area called Langleys, at the southeast edge of Campsall Park. Chapel Lane ran through the southern part of the buffer. By 1932, Askern Main Colliery was shown to the east of the site, and housing associated with the colliery village was within the southern part of the buffer. Doncaster Coalite Works was shown in the eastern part of the buffer, south of the colliery, with further works buildings probably associated with colliery depicted to the northeast in 1956, when a clay pit was shown to the northwest. Housing had extended up to the western boundary of the site by 1960. Allotment gardens were shown to the south of the site in 1975, and a works had been built to the east.

Survival:

No sub-surface disturbance has been recorded within the site on historic mapping or aerial photographs. The potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.




The 2002 aerial photograph showed the site as a grassed field, with the area to the south and east having been stripped of topsoil following the demolition of colliery and works buildings. A footpath crossed the site on a northwest to southeast alignment. The site was unchanged in 2008, by which date the land to the south and east had regenerated as rough grass. No Lidar data is available for this site.

Site assessment


There are no SMR records within the site or the buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any

features within the site or the buffer zone.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the majority of the western

buffer zone as terraced housing, built for colliery workers at the adjacent Yorkshire Main pit. The estate

incorporates elements of overall planning in the layout of roads and provision of facilities. Prior to this the area

was agricultural and probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.

Additional character area within the buffer zone include further housing, allotments, a school, and industrial

estates.

The site is a single parcel of land, the vast majority of which is currently occupied with a single building. The site is

located at the northern end of New Edlington and is surrounded by modern development.


The site was shown on the 1854 map as part of a large single field. Edlington Lane, which forms the south-eastern

site boundary, was extant at this time. By 1930 significant development had occurred around the site, but the site

itself remained undeveloped. By 1962 a large single, narrow building had been constructed on the site, named

Barnburgh House. The site remained unchanged in 1994.

The buffer zone was mostly fields in 1854, with very little development. Edlington Lane was present to the

immediate east of the site and a small area of trees was present to the northeast of the site, named South Flat.

By 1893 some field boundaries had been removed, creating larger fields. Significant development had occurred in

the buffer zone by 1930, with houses to the northwest and a Yorkshire Main Colliery, mineral railway and a

market place to the southeast. Allotment gardens had been established to the north of the site. A billiards hall

and a picture theatres were immediately next to the site. By 1994 Yorkshire Main Colliery had been demolished .

Survival:

The site was part of enclosed fields which were established by 1854, but by 1962 housed a large building. The

foundations for this buildings are likely to have caused significant below-ground disturbance and as such, the

potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains on the site is considered to be low.



Significance:

Negligible.


Summary:

Twenty-first century aerial photographs show little change on the site from the 1994 map, with Barnburgh House

still present on the site.

There is no available Lidar data for the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events 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 probable prehistoric to Roman enclosure and ditched trackway or boundaries were recorded immediately to the east of the site, with fragmentary boundaries or trackway remains and a probable post-medieval boundary ditch recorded within south end of the buffer. Both of these sites have been built on since the photographs were taken. A trackway of probable Iron Age to Roman date was recorded at the northwest side of the buffer, within a current recreation ground to the south of site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a planned estate, inter-War social housing possibly associated with Hatfield Colliery, with no legibility of the previous enclosure of Hatfield Park. Other character zones within the buffer mainly relate to modern housing, both social and private developments within former enclosed land, and the suburban commercial core of Dunscroft. An area of undeveloped land retaining characteristics of planned enclosure following the disparkment of Hatfield Deer Park is located at the eastern edge of the buffer.

The site is currently an area of undeveloped green space between two housing estates.


The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of three fields, with drainage ditch running through the site, roughly from north to south in a sinuous curve. No changes were shown to this layout in 1906. By 1932, the current western boundary of the site had been created, with housing under construction to the immediate west. The drainage ditch was still shown, dividing the site into two. The 1962 map did not show the drainage ditch, depicting the site as one large field with a new east-west boundary creating a smaller field to the south. Three small sheds were shown within the fields. The 1972 map did not show the southern boundary, but showed a new boundary approximately on the line of the former drainage ditch, creating an eastern field that appeared to be associated with a new house fronting onto Hatfield Road. The western field seemed to be common ground, with gardens off Broadway opening onto it. By 1992, the boundary had been removed and the site was shown as a single field.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map shows the site as surrounded by fields. Some of the field boundaries were sinuous and in general the layout was fairly irregular, suggestive of pre-19th-century piecemeal enclosure. Park Lane or Thorne and Hatfield Road ran to the north of the site and the only building shown within the buffer was Hunters Cottage to the north of Park Lane. There were no substantive changes to this layout until 1932, when Broadway had been laid out with housing was under construction to either side of the road. Between 1962 and 1972, further new housing was constructed to the north and east of the site.

Survival:

The lack of substantial ground disturbance suggests that the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is moderate to high. Iron Age to Roman ditches and an enclosure have been recorded within the buffer, and there is the potential for the survival of associated remains to extend into the site.


Further archaeological investigations may be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.




The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as rough grassland, crossed by unofficial footpaths running between areas of housing. No structures were shown within the site. There is Lidar coverage for the southern two thirds of the site. The only visible features within the site are small hollows that could relate to small-scale surface extraction of sand or gravel. A linear hollow running the length of the site from north to south is shown on aerial photographs as a footpath.

Site assessment


The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded within the buffer

zone: the 17th-century Stone End House.

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. Within the buffer, cropmark features recorded included an Iron Age or Roman rectilinear

enclosure to the southwest of the site and a trackway probably of the same date at the western edge of the

buffer. Plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded as cropmarks within the field to the

northwest of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Surveyed Enclosure

(Parliamentary/Private). The enclosure pattern of this area (the open field heritage of this area is interpreted

from field name evidence) dates to the 1825 enclosure award, although boundary removal in the mid- to late

20th century has much enlarged the scale of the original units. There is fragmentary legibility of boundaries of the

former open fields. The northeast part of the site is within an area characterised as modern semi-detached

housing within the historic core of Stainforth. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Surveyed

Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private); Planned Estate (Social Housing); Playing Fields/Recreation ground; School;

Semi-detached Housing.

