Site assessment Known assets/character:

The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site. One findspot and one event are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspot is of a Bronze Age flint arrowhead, whilst the event was a coring survey undertaken to identify any areas of raised land which may have attracted prehistoric and later settlement. The survey identified the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no continuation of the Thorne Moor peat and gravel spurs into the area.

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

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records ridge and furrow earthworks and cropmarks within the site and buffer zone, though no earthwork features are shown within the site on recent aerial images.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland and modern Private Housing Estate. The character within the southern half of the site and part of the buffer is defined as land enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, with no legibility of former common land. The present boundaries within this character area are largely defined by the 19th century drainage layout. The northern part of the site was also enclosed in 1825, with changes in the layout of drainage and subdivision between 1851 and 1891 in association with the construction of the 1850s warping system fed by Durham's Warping Drain. The legibility of the Parliamentary Enclosure field boundaries within the site is good. Only a small section of the 1970s housing along the southern edge of the site intrudes into the site area, comprising outbuildings to the rear of one property.

To the north and east of the site the landscape character Within the buffer comprises 20th century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes.

The site currently comprises six small fields used as pasture land, and a garden containing a building at the southern end. It has been in agricultural use since at least 1825.

Cartographic/historic land use assessment:

The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map, when North Common Drain crossed the northern part of the site. No change was shown within the site between 1854 and 1962. Two detached buildings and an open-sided feature were shown in the eastern part of the site on the 1971 OS map, when this part of the site appears to have formed gardens to the rear of houses on North Common Lane. None of the garden structures were shown on the 1980 OS map.

Within the buffer zone, North Common Drain, North Common Road and Marshland Road were extant by 1825. Mount Pleasant was marked on the 1841 OS map, with Bloom Hill Farm shown in 1854. North Common Drain had been modified by the construction of the Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway along the western site boundary by 1892. A Catholic church, a presbytery and housing developments were also shown within the buffer zone at that date. Little change had occurred by 1956 but a coal yard and a second church were shown in 1962, while further housing development had occurred by 1971. Bloomhill Stud Farm had been established immediately to the south-west of the site by 1991.

Survival:

Due to the relative lack of sub-surface disturbance, the potential for the survival of buried archaeology is considered to be moderate.

Further investigations:

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



Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 150 is the same as Site 276.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary:

Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as scrub or rough pasture, with the 19th-century field boundaries marked by overgrown hedges. A field in the western part of the site was sub-divided into a series of smaller, square plots between 2002 and 2008, probably fenced enclosures associated with Bloomhill Stud Farm.

There is no Lidar coverage for the site.

In November 2002 a programme of coring was conducted on land at Common Road in Bloom Hill. The deposit survey was carried out to identify any raised areas likely to have attracted early settlement or subsistence activity. The deposits encountered were mainly inorganic sand, silt and clay. Of particular interest was that no evidence for a continuation of the nearby Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits was encountered by this survey.

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 zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site or the buffer, though this area is likely to be outside the remit of that project.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the northern and eastern part of the buffer as an area of sand and gravel extraction, with no legibility of the former Parliamentary Enclosure landscape created in 1778. Further character zones within the buffer are defined as Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/ Private), Agglomerated Fields, Private Housing Estate and Regenerated Scrubland.

The site is currently an area of rough grass, separated from a sand and gravel quarry to the north by a belt of trees. The northwest boundary is formed by Wroot Road, and the southern boundary by a railway line.


The site was shown as a field on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. No further changes were shown within the site until the 1962 OS map, when the land was shown as an area of rough heath or scrub. A similarly-marked area to the north and northeast of the site had been subjected to sand and gravel extraction. The site was shown as scrub on the 1992 OS map. The Historic Environment Characterisation data records the site as mineral extraction; however, none of the available OS maps show the land as an extraction site. While it is possible that sand and gravel were removed and the site infilled with made ground in the period between the surveying of later 20th-century maps, or between the 1992 map and the 2002 aerial photograph, there is currently no evidence to confirm this.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1885 OS map including fields, Wroot Road, Wroot Road railway crossing, the Great Northern & Great Eastern Joint Railway and a cluster of three unlabelled buildings on the west side of Wroot Road. A small number of buildings of unknown function had been constructed on the south side of the railway line by 1902. By 1956, a large sand and gravel pit was shown at the northern side of the buffer, with a works shown within the pit by 1963. By that date, the buildings to the west of Wroot Road had been replaced by ‘White House’ and those to the south of the railway line were marked ‘Gate House’. Several new houses were shown to the southwest of the site. Gravel pits to the north and west of the site appeared to be largely disused by 1985, with scrub vegetation to the north of the site. Further housing was constructed by 1981 and 1992.

Survival:

The site was a field by 1886 and is currently an area of rough grass. Whilst land immediately to the north was subjected to sand and gravel extraction, there is no cartographic or earthwork evidence to suggest that extraction took place within the site itself. Should sand and gravel extraction have occurred, this will have destroyed any archaeological remains within the site. If extraction did not occur, the potential for buried archaeological remains is moderate. On the basis of current evidence, the archaeological potential is unknown.


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

Significance:

Unknown.



Aerial Photographs & Lidar Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as an area of rough grassland/scrub, with a belt of trees separating it from the former sand and gravel quarry to the north and east. Several photos show the grass to be thin, with areas of exposed sandy subsoil. Lidar data does not show any features within the site apart from the edge of a drainage ditch along the northern boundary.