The site is currently a field to the west with, to the east, a small enclosure behind buildings fronting onto

Doncaster Road.


The 1853 map depicted the site as two narrow fields within an area marked Tofts. By 1893, the northeast part of

the site had been enclosed from the larger field and was occupied by a house, labelled Mount Pleasant in 1962,

with outbuildings or associated structures. The 1962 map showed this building as being accessed via short lane

leading from Doncaster Road. A possible orchard was shown in the field to the immediate south of Mount

Pleasant in 1962. Mount Pleasant and its outbuildings were no longer shown in 1984, when the northeast part of

the site was shown as a small enclosure behind houses fronting onto Doncaster Road. The field forming the

larger, western side of the site has remained largely unchanged since 1854.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed buildings to the immediate north of the northeast part of the site, on

the western edge of Stainforth village. The main core of the village was further to the northeast, but the pattern

of fields to the north of Doncaster Road suggests that this land was tofts associated with medieval or early post-

medieval settlement along the road frontage. The land to the south, within which the site is located, is labelled

both Tofts and Mill Field, suggesting at least part of this area formed one of the medieval open fields of the

village. A post windmill was located at the west side of the buffer, north of Doncaster Road. By 1932, housing

development was shown at the eastern edge of the buffer, along with a police station, though the buildings to

the north of the site were mainly unchanged. Stainforth County Schools and a playing field were shown to the

east of the site on the 1962 OS map, with a recreation ground to the south in 1984.

Survival:

The western field within the site has been drained and in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century,

which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains. The potential for the survival of buried

archaeology below the plough zone is considered to be moderate to high. Within the northeast part of the site,

the construction of the late 19th-century house and outbuildings is likely to have disturbed sub-surface deposits

across most of this area. The potential for the survival of earlier features and deposits in this area is low, though

buried remains associated with the buildings themselves may survive. Iron Age to Roman cropmarks have been

recorded within the buffer and such remains could continue into the site.





Significance:

Unknown. Buried remains associated with Mount Pleasant and its outbuildings are likely to be considered to be

of Local significance.


Summary:

Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the western part of the site as an arable field, with the northeast

part being a grassed area to the south of buildings fronting onto Doncaster Road. This was shown as rough grass

by 2009. A track leads through the site from Doncaster Road to a possible bike track to the east of the site. The

buildings to the north of the site are mainly late 20th-century in date, although a possible 19th-century barn or

coach house stands to the rear of one of the houses. Cropmark features are visible in a field to the north of the

site on a 2009 aerial photograph, comprising a wide track or droveway, aligned east to west and continuing into

fields to the west, and faint but possible field boundaries or enclosures adjacent to the trackway. The cropmarks

in the field to the north of the site were not recorded in the Magnesian Limestone aerial mapping project, though

the trackway to the west was. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Five monuments and two events are recorded in the buffer: Mexborough Pottery Works and an associated pottery kiln, Emerys Pottery Works, the Don Glass Works and the New Don Glass Works, with two archaeological excavations at the latter.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Twentieth-century air raid shelters were recorded within the buffer.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Commercial Core Suburban with fragmentary legibility of the 19th-century residential form. Character zones within the buffer are defined as terraced Housing, Private Housing Estate, Allotments, Semi-detached Housing, Nursing Home/Almshouse, Reclaimed Coal Mine, Playing Fields/Recreation Ground, Planned Estate (Social Housing), Ring Road/By-pass, Other Industry, Commercial Core Urban and Shopping Centre.

The site is currently used as car parks.


The site was shown as housing, gardens and yards on the 1854 OS map. Terraced housing within the site was labelled ‘Sarah Street’ in 1892. Large yards stood to the rear of the houses at that date. Further housing, including Charles Street, had been constructed within the site by 1903. While little change was shown within the site on the 1958 OS map, the houses had been demolished by 1975, when the land was in use as a car park. No changes were shown within the site on the 1988 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map including Salem Chapel, a ‘British School’, the Masons’ Arms public house, Mexborough Iron Works, the Don Iron Works and the Dove and Dearne Canal. South Yorkshire Fire Clay Works and an associated clay pit were marked within the buffer on the 1892 OS map, with numerous housing developments, several public houses, a chapel, a quarry and the Phoenix Glass Works. Further housing had been built by 1903, with the Gospel Union Hall and the Mexborough Brick Works also marked at that date. A tram line, a bank, a school and a ‘Picture Palace’ were shown on the 1930 OS map, with the Empress Rooms, the Empire Cinema and a warehouse shown in 1958. The A6203 by-pass, a telephone exchange, a clothing factory, a Working Mens’ Club, a Mission Hall, detached housing, several clubs and warehouses and a mineral water factory were marked on the 1971 OS map. Allotments and a market place were shown on the 1988 map.

Survival:

Housing stood within the site from at least 1855 and had expanded to occupy the majority of the site by 1903. The site has not been redeveloped since the demolition of the housing during the mid-20th century. The potential for buried archaeological remains associated with these properties is high. These remains may include footings, foundations, the bases of walls and any cellars or basements.



Significance:

Remains associated with the terraced housing are considered to be of Local archaeological significance.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs shows the site as car parks. There is no lidar data for this site.

Site assessment


One monument is recorded within the site, extending throughout the buffer. This is the western edge of the

Doncaster Pottery Production Area, where frequent remains of pottery kilns associated with the Roman pottery

industry have been found. A further four monuments, one findspot and three events are listed within the buffer.

The findspot is of a Roman brooch, to the north of the site, whilst the monuments included excavated Roman

pottery kilns and a well, as well as contemporary domestic activity and fields, and a medieval church. The events

included a geophysical survey on the site of a disused school to the west of the site, which did not show evidence

of archaeological remains, followed by excavation that revealed a range of features relating to Roman pottery

production and settlement. At the southern edge of the buffer, archaeological monitoring along a pipeline route

is recorded, with Roman remains found at several sites along the route.

No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or buffer. One grade II* listed building, the medieval

church of St Wilfred, is located at the eastern edge of 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.