Site assessment

Known assets/character:

The SMR records one findspot, two monuments and one event within the site. A prehistoric flint scraper was

found on the surface of one of the fields, and cropmarks of Iron Age to Roman sub-rectangular enclosures and

part of a field system have been recorded in the southeast part of the site, with a well-defined ditched lane

probably of the same date running through the northern part of the site. A geophysical survey and trial trenching

evaluation covered part of the northeast edge of the site and identified probable settlement activity in enclosures

to the east, within the buffer. Eleven monuments have been recorded within the buffer, . the Iron Age to Roman

enclosures investigated by the evaluation already mentioned, and seven findspots of flint artefacts of Mesolithic

and later date. A further assemblage of Mesolithic to Neolithic flint artefacts were recovered from the

excavations at Pastures Road to the east of the site, probably reflecting seasonal visits to the area.

No Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings are recorded within the site and buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a well-

defined ditched lane running through the northern part of the site on a northwest-southeast alignment, as well

as probable enclosures and field boundaries in the southern half of the site. These features are also recorded on

the SMR. Areas of post-medieval ridge and furrow cropmarks are also recorded within the eastern and western

edges of the site and within the buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the majority of the site as agglomerated fields. This land was

subject to major boundary loss in the late 20th

century leading to a loss of legibility of the earlier landscape

character of enclosure from open field. Further character zones within the buffer include planned social and

private housing estates and a school to the southwest, and a sewage works to the southeast, with earlier

terraced housing at the southern edge.

Four areas of historic landfill are recorded within the buffer zone, although one covered the area to the

immediate east of the site, where archaeological remains were recently recorded.

The site is currently under cultivation, subdivided amongst at least five large fields, probably divided by drains on

the route of earlier field boundaries.


The 1854-55 OS map depicts the site as sub divided amongst a network of enclosed strip field to the northeast of

Mexborough. The fields retained the S-curve within the boundaries, representative of the earlier open field

pattern of cultivation. Some boundaries had been lost by 1958, though the pattern of strip fields was still clearly

visible in the northern field; however, by 1981, most of the internal boundaries had been removed and only a few

former boundaries survived as drainage ditches in the north central part of the site.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows mainly fields, though by 1893 suburban development of Mexborough had

begun within the buffer to the south, adjacent to Pastures Road. Clayfield House and gardens were also recorded

at this date to the immediate south of the site, north of a brick works. By 1938 the suburban development of

Mexborough had extended north as well as northeast. Within the buffer, clay quarrying linked to the brick works

had extended north to Clayfield House. By 1957 the quarry had expanded further, claiming an area of gardens to

the east of Clayfield House, which itself had been demolished by 1966 as the brick works expanded up to the

southern edge of the site. The brick works and quarry was disused by 1980.

Survival:

The site has been under cultivation since at least the early 19th

century, and this may have caused some

truncation of sub-surface deposits. The potential for preservation below the plough zone is likely to be high, as

demonstrated at the site to the east, where remains of Iron Age to Roman settlement and Mesolithic to Neolithic

artefacts were found. Cropmarks associated with the Iron Age to Roman activity have been recorded within the



site, including a well-defined trackway and possible settlement enclosures.


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

Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman dispersed settlement and agricultural activity could be of Local to

Regional archaeological significance, depending on their nature, extent and condition.

Aerial Photographs & Lidar

Summary:

Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as at least five fields mainly in arable cultivation, with

internal boundaries defined by drainage ditches on the line of former field boundaries. Cropmarks associated

with removed post-medieval boundaries are occasionally visible, though the conditions are not clear enough to

see the probable Iron Age features recorded on earlier aerial photographs. The area of archaeological evaluation

is visible on the 2008 photograph to the immediate east of the site, along with a stripped area suggesting open

area excavation of at least one enclosure, not recorded in the SMR event record. There is no Lidar coverage for

this area.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Six monuments are recorded within the buffer, comprising the sites of two pottery works to the north of the site, the sites of a further pottery works, one of its kilns and a glassworks to the west of the site, and Mexborough railway station to the south.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One grade II listed building (Mexborough station) is recorded within the buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Two 20th-century air raid shelters are recorded at the northeast and northwest edges of the buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site and the area to the east as part of light metal trades complex, dominated by an imposing building on the canal side, currently the Coltran Works (disused), to the east of the site. The area had become industrialised by 1891 when a corn mill was depicted, with a crane for loading to and from the canal. The present Coltran Works was built between 1903 and 1930 with further sheds added in the area of former residential buildings in the mid-20th century. Other character zones within the buffer include modern business parks and industrial premises, various types of housing including late 19th-century terraces and 20th-century private and social housing estates, allotments, a sports ground, urban commercial core, and modern road developments. A small area of valley floor meadows where some of the historic character of medieval and later enclosure is preserved is located to the south of the site.

Historic landfill data records a small area of infilled ground to the southwest of the site, named Station Road, Mexborough, with no further information given.

The site is currently covered by concrete surfacing, with a derelict early 20th-century works building at the southwest edge. The northern and eastern boundaries are formed by modern roads, the southern boundary by the Don Navigation and the western boundary by Station Road.