Historic Landscape Characterisation assesses the site as within an area of private housing, in an area probably

enclosed from open fields in 1779. Roman pottery kilns were excavated in the early 1950s ahead of the

construction of the housing estate and form an important regional group. Legibility of the former landscape is

invisible. Two plantations lie within the northern part of the buffer. Civic and Municipal buildings make up the

northern part of the buffer including a library, social club, churches, medical centres and some shops. They

generally have an institutional character being facilities built for the estate.

The site currently comprises green space between areas of modern housing.


The 1854 OS map depicted the site as part of two fields bordered by hedgerow. By 1966 the site was shown as

undeveloped green-space between the blocks of housing, crossed by footpaths.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicts Church and Bedlam plantation lie to the north of the site, and St

Wilfred’s Church and associated vicarage to the east. By 1955, small-scale housing development was depicted

within the buffer, and blocks of housing began to appear to the south of Middleham Road (directly north of the

site) and Wensley Crescent (directly south of the site) by 1966. The existing layout of the area directly around the

site and within the buffer had been established by 1970.

Survival:

The site lies within an area of housing development, but has remained an open green space and may have had

relatively little sub-surface disturbance associated with the development. The potential for survival of unrecorded

buried archaeology is considered to be moderate. This is also suggested by significant archaeological remains that

were recorded on the site of a school, directly to the west of the site, including remains associated with the

Roman pottery industry.


Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with the Roman pottery industry and associated settlement could be of Local to

Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.




Summary: The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site to be a small area of manicured grassland with

concrete pathways and occasional mature and young trees. It is likely this area is used by residents of the

surrounding houses for recreational purposes. Lidar data shows the footpaths running across the site, and a more

ephemeral linear hollow running across the site from the northeast to southwest. This is on the same route as a

boundary to the rear of housing northeast of the site, and it may also be the line of the former field boundary

shown in 1854. A series of small hollows run along its route.

Site Name: Harpenden Drive, Dunscroft

Area (Ha): 1.84



Site assessment


The SMR records no events or monuments within the site. Within the buffer, five individual findspots are

recorded, though two records appear to relate to the same 2nd

-century Roman coin found in a garden to the west

of the site. Two findspots of Roman pottery also come from gardens off Broadway, whilst a Romano-British

beehive quern was found towards the northern edge of 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 does not record any

features within the site. Within the buffer, fragmentary traces of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries are present

to the northeast and southwest of the site.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as public parkland, an area of

undeveloped land that lies between 20th-century housing developments. Within this area are important

fragments of an older landscape, notably a historic hedgerow depicted on the 1825 enclosure plan and possibly

reflecting the southern edge of the medieval Hatfield Deer Park. Character types within the buffer comprise a

variety of modern private and social housing and schools. There is little legibility of former landscape types within

the buffer due to the concentration of modern development.

The site currently comprises an irregular strip of land in between several streets of modern housing

development. Harpenden Drive runs through the site at one point. The boundary around most of the site is

marked with hedgerows and mature trees, though in some areas it is unenclosed.


The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as fields, with boundaries marked by hedgerows. A track ran east-west

through the southern part of the site, labelled Bridle Road, and merges with Coppice Lane to the east; these lanes

may mark the southern edge of a former medieval deer park. The western boundary of the site was created in

1932, when housing was built along Broadway, with the site shown as a narrow strip left between the gardens

and the field boundaries to the east. Between 1974 and 1992, housing was under construction to the immediate

south of the site, and this development eventually established the current southern boundary of the site.

Within the buffer zone, the 1854 OS map showed the area to be fields, with very little development. A pump

shed was present to the northwest of the site. There were few changes until 1930, when Broadway had been laid

out and houses to either side of it were built or under construction. By 1960, the Miner’s Welfare Recreation

Ground had been constructed to the north of the site, with a football ground and tennis courts. By 1982, housing

developments to the east and south of the site had begun, with Harpenden Drive laid out and some structures

present. This development continued, and by 2002, the entire eastern and southern sides of the site had also

been fully developed.

Survival:

The site has probably been under cultivation in the past, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-

ground remains through truncation; and development and insertion of services in the surrounding area may also

have caused some disturbance within the area. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is

currently unknown. The possible deer park boundary does not appear to continue through the southern part of

the site.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.




Summary:

Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as an irregular area of land, surrounded by modern

housing. A road from the modern housing estate runs through the site at the southern end. Lidar coverage shows

uneven ground at the north end of the site, but no clear earthwork features.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site or buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Air raid shelters were plotted at the northwest edge of the buffer from a 1948 photograph.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northeast part of the buffer as Rossington Tornedale School, built in the mid-20th century on former agricultural land that may have been part of a deer park in the medieval period, based on cartographic and field-name evidence. It is possible that Gattison Lane marks part of the former park boundary, which may have been associated with the Draw Dikes manor. Further character zones within the buffer comprise another school to the northwest and a sports ground to the north, with the remainder of the buffer composed of planned social housing estates in New Rossington, developed from the early 20th century onwards as a colliery village associated with Rossington Main Colliery.

The site is currently a playing field adjacent to a school.


The 1854 OS map shows the site as part of an area of narrow strip fields with curving boundaries suggestive of enclosure from open field. The area was called Park Field. By 1962, the current north, west and south boundaries of the site were established. The 1976 map showed the site as part of playing fields associated with the school to the east.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicted Gattison Gate (now Lane) to the southeast of the site, Grange Lane bridle road to the northwest and West End Lane to the north. The Great Northern Railway line ran through the northeast part of the buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, with a station to the east of the line. The historic core of Rossington was located to the northeast of the railway, just outside the northeast edge of the buffer. The remainder of the buffer was strip fields. By 1930, the colliery village of New Rossington was depicted to the west of the site, with schools shown at the northwest edge of the buffer and sports grounds and miner's welfare hall to the north. By 1948, housing was under construction to the immediate north of the site. Tornedale Primary School was shown to the east of the site in 1962, and a further school had been built to the north by 1976. An electrical engineering works was shown at the north edge of the buffer at that date. Gattison House was shown to the east of the site by 1989.

Survival:

The site has been in use as a school playing field since at least the 1970s, and was previously a field. There does not appear to have been much landscaping of the site to make the playing field, therefore the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. No monuments have been recorded within the buffer, but Romano-British field system remains have been excavated a short distance to the southeast of the buffer, and there is the potential for similar remains to extend into the site.


Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 382 is almost identical to Site 429.




The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site as a school playing field, with well-maintained grass coverage. Housing surrounds the north, west and south sides, with schools to the east and northeast. By 2012, the site was separated from the school grounds by a new boundary and it is unclear if remains in use as a playing field. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR does not record any features within the site or buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Modern Agglomerated Fields, comprising large fields produced by the loss of field boundaries during the 20th century, with no legibility of earlier landscape types. Character areas within the buffer include further Modern Agglomerated Fields, and 20th-century residential development, allotment gardens and playing fields, with no legibility of former landscape types. The steeply sloping unenclosed land of Conisbrough Crags extends into the buffer zone.

The majority of the site was in agricultural use from at between at least 1854 and the mid-20th century, and is currently rough scrub and maintained grassland, possibly a playing area.


No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire or the 1841 Ordnance Survey map. The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map, with few changes occurring within the site by 1966. The 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1973.

Within the buffer zone, Denaby Thicks was shown with a sandstone quarry at its northeast end on the 1841 OS map. The road from Denaby ran through the Thicks at that date. An old gravel pit was marked in the northern part of the buffer in 1892, by which time the sandstone quarry was disused. The Flameless Explosives Works were shown in the western part of the buffer zone in 1892, when several explosives magazines, a reservoir and a works’ waggonway were shown. Housing development had occurred in the east of the buffer by 1930. A munitions factory was constructed on the site of the former explosives works during the Second World War. While this remained extant in 1973, much of its site was cleared in the 1980s. Further housing development occurred in the buffer zone during this period.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance across the site, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


Further archaeological assessment may be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as a mixture of maintained and rough grassland with a belt of trees along the southeast side of the site and the northwest half becoming progressively more wooded with self-seeded trees. From 2008 onwards, a small skate park has been located in the southern part of the site, with concrete ramps. No Lidar coverage is available for the site.

There are no SMR records within the site or the buffer zone.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site or the buffer zone.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and some of the eastern and southern buffer zone as part of a planned estate, mostly of short terraced blocks, possibly of modular design. Prior to this the area was agricultural and probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion, although legibility of the former landscape is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include surveyed enclosure, agglomerated fields, regenerated scrubland, a housing estate and an artificial lake.

Two areas of historic landfill exist at the northern end of the buffer zone, a disused railway line at Common Road and Snake Lane, and Edlington Brickworks Quarry. No further information is given for these records.

The site is an irregular parcel of land located to the west of New Edlington.


The site was part of a field on the 1854 map. Howbeck’s Dike was extant by this time, creating the western and northern site boundaries. By 1983, the southern site boundary had been created, as had the southern end of the eastern boundary, with the construction of housing to the south and east of the site. There was no change on the 1994 map, but aerial photographs from 2002 show that the remaining eastern site boundary had been created by this time, with the expansion of the existing housing estate to the east of the site.

In 1854 the area surrounding the site to the east was fields, and to the west predominantly a large open space, named Conisbrough Common. By 1893 many field boundaries had been removed at the eastern end of the buffer zone, and Conisbrough Common to the west had been largely divided into straight, regular fields. By 1930 the LNER railway line had been constructed to the north of the site, although this had been removed by 1983. By 1956 a housing estate had been built to the northeast of the site, with allotment gardens and a school to the east of the site. By 1962 a clay pit was present to the northwest of the site, which by 1972 was a pond. Houses and a school had been established to the east of the site by 1962. By 1972, houses had been built to the immediate east of the site with the establishment of Howbeck Drive. By 1982, these houses had spread significantly to the south.

Survival:

No development or significant ground disturbance has been recorded within the site. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.




Aerial photographs show that by 2002 the eastern boundary of the site had been fully established, with the extension of the housing estate to the east of the site extended slightly and forming the boundary. The site is currently scrubland. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. One monument and three events are recorded in the buffer zone. The monument is the suggested course of the Roman road from Brough to Doncaster via Templeborough. The events comprised a geophysical survey and an archaeological evaluation off Oswin Avenue, the latter recorded as a monument as well as an event. No archaeological features were revealed.

There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. One Grade II listed building, a monument is recorded in the northern part of the buffer.


The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a Private Housing Estate. Until recently, this area was mostly agricultural in character, with some small-scale quarrying. The character is now dominated by the recent housing developments. Character zones within the buffer comprise Public Park, School, Terraced Housing, Train/Depot Sidings, Semi-Detached Housing, Low Rise Flats and Planned Estate (Social Housing).

The site is currently an area of rough grassland between the railway line and modern housing.


The site was fields at the time of the 1854 OS map, but was marked ‘Old Quarry’ on the 1892 map and ‘Stones’ from 1902 to 1956. Trees were shown within the site on the 1962 OS map. No changes were shown in 1967, but the site had been infilled and was shown as open land on the 1984 OS map.

Features shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map include fields, the Yorkshire Doncaster & Goole Railway line, Hexmoor Lane, a pinfold, a manor house, Little Moor Lane, probable strip fields, St. John’s Nursery and Green Field Lane. Housing, orchards, a church and a school were shown on the 1892 map, with further housing and a wagon works on 1903. Extensive housing development had taken place within the buffer by 1930, with railway sidings and allotments also shown. A new school was marked on the 1960 map, with a transport depot, warehousing, playing fields and flats shown in 1980. A further school was marked on the 1984 OS map.

Survival:

The 19th-century quarry will have destroyed any archaeological remains within its footprint.


Further archaeological investigation is not likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the southwest part of the site as a grassed plot, with the northeast part of the site as rough scrub, with areas of vegetation overgrowth and trees. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One event is recorded within the buffer, an evaluation at Station Road, Stainforth, which revealed evidence for extensive ground disturbance reinstated with industrial material.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One listed building is located within the buffer zone, a war memorial at Stainforth Cemetery.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Probable Iron Age to Roman ditches forming the remains of a fragmentary field system were recorded as cropmarks within the buffer to the southwest of site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as a planned estate of social housing, part of Hatfield model village constructed in the 1930s to house miners working at Hatfield Colliery. Further character zones within the buffer include fields enclosed from former open fields as part of the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure award, with 20th-century boundary loss leading to only fragmentary visibility of the Enclosure landscape, as well as modern housing and municipal buildings, a cemetery, allotments and sports grounds.