The 1854 OS map showed a narrow range of buildings at the eastern edge of the site, possibly terraced housing, with a small building in the centre, the remainder being part of a field. The 1892 map depicts works buildings on the eastern side of the site in a U-shaped range, with a second smaller range in the centre of the site, and a crane adjacent to the Don Navigation. A row of terraced houses was shown to the east of the works. By 1903 the buildings in the centre had been demolished. In 1930, a larger works building with a chimney had been built in the southwest corner of the site, and a theatre was shown on the Oxford Road frontage on the site of one of the former works buildings at the eastern side. Further buildings were shown to the north of the western works in 1958. By 1971, the road network to the north had change, with the A6023 having been built across the northern part of the works and an embanked slip road from Bank Street forming the new northeast corner. The eastern buildings had been demolished and the works in the southwest corner were still shown, though apparently modified. This layout was unchanged in 1988.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the core of Mexborough to the north and east of the site, with fields and orchards between the houses and the Don Navigation. A glass works and iron works were shown to the west of the site, adjacent to the canal. A lane leading from Oxford Road/Market Street to the Leech Bridge across the canal ran along the eastern side of the site. By 1893, Station Road had been constructed along the western edge of the site, and the glass works and iron works had been extended, with further urban development to the northwest of the site. The glass works appeared to have been replaced by a different works by 1930. The 1971 map showed a major change in the street layout to the north of the site, with the construction of the A6023 across the former route of Oxford Road, with large works buildings shown between it and the canal in the western part of the buffer. Further works buildings were shown to the east of the site and a printing works to the



southwest.

Survival:

The site has been occupied by works buildings from the late 19th-century onwards, with some redevelopment over the years. The current buildings were built before 1930 and the majority of the site is covered in hard standing. The northern and eastern boundaries of the site may have been disturbed during the construction of the current road network in the late 1960s. Within the majority of the site, there is the potential for the survival of buried features relating to the former works. The site’s location on the alluvial plain suggests that there is also the potential for earlier (prehistoric to medieval) remains to survive at a significant depth below the current ground levels.


Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if this site is brought forward for development. Assessment of the historic character and significance of the derelict warehouse may also be required.

Significance:

The standing buildings and any buried remains associated with the works could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance.


The 2002-2003 aerial photographs show the buildings in the southwest corner in the same arrangement as on the 1988 OS map, with the area to the north and west being concrete-surfaced and used to store containers. By 2008, some of the buildings were being demolished, leaving only the core of the works in the southwest corner by 2009. The 2015 photograph is too obscured to see the building, but it is still shown as present on Street View imagery. Lidar data shows only the building platform at the southwest side of the site and an area of disturbed ground or rubble along the northeast edge.

The SMR records three findspots and four monuments within the site. The findspots are of a prehistoric stone axe (probably Neolithic) found in the southeast part of the site, a Bronze Age palstave axe found in a ploughed field in the north central part of the site, and an undated quern stone found towards the central area of the site, possibly of Iron Age to Roman date. The quern was found close to a pair of enclosures recorded as cropmarks, also probably of Iron Age to Roman date. One of these is an unusual sub-circular shape with a protruding entrance and ‘annexe’, the other rectangular. Two sites of water mills of possible medieval origin are recorded in the northwest part of the site, at separate locations along Mill Dike, and an area of ridge and furrow is located in the detached northwest portion of the site, southwest of Loversall. No events are recorded within the site.

A further 11 monuments are recorded within the buffer. Many of these are in and around Loversall, and include the medieval and later church; the site of a medieval hall below an early 19th-century hall, which is set within a park and has a 16th-century dovecote in the grounds; earthworks possibly indicating medieval house platforms and toft boundaries; and a linear earthwork of uncertain origin. The probable site of a deserted medieval village is recorded at Wellingley, and Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field systems have been recorded at Rossington. A post-medieval barn at Wadworth is also recorded. Nine events are recorded within the buffer, including field walking and geophyiscal survey around Loversall, for which no results are recorded, a watching brief at Loversall Farm, where no archaeological remains were revealed, and a watching brief on a grave at St Katherine's Church, which found a large quantity of Roman pottery, bone and antler, probably from a rubbish deposit. Archaeological recording has also been undertaken around Rossington, with Iron Age to Roman field systems and settlement enclosures excavated at two separate sites. No archaeological remains were found in watching briefs at Rakes Lane and Quarry Farm.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Five grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone, including farm buildings, Loversall Hall and a dovecote, and a medieval cross slab outside the porch of St Katherine’s Church. The church itself is grade II* listed, but is located just outside the buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded enclosures and field systems of probable Iron Age to Roman date as cropmarks in various parts of the site, mainly in the eastern half. Two of the enclosures are recorded on the SMR. Similar features were recorded within the buffer, to the east at Rossington, where excavation demonstrated the survival of the features, and to the south and southwest. Earthwork ridge and furrow remains were recorded in several fields within the site, shown on photographs from the 1940s, though the remains recorded on the SMR to the southwest of Loversall are not shown.

Historic Environment Characterisation records several landscape character zones within the site. The majority comprises agglomerated fields, where loss of boundaries has created large fields with only partial legibility of former enclosure patterns. In the eastern part of the site the land was probably enclosed as part of Vermuyden's wetland drainage scheme of the 17th century, whilst in the central part of the site, the fields were enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1767. Along the southern edge of the site, the character was formerly narrow strip fields, whilst the northern edge was probably formerly valley floor meadows and the western edge of the main part of the site was piecemeal enclosure. Further character types are mainly located in the western part of the site and include an area of surveyed enclosure of Little Carr, probably wet wooded commons; the Mill Farm complex on the former site of Wadworth Low Mill, which shown in 1854 but was possibly medieval in origin; the site of Wadworth Top Mill, shown in 1893 but again possibly medieval in origin and now within a large field; and a small part of Loversall Park, private parkland associated with Loversall Hall. The detached northwest part of the site is recorded as strip fields enclosed in piecemeal fashion from medieval open field, with legibility somewhat disrupted by the construction of the M18 motorway. A sewage works is located in the southwest part of the site.

Further character zones within the buffer include the M18 motorway junction, more agglomerated fields and



strip fields, drained wetland and piecemeal enclosures, private parkland, a plantation, Rossington Main Colliery and an associated spoil heap, an elite residence (Loversall Hall) and St Katherine's church, two farms and detached housing at Loversall and Wadworth villages.

Historic Landfill data records a former tip to the south of Carr Lane and west of the railway.

The site is currently a large area of fields in arable cultivation. The northwest portion of the site is separated from the main area by Wadworth Hill road. Several roads and a railway line run through the site, which is bounded to the southwest by the A1(M).


The 1854 map shows the site as a collection of many fairly small fields. The northwest part of the site, southwest of Loversall, was fairly regular enclosures within an area called Wike Field. To the east of the turnpike road that ran to Loversall were more irregular fields, called Little Carr and Mill Wood Common. Two water-powered corn mills were shown along Mill Dike, the western one named Wadworth Top Mill, with a mill pond formed by a widening of the dike, and the eastern one on the site of the current Mill Farm, called Low Mill, with a dam adjacent to the dike. Little Carr or Dawson's Holt plantation was shown within the land to the north of Mill Dike. The little stream that forms part of the northern edge of the site was called St Catherine's Well Stream, and Loversall Park was located to the north. East of Low Mill was an area of narrow fields called New Ings, with similar fields to the south of Daw Lane called Burr Hill, Bar Leys and Fall Dikes. South of Carr Lane were more regularly-shaped fields, called Cover Beggar Field and Egg Field, with Wadworth Grange, probably a farmhouse, shown in this area. The fields to the immediate north of Wellingley were more irregular and suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. Egg Lane and Stancil Lane were within the southeast portion of the site, where regular fields were depicted in an area called Wadworth Carr. Carr House was shown at the junction of Carr Lane, Carr Bank and Egg Lane. The northeast part of the site was regular fields shown as part of Potteric Carr. A building called Parson's Carr was shown to the north of Daw Lane in this area. The eastern boundary of the site was the River Torne.

In 1892, a quarry was shown at Burr Hill, on the site of the current sewage works. By 1905, the top mill was no longer shown, though the mill dam was still extant. Low Mill was still depicted, though the dam was silted up. Mill Farm had been built on the site of this mill by 1930. The South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been built through the centre of the site on a southwest to northeast alignment, with a wide excavated area shown to the west of the line immediately south of Carr Lane. Burr Hill Quarry was shown as disused by 1948. Some loss of field boundaries had taken place within the site by 1967, mainly in the southern area, north of Wellingley, and further amalgamation had taken place by 1974, particularly at the northwest side of the site. the sewage works was shown within the former quarry at that date. No further substantial changes had taken place by 1980.

Within the buffer, in 1854 the villages of Wadworth and Loversall were shown to the southwest and northwest of the site respectively, and single farms or small hamlets at Wellingley, later renamed Wellingley Grange, Stancil and Rossington Grange. Rossington Main Colliery was first shown at the eastern edge of the buffer in 1930. A substantial spoil heap was shown to the south of the colliery in 1956. Some new housing was shown in Wadworth by 1967, by which date the A1M was under construction along the southwest boundary of the site. The M18/A1M junction was under construction in 1974 to the west of the site, and the M18 had continued to the northeast by 1980.

Survival:

The majority of the site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century and probably from the 17th century in some areas. At least some areas have been subject to drainage. This land use is likely to have impacted on the preservation of buried remains through truncation and desiccation, though below the plough zone the preservation is likely to be moderate to high. Cropmarks of Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field boundaries are recorded within the site, and two water-powered mills of possible medieval origin were located within the northwest part of the site. Casual finds of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman artefacts have also been recovered within the site.


There is the potential for archaeological remains of Regional significance within the site, though the extent, nature and condition of these remains is currently unclear. Further archaeological investigation would be required to assess the capacity of the site for development.



Significance:

Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural remains could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Remains associated with post-medieval water mills could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance, though any remains of medieval mills would be more likely to be of Regional significance.


The 2002-2012 aerial photographs show the site as predominantly fields, in arable cultivation. There had been much amalgamation of fields since 1980, particularly at the western and southern sides of the site, though some of the old patterns of enclosure are visible in boundaries to the north of Mill Dike and within the Little Carr area. The drainage pattern in the eastern part of the site is still preserved, and the fields to the north of Wellingley retain the curving field boundaries, though the smaller enclosure pattern has been lost. The strip field pattern in the detached northwest part of the site is lost. A small sewage works is shown off Daw Lane, in the former quarry site, and buildings at Mill Farm, Wadworth Grange and Carr House still survive, though Parson's Carr has been demolished. Some of the fields show cropmarks in some of the photographs, conforming to those recorded by the Magnesian Limestone Aerial Mapping Project. the former mill pond of the Top Mill is visible as a parch mark.