The site was occupied by 1930s housing until after 2003, but had been cleared by 2008 and is currently rough ground.


The 1853 OS map shows the site as part of two rectangular fields. The area was named Old Field, which is probably the name of the medieval open field from which the smaller fields were enclosed. By 1893, the site had been combined into one field. The 1932 map showed housing under construction within the site, with Kingsway, Queen's Crescent, Duke Street and Lord Street laid out in an H-shaped pattern, with houses alongside the roads. No substantial changes to this layout were shown by 1992.

Within the buffer, the 1853 map showed the site as surrounded by fields of similar layout, with Old Field Road shown to the north and the Stainforth and Hatfield Road to the east (later Church Road). To the south of the site was an area of more irregular enclosure, within a curving boundary that may represent earlier piecemeal enclosure. To the east of Church Road were sand and gravel pits and a windmill. By 1892, a small cemetery and mortuary chapel were shown to the north of Old Field Lane, and the sand and gravel pits were disused. Housing was shown within and to the east of the site in 1932, with the former sand pit still shown as a hollow, surrounded by housing at Stanley Gardens. Fields were still shown to the west of the site. By 1948, housing was under construction to the west of the site, shown in more detail in 1962, when a greyhound stadium was shown within the southern part of the buffer and the former sand pit had been developed. The cemetery to the north had also expanded westwards by that date. The greyhound track had been demolished by 1992.

Survival:

The construction of the 1930s housing and insertion of associated services is likely to have disturbed sub-surface deposits within the majority of the site. Small areas of undisturbed ground may survive, but these will be isolated and fragmentary. The potential for the survival of archaeological remains is considered to be low.


No further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Negligible.




The 2002 and 2003 aerial photographs showed the site occupied by housing, both semi-detached and blocks of four houses, fronting onto Kingsway, Queen's Crescent, Lord Street and Duke Street. The houses had small gardens to the front and rear. By 2008, all the houses had been cleared apart from one at the corner of Kingsway and Queen's Crescent, with the rest of the site shown as rough grass, apart from the road network which remained unchanged. The remaining house was demolished by 2015. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Allocation Reference: 388 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Kirton Lane, Stainforth



The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. One findspot, one monument and two events are recorded in the buffer zone: a Roman coin; an Iron Age-Roman field system; a sedimentological investigation; and a programme of casual fieldwalking.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded levelled ridge and furrow within the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as School, because of its proximity to Kirton Lane Primary. This was built between 1950 and 1967, probably in association with the adjacent social housing estate. No legibility of the earlier landscape of this area is preserved within this development. Character areas within the buffer zone are recorded as School; Agglomerated Fields; Deep Shaft Coal Mine; Planned Estate (Social Housing); and Semi-detached Housing.


The site was shown as part of a field north of Kirton Lane on the 1853 OS map. Between 1906 and 1932, four rows of terraced housing were shown within the western half of the site, accessed via two roads leading north from Kirton Lane. There were seven houses in each row, making a total of 28 houses. The eastern part of the site was still a field at that date. Between 1967 and 1984, the housing had been cleared and the site was shown as a field to the east of a school.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including fields, field boundaries, land drains, Kirton Lane, Bootham Lane, Polton Toft Road, Potmancroft Lane, Ramskir Lane and Nut Fields. Stainforth Drain was marked on the 1892 OS map. A sewage pumping station, the Hatfield Colliery aerial ropeway and part of the mine’s spoilheap were shown within the buffer on the 1948 OS map. Further housing had been built by 1962, while two large refuse tips had been established to the south of Kirton Lane by that date. The New Park estate was shown on the 1975 OS map, with a school shown on the 1984 map.

Survival:

The western half of the site was developed with terraced housing by 1932, and cleared by 1984. The construction and clearance of the housing is likely to have damaged any sub-surface remains in this area, and the archaeological potential is considered to be low. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains in the eastern part of the site is considered to be moderate, but the limited size of this potentially undisturbed area does not affect the overall assessment of the site as having a low archaeological potential.



Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as a grassed plot, with faint parch marks in the grass on the 2002 and 2009 coverage showing evidence for the former housing in the western half. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

Geophysical surveys identified evidence for enclosures, field boundaries and discrete features across a wide area on either side of a large colliery spoil heap, which is likely to overlie further remains. Trial trenching to the west of the spoil heap recorded settlement features, field boundaries, post-holes, gullies and pits, along with associated pottery indicating a 2nd-3rd century date for the main phase of activity. A few sherds of Iron Age pottery suggest an earlier origin, though the nature of this earlier phase is yet to be established.

Geophysical survey in 2009 identified extensive remains of settlement and agricultural features, probably of Romano-British date. Evaluation in 2014 identified Romano-British features including possible boundary ditches, gullies, pits and post-holes and associated pottery. Further geophysical survey in 2014 on an area east of Ramskir Lane identified a continuation of settlement and agricultural features into this area.

Allocation Reference: 389 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Layden Drive (Small Site), Scawsby



The SMR records one monument and one event within the site and five monuments and three events within the buffer. Within the site and over the western side of the buffer is an Iron Age to Roman settlement site recorded as cropmarks. Geophysical survey and excavation carried out at Emley Drive covers the southeast part of the site and the eastern buffer. No archaeological features were encountered. Other monuments within the buffer consist of the Roman Ridge road, running northwest from Doncaster, located along the northern edge of the site, two undated enclosures plus other features in the northeast of the buffer and the findspot of abraded pottery found during the evaluation to the east of the site. Two further events have taken place within the buffer; measured and photographic survey of archaeological and modern features along the Roman ridge in addition to seven trial trenches along a section of the ridge.

One Scheduled Monument, the Roman Ridge Roman road lies directly north of the site, within the buffer. The Scheduled area extends into the edge of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of an Iron Age to Roman trackway within the buffer west of the site, and two Iron Age to Roman rectilinear enclosures and field boundaries; one in the north of the buffer and one on the western edge.