There is only partial Lidar coverage for the site, covering the northwest corner. No ridge and furrow remains are shown within the detached northwest parcel of the site. A square mound of earth adjacent to the road was shown as a spoil mound in 1960, possibly associated with the alteration to the route of Wadworth Hill road around Loversall. St Catherine's Well Stream is shown running along through and along the northern edge of the site, and the route of Mill Dike is visible. A slight earthwork hollow marks the location of the Top Mill dam. The only other clear features are drainage ditches and trackways, and an earthwork platform to the east of Mill Farm, which could be associated with the former Low Mill.

The SMR records one findspot in the site: a Roman coin. One findspot and two monuments are recorded in the buffer zone: a possible Mesolithic flint; Double Bridges Farm moat; and the estimated site of a medieval river fishery recorded in Domesday Book.


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

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland on the former Hatfield Chase, which appears to relate closely to the early 17th-century drainage works of Vermuyden. There is no legibility of medieval hunting park. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions; Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/Private); Planned Estate (Social Housing); Private Housing Estate; Canal or River Wharf; and Vernacular Cottages.

One area of historic landfill is recorded within the southern part of the buffer, named Tudworth Hall Farm.

The site is currently a number of fields, mainly in arable cultivation, and two farm complexes. The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century.


The site was shown as fields on the 1853 OS map, when it formed part of Burgar Common. Bradholme Hill, Burgar Road and the old course of the River Don were shown within the site, along with buildings at Bradholme. A large pump was shown in the centre-north of the site on the 1892 OS map, with an orchard at Bradholme. Brierholme Carr Drain, a substantial embanked field drain, crossed Burgar Common by 1932. Parts of Burgar Road had become a ‘cart track’ and a ‘grass road’ by 1962. Bridge Poultry Farm had been constructed in the north-west part of the site by 1974. No substantive changes were shown within the site on the 1984 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1853 OS map including fields, the South Yorkshire Railway, the Bawtry and Selby Turnpike Trust road, Tudworth Hall, Double Bridge Farm, Double Bridge Road, an ‘Old Lathe House’, Tudworth Farm, Double Bridges Farm, the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, Balne Croft Common, North Common, Wike Gate, Sea Dike Road, North and South Soak Drains and Meer Drain. Wike Well End and Wike Well Bridge were marked in the buffer on the 1892 map, with a small number of houses shown to the north of the railway line in 1906. Oaks Farm and Moors Bridge was shown on the 1962 OS map, while housing had been constructed in the north-west part of the buffer by 1974. Tudworth Farm had also expanded by that date.

Survival:

A Roman coin has reportedly been discovered in the field. The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. The construction of Bridge Poultry Farm and Bradholme may have impacted on any archaeological remains within their footprints. Buildings have been shown on the site of Bradholme Farm from at least 1853, and any historic buildings surviving within this complex may be heritage assets in their own right.



Significance:

Unknown.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable fields, with the exception of Bradholme farm buildings, Bridge Poultry Farm and an area of rough pasture in its immediate vicinity. The pasture was shown as arable land in 2009. A 2002 aerial photograph shows linear cropmark features in the area between Bradholme and Old Lathe House. While some may mark the former positions of 19th-century field boundaries, others do not correspond with plot boundaries of that date. Further cropmark features, possibly palaeochannels, are visible in the northeast part of the site on a 2009 aerial photograph. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

One monument is recorded within the site on the SMR, the location of the post-medieval Bentley Corn Mill; however, this appears to have been located outside the site to the immediate east. One findspot is recorded within the buffer zone: a Neolithic polished flint axe found to the northwest of the site.

There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site or the buffer zone. Three grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone, with the Church of St Peter, Bentley located at the western edge and Bentley pinfold to the northwest of the site. The third building, the post-medieval Bentley Corn Mill to the immediate east of the site, does not appear to be extant. It is believed to have been demolished before the listing was confirmed and there is no evidence on site of the building as described by the listing.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a concentrated area of Iron Age to Romano-British field and enclosure ditches within the central part of the site, and an area of ridge and furrow remains in the eastern part of the site. The ridge and furrow remains survived as earthworks in 1946 and 1956, but Lidar data indicates that they have since been levelled. The Iron Age to Roman cropmarks include a sub-circular enclosure, and what appears to be at least two phases of field boundary ditches and two lanes or droveways. Within the buffer, further post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded to the north, east and southwest of the site. The earthworks to the north have since been built over, and the area to the east is now a landfill site. No earthworks are shown in the area to the southwest in the Lidar data, apart from a linear feature that could be a surviving headland bank.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the southern buffer zone as large semi-regular enclosures, probably resulting from the piecemeal enclosure of former medieval open field. The southwest edge of the buffer is characterised as a school, with St Peter's Church and modern housing to the west and north, a sewage works and light industrial works to the northeast, and fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award at the southeast edge. The site of Bentley Mill is recorded to the immediate northeast of the site.

Historic landfill data records a disused tip site in the southeast part of the buffer, at Fowler Bridge Road.

The site currently comprises four fields mainly in use as pasture, with slightly sinuous boundaries marked by hedgerows, with a parcel of land containing a farm and associated outbuildings at the northern end.


The 1854 OS map shows farm buildings at the northern end of the site, with two L-shaped ranges and smaller separate structures, as well as two areas of possible gardens or orchards. To the south of the farm, six fields were shown within the site, with those on the eastern side appearing to have been cut through by the Fowler Bridge Road, which formed the eastern boundary. Bentley Town Drain ran along the southern boundary of the site, and Mill Lane the northern boundary. The 1892 map showed no significant changes to the farm layout, but the field boundaries at the eastern side of the site had been altered to create two more regular enclosures. By 1906 a new building had been constructed to the west of the existing buildings and a new wing had been added to the L-shaped building fronting onto Mill Gate, making it U-shaped, although the new wing had been removed by 1960. The buildings were labelled Bentley Mill Farm on maps from 1939 onwards. There were no obvious alterations to the fields between 1892 and 1960, apart from the removal of one field boundary. By 1990, the building to the west of the original structures had been replaced with a larger, rectangular building and a long, thin structure was present between the two L-shaped buildings.

Within the buffer zone, the 1854 map showed Bentley Water Mill (corn) to the immediate east of the farm, with an irregularly-shaped but fairly linear dam to its northwest. The settlement of Bentley was depicted to the northwest of the site, with buildings to either side of Mill Lane and further to the north, including a steam mill and the pinfold at Finkle Street. A National School and the Old Workhouse were shown at the western edge of the buffer. The Great Northern Railway cut through the southeast edge of the buffer, with fields to the northeast, east, west and south of the site. In 1892, a mission room was shown on the site of the National School, and



Bentley Brewery was located to the north of Mill Lane. St Peter's Church had been built to the west of the site by 1906. By 1930, the water mill was shown as disused and the dam filled in, though the mill dike had been canalised through the location of the former pond. Substantial housing development had occurred to the northwest of the site, including terraced and semi-detached housing. A new school was depicted to the south of St Peter's Church, and the fields between the church and the site were shown as allotment gardens. A sewage works had been constructed in the northeast part of the buffer. The 1980 map showed a tip to the east of Fowler Bridge Road and works buildings to the north of the mill.

Survival:

The buildings depicted on the site in 1854 are still present on the site today, although Google Street View images demonstrate that the L-shaped building fronting onto Mill Gate is ruinous and incomplete. Outside the cluster of farm buildings, which are located roughly at the centre of the site, the areas to the east and west have remained undeveloped since at least 1854 and, as such, the potential for the survival of buried archaeology in these areas is considered to be moderate. Within the fields forming the majority of the site, a concentrated area of cropmarks of probable Iron Age to Roman date have been recorded from aerial photographs by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project. Though the fields have been cultivated, there is a high potential for the survival of buried remains associated with the cropmarks below the zone affected by ploughing.


Further archaeological investigation will be required if this site is brought forward for development. This may include an assessment of the historic significance of the standing buildings.

Significance:

The pre-1854 farm buildings on the site are considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Buried remains associated with Iron Age to Roman settlement and agricultural activity could be considered to be of Local to Regional significance, depending on their extent, nature and condition.


Aerial photographs from 2002 show three buildings which can be identified on the 1854 map, and two modern buildings with corrugated metal roofs first noted on the 1990 map. By 2008, the L-shaped structure fronting onto Mill Gate had been largely demolished; some external walls still appear to be standing, but there is no roof. The site has remained unchanged since, although the partial L-shaped building has become increasingly overgrown. To the east of the site, the corn mill still shown in 1992 had been demolished by 2002, and a large works building built close to its former site.

Within the central and southern parts of the site, Google Earth data shows four fields with slightly sinuous boundaries mostly marked by full or partial hedgelines. In 2002, the western field was under cultivation and the remainder used as pasture, with a rounded patch of bare earth towards the southern end of the central field, possibly a former pond or waterlogged area. This had become grassed over by 2003. The western field was shown as rough vegetation in 2008, and in 2009 the two eastern fields were under cultivation, probably for hay. The 2015 image is entirely obscured by clouds.

None of the cropmarks recorded within the site by the Magnesian Limestone Mapping Project are visible on the Google Earth imagery. The only earthwork features identified within the available Lidar data for the site correspond with extant field boundaries.

Allocation Reference: 164 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land to the East of Warning Tongue Lane



The SMR records one monument and two events within the site. The monument is part of an area where frequent remains of pottery kilns associated with Doncaster’s Roman pottery production industry have been found. It is not known if any such remains have been found within the site itself. Both events related to works undertaken in association with the construction of a water pipeline, a geophysical survey and trial trenching, which did not record any features of clear archaeological origin within the site. These events and the pottery area extend into the buffer zone, where two further monuments were recorded, the suggested route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster, and cropmark features of a linear feature that may be an Iron Age or Roman trackway.

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

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of a linear ditch of uncertain date in the northern area of the buffer. This is probably the feature recorded on the SMR.

Historic Environment Characterisation identifies that the site lies within an area of agglomerated fields created through the progressive removal of field boundaries. The M18 motorway has further disturbed the field boundaries making legibility of the former landscape invisible. These fields continue into the north and east of the buffer. Directly adjacent to the site in the north is McAuley School. The south and west areas of the buffer are identified as modern private housing estates. Roman pottery kilns were excavated here in the early 1950s ahead of construction of the housing estate and form and important regional group. Black Carr post-medieval plantation lies in the southeast corner of the buffer.

The site is currently two arable fields, with the eastern boundary formed by the M18, the western boundary by Warning Tongue Lane and a school playing field, and the northern boundary by Doncaster Road.