The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site as predominantly within an area of agglomerated fields. The fields are recorded as large fields around Scawsby Village which are likely to represent the piecemeal enclosure of former open fields. No legibility of earlier field patterns remain. The northern buffer is also recorded as agglomerated fields formerly known as Scawthorpe, Broad Axe and High Fields. The fields were agglomerated during the second half of the twentieth century by the removal of surveyed and probably parliamentary subdivisions. The place-name evidence of this area points towards an 'open field' heritage. To the south and west of the site are a School, and Emley Drive planned housing estate.


The 1851 OS map shows the site to be in an area of agglomerated fields, with the Roman Ridge Roman road running as a bridleway across the north edge of the site. By 1948 housing development has begun to the east of the site which has spread further to the south by 1966. The 1982 map shows that Scawsby Rosedale School has been built and Emley Drive housing estate is in its initial phases.

Survival:

The site has been part of a field since at least 1851, and is likely to have been cultivated, which could have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. The Roman Ridge road, a Scheduled Monument, runs across the northern edge of the site, with the Scheduled area extending into the site, and Iron Age to Roman activity has been recorded within the buffer, though an evaluation at the eastern edge of the site did not recover any archaeological remains.



Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on its extent, nature and condition. The Roman Ridge is a Scheduled Monument, of National significance.

The SMR does not record any features within the site. Six monuments and three events are recorded within the buffer. Three of the monuments relate to the Roman Ridge road, running northwest from Doncaster, located along the northern edge of the site. An Iron Age to Roman settlement site was recorded as cropmarks at the western edge of the buffer; two undated enclosures plus other features are recorded as cropmarks on the northern edge of the buffer and abraded pottery was found during the evaluation to the west of the site. Three events have taken place within the buffer; two associated with the Roman road, including a survey of its route and trial trenches that identified part of a probable road surface within the area immediately adjacent to the site. Geophysical survey and excavation were carried out at Emley Drive to the west of the site but no archaeological features were encountered.

One Scheduled Monument, the Roman Ridge Roman road lies directly north of the site, within the buffer. The Scheduled area extends into the edge of the site. There are no listed buildings within the site or buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of a prehistoric to Roman trackway within the buffer directly east of the site, an Iron Age to Roman rectilinear enclosure and field boundaries in the north of the buffer and post medieval ridge and furrow in the south.

The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the site and the south west of the buffer as being within the area of Scawsby Rosedale School. The south and eastern area comprises Emley Drive planned housing estate. No legibility of historic landscape features are visible in these areas. In the buffer to the north and far west of the site is an area of agglomerated fields formerly known as Scawthorpe, Broad Axe and High Fields. The fields were agglomerated during the second half of the 20th century by the removal of probable Parliamentary Enclosure subdivisions. The place-name evidence of this area points towards an 'open field' heritage.

The site is currently a small field with grass coverage, with housing to the west and south.


The 1851 OS map shows the site as part of an area of fields, with the Roman Ridge Roman road running along the north of the site as a bridleway. The field directly to the northeast of the site was named Broad Axe Field. By 1948 housing development had begun to the east of the site, extending further to the south by 1966. The 1982 map shows Scawsby Rosedale School and the initial phase of development of the Emley Drive housing estate.

Survival:

The site has been part of a field since at least 1851, and is likely to have been cultivated, which could have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. The Roman Ridge road, a Scheduled Monument, runs along the northern edge of the site, with the Scheduled area extending into the site, and Iron Age to Roman activity has been recorded within the buffer, though an evaluation to the west of the site did not recover any archaeological remains.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. The impact of development on the setting of the Roman Ridge Roman road will also need to be considered.

Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on its extent, nature and condition. The Roman Ridge is a Scheduled Monument, of National significance.

Note: Site 390 is the same as Site 811.




The 2002-2015 aerial photography shows the site as a small field predominantly grass covered, with a few mature trees. LiDAR data does not show any archaeological features or anomalies within the site.

Allocation Reference: 391 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Leger Way, Wheatley



The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site or the buffer zone.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer.


The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Playing Fields, formerly attached to Wheatley Hills School. There is no legibility of the former fields enclosed by parliamentary award from Wheatley Common. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Golf Course, Ancient Woodland, Public Park, Planned Estate (Social Housing) and Business Park.

Historic landfill data records a former tip to the northwest of the site, recorded as Leger Way/Thorne Road, with the only information being that it was used for inert commercial waste.

The site currently comprises a field and an area of gardens to the north of Wheatley Golf Course. It is bounded to the north by the Shaw Wood Way business park and to the west by Leger Way.


The site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. A footpath was shown crossing the site from Hags Wood to Hills Lane on the 1892 map. Two small detached buildings stood in the southwest part of the site in 1906, with a third added by 1930. Their function is unknown. Only one of these buildings remained in 1937. A detached building had been constructed to the east by that date. Wheatley Hills Secondary School had been built in the southwest part of the site by 1961. Embankments marked around the school indicate that the land had been landscaped in association with the school’s construction. No changes were shown within the site on the 1983 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Sandall Field Brick and Tile Yard, a sand pit, Thorne Road, Shaw Lane, Hills Lane, Sandhole Plantation and Long Plantation. A sewage reservoir was marked in the western part of the buffer on the 1894 map. The brick and tile works were disused by 1937. The 19th-century sand pit was marked ‘old quarry’ on the 1956 OS map. Housing, a boating lake, a nursery and several works buildings were shown in 1982, with further housing and a miniature golf course by 1993.

Survival:

The site was fields between 1854 and 1956 and had been redeveloped as a school and its playing field by 1961. Landscaping works associated with this development may, depending on the depths of the groundworks, have impacted on any buried archaeological remains. Lidar data suggests that landscaping of the site included the raising of ground levels on the northern side of the playing field and school site, which may have sealed any archaeological remains in this area. The potential for the preservation of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is currently unknown.



Significance:

Unknown.

Note: site 391 covers the same area as site 432.




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

Site assessment


The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. One monument and three events are

recorded within the buffer. Excavation at West Moor Park revealed that the area is characterised by an

agricultural and industrial Romano-British landscape of enclosures, 'brickwork plan' field systems, hearths,

ovens/kilns, a well and cremations. This rural community was involved in livestock husbandry, cereal production,

coppicing and ironworking. The origins of the landscape are likely to be late Iron Age in date but activity is

concentrated in the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Further excavation in the southwest corner revealed similar features

identified as an area of light industrial activity dating to the 1st to 4th

centuries AD. Archaeological evaluation at

Rand’s Lane in the south of the buffer did record any archaeological features.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are located within the site or the buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence

of numerous Iron Age field boundary ditches within the buffer. One of these also runs across the middle of the

site.

The Historic Landscape Characterisation records the character of the site and part of the buffer as the surveyed

enclosure of Long Sandall Common, enclosed by Parliamentary award in 1785, with partial legibility of the former

common edges. The eastern edge of the buffer are recorded as used for commercial purposes comprising large

shed type distribution centres built adjacent to the M18. The west of the buffer is recorded as a Planned Social

Housing Estate, built to a geometric design to house colliery workers at the nearby Markham Main. The colliery

began production in 1924 and the housing is probably contemporary with this. The southern area of the buffer is

an industrial estate containing mixed commercial and industrial premises which is first depicted on the 1982 OS

map.

The site is currently a grassed field bounded to the south by Mercel Avenue and to the east by Rands Lane. A

small playground is located in the north part of the site.


The 1854 OS map shows the site within an area of piecemeal enclosure and strip fields which are thought to have

been enclosed by Parliamentary award in 1785. The area was known as ‘The Lings’. There were no changes to

the field boundaries or surrounding area until 1968 when the large scale housing development of Armthorpe

began to encroach on The Lings from the southwest. By 1981, the A630 and Hatfield Lane had been constructed.

Survival:

The site has been fields since at least 1854, apart from a brief period of use of half the site as a compound.

Ploughing may have truncated sub-surface archaeological features but deep ground disturbance within the site is

limited. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the level impacted by ploughing is

therefore considered to be high. A field boundary ditch of probable Iron Age to Roman date has been recorded

within the site as a cropmark, and further remains could survive within the site.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required is the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and associated activity could be of Local to Regional

archaeological significance depending on their nature, extent and condition.




Summary:

2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as an area of open grassland boarded by hedgerow to the north and

east and Mercel Avenue to the south. The field has a small children’s play area in the north. By 2008 what

appears to be a site compound had been established on the western side of the site, probably associated with

construction at the nearby distribution centre. The area appeared to be concrete surfaced, without any

permanent structures, and the site had been restored to grassland by 2015. LiDAR data does not show any

archaeological features or anomalies within the site.

Allocation Reference: 395 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Weston Road / Newbolt Plots, Balby



There are no SMR records within the site itself. One event is recorded at the very north-eastern edge of the buffer zone, comprising trial trenching that uncovered a ring ditch and a V-shaped ditch.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records post-medieval ridge and furrow at the north-eastern end of the site, extending into the north-eastern end of the buffer zone; however, the majority of this area has since been developed.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the south-western end of the site as part of a planned estate of social housing comprising mainly semi-detached properties with roads named after poets. Prior to this, the area was agricultural, enclosed by parliamentary award from Balby Common in 1785. The north-eastern end of the site is also part of the estate, but was formerly strip fields, suggesting consolidation from former open fields. Legibility of the former landscape characters is invisible. Further character types within the buffer zone include drained wetland, utilities, regenerated scrubland, and school and hospital complexes.

The site comprises six small isolated plots within a modern housing estate. The southernmost plot is located off Newbolt Road, with the northernmost plot located off Herrick Gardens.


In 1854 the site was located with an area of fields. Cuckoo Lane/Common Lane ran through the centre of the site on an east-west alignment. The area to the north of the site was named Wood Field, and that to the south was named Balby Common. By 1930 Cuckoo Lane/Common Lane had been renamed Weston Road. By 1956 the two plots at the north-eastern end of the site contained housing, at 2-4 Herrick Gardens, and 13-15 Herrick Gardens, both a pair of semi-detached houses. By 1959 the four plots at the south-western end of the site had also been developed, comprising a semi-detached structure at 43-45 Newbolt Road; four terraced houses at 11-17 Stevenson Road; four terraced houses at 2-8 Dryden Road; and three terraced houses at 82-86 Weston Road. By 1980 some of the structures within the plot on Dryden Road had been demolished, possibly number 4, although this is unclear from the map detail. The remaining plots still contained all of their houses at this time, and this remained so on the 1992 map.

Within the buffer zone, St Catherine’s was located to the south-west of the site in 1854, which appears to be a private residence and parkland, with plantation denoting the parkland boundary to the north and west. The remainder of the buffer zone is fields, labelled as Balby Common to the south and Wood Field to the north. By 1892 Balby Sewage Works had been constructed to the north of the site, which by 1930 had been extended considerably. A contagious diseases hospital had been built to the east of the site by 1902. Houses had begun to appear to the north-west of the site by 1930, with the construction of Wordsworth Avenue and surrounding roads. By 1937 numerous ancillary buildings had been added to St Catherine’s, which by this time was labelled as a certified institution. By 1956 the area to the north of the site was heavily developed with housing, followed by much of the southern area by 1959, by which time the contagious diseases hospital had become the Woodfield Community Centre. By 1970 Woodfield High School had been built to the south of this, which by 1980 was named Balby Carr School. By 1972 Loversall Hospital had been built to the south-east of the site.

Survival:

Each of the six plots which make up the site were developed with semi-detached or terraced housing between the 1930s and 1950s. The potential for the survival of unrecorded below-ground archaeological remains on the site is considered to be low.





Significance:

Negligible.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show that between 1992 and 2002 all of the six plots had been cleared of the previous housing, and were empty. The plots now all contain managed grassland. No earthworks of archaeological interest have been identified on the site within the available Lidar data.

The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site. Two events are recorded in the buffer zone, both evaluations which did not record any significant archaeological remains.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded cropmark ridge and furrow remains within the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, depicted as newly laid out allotments on the 1825 enclosure plan. The present boundaries are largely defined by 19th-century drainage layout. There is no legibility of former landscapes. Character zones within the buffer zone comprise Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing) and Modern Distribution Centre.

The site has been in agricultural use since at least 1825 and remains undeveloped land at the present day.


The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne Enclosure map. No changes were shown within the site on Ordnance Survey maps produced from 1854 onwards.