The 1854 map showed the site as three fields, with no changes until 1978 when one of the boundaries had been removed. The current eastern boundary was formed between 1978 and 1982 by the construction of the M18 motorway. Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows a National school to the north of the site, but none of the present day buildings are depicted. A park associated with Cantley Hall extended into the northwest edge of the buffer, and plantations to the east and south of the site, one including a folly, suggests that the site was associated with the wider Cantley Hall estate. By 1948, Handley Cross Farm had been built to the west of the site and the 1955 OS map shows that Black Carr plantation in the south had been extended northwards. By 1978 McCauley school had been built on the site of Handley Cross Farm. Between 1978 and 1982, the area to the west of the site was developed as a private housing estate. The M18 motorway was also shown at this date.

Survival:

The site has been fields from at least 1854. Ploughing may have truncated sub-surface archaeological features but deep ground disturbance within the site is limited. The potential for buried archaeological remains below the level impacted by ploughing is therefore considered to be moderate to high.



Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Roman pottery production and associated activity could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Note: Site 430 covers the western part of site 164.



Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as two fields in arable cultivation with hedgerow borders. The fields are subdivided by a hedgerow running through the middle in a north-south alignment. No cropmark features were noted within the site.

Lidar data shows the field surfaces as very smooth, with only one slight earthwork running west to east across the southern part of the site, between Packington Road and the M18. It is not shown on any historic maps, and is of unclear origin.

A systematic gradiometer survey was carried out at several locations along the route of a proposed water pipeline. Responses thought to be archaeological in nature were found within Areas 3 and 6. Area 3 revealed several pit-type anomalies that are bounded by a former field-system/track. Within Area 6 a number of former field systems have been identified. Ridge and furrow has also been found within two of the areas, while modern ploughing is also visible throughout. Field drains have been identified within some areas, the most elaborate within Area 6 where a herringbone pattern can be seen.

ESY908 Archaeological Monitoring and Trial Trenching at Doncaster Water Pipeline, South Yorkshire

Excavations at two sites along the route of the pipeline revealed ditches and trackways corresponding to recorded cropmarks of Iron Age to Romano-British field systems. Excavation of a third site at Kilham Farm close to the site of Romano British pottery kilns also revealed a number of ditches indicative of such field systems. The ditches excavated formed part of a locally, if not regionally important complex of cropmarks in the area to the east of Doncaster. The excavations confirmed the presence of field systems identified from cropmarks, as well as identifying further features not visible on aerial photographs. Despite an almost complete absence of artefactual and environmental evidence from the features, excavations have provided an insight into the use and re-use of Iron Age and Romano-British field system in the region.

Allocation Reference: 165 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land North of the A1, Skellow



The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two monuments and one event are recorded within the buffer zone. The monuments comprise the suggested route of a Roman road, along the western boundary of the site, and a probable Iron Age to Roman enclosure recorded as a cropmark. The event related to archaeological evaluations along the route of the A1(M).

No Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings are recorded within the site and buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records an Iron Age or Roman trackway and field boundary as crop marks within the site. These and associated features continue within the buffer zone to the north, northeast and northwest. Post-medieval ridge and furrow has also been recorded within the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as within a parcel of surveyed enclosure, with the boundary layout dating to c.1801. Its previous character is uncertain. Within the buffer zone, further character zones include 1960s residential private housing to the south, with partial legibility of former Parliamentary Enclosure boundaries preserved at the edge of garden plots; further surveyed enclosure, modern agglomerated fields; an area of private parkland associated with Skellow Grange and a water-powered site at Skellow Mill.

The site is currently two fields in arable use, one to the north butting Green Lane and one to the south, along Crabgate Lane. Both fields are bounded by the A1 to the west.


The 1851-54 OS map records the site as subdivided into four enclosures. By 1971 the fields within the site had been amalgamated to take on its current form. Within the buffer zone, the 1854 map depicted two limestone quarries adjoining the site, one of which is now occupied by the site of a house and garden (a school in 1932). Skellow Grange (later Burghwallis Grange) and landscape gardens were shown to the northeast of the site. Development to the south and southeast of the site had begun by the publication of the 1948 County Series.

Survival:

The site has been cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of any below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. A trackway probably associated with a wider landscape of Iron Age to Roman field systems has been recorded as a cropmark within the northeast of the site.


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

Significance:

Remains associated with Iron Age to Romano-British activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


Twenty-first century aerial photography shows the site as under cultivation and subdivided into two fields, with hedgerows along parts of the boundaries. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR records one monument and one event within the site. The monument is part of an area where frequent remains of pottery kilns associated with Doncaster’s Roman pottery production industry have been found. It is not known if any such remains have been found within the site itself. The event comprised archaeological monitoring undertaken prior to and during the construction of a water pipeline. This ran along the western edge of the site and, along with the pottery production area, extends into the buffer zone. The monitoring did not identify any archaeological features within the site. Five further monuments and three events were recorded within the buffer: the suggested route of a Roman road from Lincoln to York via Bawtry and Doncaster, and a further road branching off the main route and following the line of Warning Tongue Lane; the possible site of a medieval grange of Kirkstall Abbey; a later farm on the possible site of the grange; and a nearby area of ridge and furrow earthworks. The events comprised areas of geophysical survey associated with the water pipeline, and an evaluation off Warning Tongue Lane to the south of the site.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. One Scheduled Monument, an area of Roman pottery kilns associated with the Doncaster pottery industry, lies within the buffer to the south of the site.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded evidence of post medieval ridge and furrow in the southern part of the site and the eastern part of the buffer, and evidence of a 20th century bomb crater and a firing range bank in the south of the buffer. Lidar data indicates that the ridge and furrow remains within the site no longer survive as earthworks.