Within the buffer zone, Casson’s Road and High Trod Road, the present-day North Eastern Road, were shown in 1854, with the Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway constructed to the west of the site by 1892. A textile factory and an engineering works were shown in the buffer zone by 1962, while housing developments took place between 1956 and 1971.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show this site as rough grassland. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. One monument is recorded in the buffer zone: the course of the Roman road from Brough to Doncaster via Templeborough.

There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. One Grade II listed building is recorded in the buffer.


The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as falling within three character zones. The central area is characterised as a private housing estate, first depicted on the 1930 OS map. The southwest end is part of a school, of later 20th-century date, and the northeast end is regenerated scrubland on the site of a former wagon works and earlier orchard. Prior to this, the area covered by the site was part of Little Moor, suggesting an area of common land between open fields prior to enclosure, probably by Parliamentary Award in 1785. There is no legibility of the former landscape. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Public Park, School, Terraced Housing, Suburban Commercial Core, Train/Depot Sidings, Semi-Detached Housing, Other Industry, Regenerated Scrubland, Private Housing Estate and Planned Estate (Social Housing).


The majority of site was fields at the time of the 1854 OS map. Two sheds were shown in the southern part of the site, with an orchard in the central area. The western part of the site was marked ‘Little Moor’ in 1854. The orchard had been extended and included three large greenhouses by 1892. These features had been cleared by 1903. A single railway track ran from a wagon works into the southwest part of the site at that date. Railway sidings occupied this part of the site by 1930, while the Danum Wagon Works and several associated tracks dominated the central and northeast areas. Allotment gardens were shown in the area adjoining Littlemoor Lane. Further tracks and buildings associated with the wagon works had been constructed by 1956. Several embankments and a pond were shown in the southwest part of the site on the 1960 OS map. These remained extant in 1970. No changes were shown within the site at that date, although the wagon works and the associated features had been removed by 1986, when the majority of the site was scrubland, apart from three narrow buildings that backed onto Orchard Street.

Numerous features were shown within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, the Yorkshire Doncaster & Goole Railway line, Littlemoor Lane, Westfield House, Belmont House, Walnut Cottage, Balby Road Bridge, Cherry Tree Station, mineral offices, Hexmoor Lane, Fiddler’s Lane, several fields that resembled pre-enclosure strip fields and St. John’s Nursery. Housing, orchards, a church, a chapel, a vicarage, public houses, a school, ‘water columns’ and an old quarry were shown on the 1892 map, with further housing, another school, a malthouse and the wagon works on 1903. Extensive housing development had taken place within the buffer by 1930, with allotments and a brass and iron works also shown at that date. The latter were disused by 1960. A new school, bowling greens and tennis courts were shown at that date, with Westfield Park, a transport depot, warehousing, playing fields and flats shown in 1980. Further housing and another school were marked within the buffer on the 1984 OS map.

Survival:

The central area of the site has been developed with housing since 1984, and the potential for surviving archaeology in this area is negligible. Within the northeast part of the site, the early to mid-20th-century Danum Wagon Works are likely to have included casting and inspection pits. Any archaeological remains within the footprints of these features are likely to have been destroyed. Depending on their depth, archaeological remains within the footprints of the works’ buildings may also have been impacted. The southwest part of the site was formerly covered with railway sidings, a works buildings, and some evidence for disturbed ground. Remains relating to the works themselves may well survive in the northeast part of the site. These may include footings,



foundations, the bases of walls and the casting/inspection pits. The potential for undisturbed buried archaeological remains of earlier date is considered to be low in the northeast and southwest parts of the site.



Significance:

Remains associated with the early 20th-century wagon works are likely to be of Local archaeological significance.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the southwest and northeast parts of the site as wooded areas. The Gresley Road housing development had taken place by 2002. No changes were visible within the site on the 2015 photographs. Lidar data does not show any potential archaeological features within the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events 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 edge of the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as modern agglomerated fields resulting from rationalised piecemeal enclosure, divided into ploughing units but with no physical boundary. There is only partial legibility of the previous enclosure from medieval open fields. Character areas within the buffer comprises modern allotments, a school, a retail park and a variety of types of housing within Carcroft.

The site was in agricultural use from at least 1841 and remained so into the early 20th century.


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 within the buffer in 1932. Allotments were shown to the south of the site in 1932 and 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.



Significance:

Unknown.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as scrub, with several small meandering footpaths. Some trees are present around the perimeter of the site, and latterly there appear to be small trees within the site. There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

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. One grade II listed building is recorded within the buffer zone, a milepost located to the southwest of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded post medieval ridge and furrow within the buffer zone, to the east of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Modern Playing Fields/Recreation Ground and Modern Planned Estate (Social Housing). The site was in agricultural use from at least 1841 and remained so into the early 20th century. Following the development of Bentley Colliery, the site remained open land between the mine and housing estates to the south and southwest. There is no legibility of earlier piecemeal enclosure patterns. The north of the buffer zone is regenerated land at the former Bentley Colliery, and to the south and west is a variety of modern housing types. To the east is woodland.

The site is part of a larger field, located at the western end of it. To the south and west is a modern housing development, and to the north and east are fields and regenerated land of the former coal mine.


No features were shown within the site on Thomas Jefferys’ 1771 map of Yorkshire. The site formed part of a field to the west of Daw Lane Plantations by 1841 and remained undeveloped land throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Within the buffer zone, Arksey Road was shown to the west of the site on the 1771 Jefferys’ map, while Daw Lane Plantation was shown to the east and a drain to the north of the site on the 1841 OS map. No change had occurred within the buffer zone by 1906, although Bentley Colliery had been established to the northeast of the site by 1930. Housing had been constructed to the south of the site by that date. A football ground had been created in the southeast part of the buffer zone by 1961, with further housing built to the west of the site during the 1970s. Cherry Grange had been constructed by 1980, by which time the Bentley Colliery spoilheap had extended into the northern part of the buffer zone. Land reclamation had begun in this area by 1985.

Survival:

Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance in the site, the potential for the survival of any unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as open grassland. Lidar imagery for the site shows isolated areas of possible ridge and furrow within the buffer zone. No features were identified within the site itself.