The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies that the site lies with an area of enclosed wetland known as ‘The Carrs’. The land was improved and drained from a wet wood environment in the 17th century. The buffer incorporates further areas of drained wetland, private housing to the east and Black Carr Plantation to the north. The geometric nature of the plantation suggests that it was planted at the time of Cantley parliamentary enclosure in 1779.

The site is currently part of four fields, in a mixture of arable and pasture usage. The western boundary is formed by Warning Tongue Lane and the southern boundary by a railway line. One of the boundaries runs on an irregular route suggestive of a former stream.


The 1854 map shows the site as seven to eight fields, some defined by drainage ditches as well as hedges. Bridge Road ran through the southern part of the site. The site was largely unchanged until some of the field boundaries were removed between 1968 and 1982.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map depicts Warning Tongue Lane running through the buffer to the immediate west of the site, with Bessacarr Grange shown to the west, Black Carr Plantation to the north and Short Plats Plantation to the east. The remainder of the buffer comprised fields. By 1894, the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway had been constructed to the south of the site. The area to the south of the railway became gradually developed with housing estates between 1930 and 1962, with a gas valve compound shown to the immediate west of the southern end of the site by 1982. Further development took place to the west of Warning Tongue Lane by 1993.

Survival:

The site has been drained and cultivated, which could have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be high. Possible cropmark features are visible on recent aerial photographs in part of the site, though these are of uncertain function and date. The site lies within an area noted for the remains of kilns associated with Doncaster’s Roman pottery industry, and such remains could survive within the site.




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 could be of Local to National significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as four fields in a mixture of arable and pasture use. Possible cropmark features are visible in the field to the north of the probable stream on the 2002 and 2009 aerial photographs. These are of unclear layout, but appear to include a long sub-rectangular enclosed area running east-west across the site, and possible fragmentary ditches. Lidar data shows only the current field boundaries and trackways, including a probable drainage ditch along the line of the possible stream. No earthwork remains of ridge and furrow cultivation are shown within the field to the south of this, where they were recorded in 1948.

The SMR records one monument within the site, comprising the site of a medieval windmill, still extant as a grassy mound. Eight findspots are recorded within the buffer zone, all clustered to the southeast of the site. Three of these are of Roman coins, two are of medieval silver coins, and three are of undated lead and bronze objects.

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

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded significant remnants of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries and a trackway within the buffer zone, immediately to the southwest of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as surveyed enclosure dating to the 1825 Enclosure Award, although the removal of around 75% of the boundaries depicted on the 1851 OS mapping means that this land is now on the cusp of the modern 'agglomerated field' category. However, there remains significant legibility in the surrounding roads and hedgerows of its surveying at the time of Parliamentary enclosure of Hatfield in 1825. The hedgerows in the area are all shown on the award plan.

Within the buffer, to the south of the site, the landscape character is much the same as that of the site. Immediately to the east, north and west of the site is modern housing, with no legibility of earlier landscapes. Further to the west, at the edge of the buffer, is a significant area of well preserved enclosure landscape.

The site currently comprises one complete triangular field currently bounded by hedgerows on its south-western third, Doncaster Road on its north-western third and the garden boundaries of houses on Lings Lane on its eastern third.


The site was shown on the 1854 OS map as part of two fields, with the windmill (corn) marked on. By 1892, the windmill was depicted as an unlabelled earthwork mound. Also in 1892, a footpath ran roughly east-west across the northernmost of the two fields, although this was no longer present by 1907. No other changes are evident within the site.

Within the buffer zone, by 1854 Doncaster Road, Lings Lane and Coppice Lane were already extant, with little development shown within the area, apart from to the east of Lings Lane. Most of the area was fields. Several unlabelled buildings were immediately to the east of the site and the area to the immediate north of the site appeared to be sunken, denoted with hachures. On the south-western edge of the buffer was an area marked as the supposed site of a battle in AD 633. By 1892, the Artesian Well Brewery was present to the northeast of the site, renamed Don Valley Brewery by 1930. Some almshouses were marked just to the north, with further development on the eastern side of Lings Lane, most of which appeared to be houses. Some buildings had also appeared on Doncaster Road, which had developed further by 1948. Allotment gardens were present just to the southeast of the site in 1930. By 1968, the sunken area immediately to the north of the site was labelled Works. By 1984, the area between Doncaster Road and Coppice Lane was heavily developed with housing, and the western side of Lings Lane had also become developed. By 1992, a large school had been built just to the north of Coppice Lane.

Survival:

Due to the lack of deep ground disturbance on the site, the potential for the survival of previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to high. The remains of a windmill shown in 1854 survive as an earthwork mound. Cropmark evidence for Iron Age to Roman field systems has been recorded adjacent to the site, and associated buried remains may extend into the site itself.




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

Significance:

The windmill is considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Buried remains associated with the Iron Age to Roman agricultural landscape could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their nature, condition and extent of survival.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs appear to show the site as arable land. The grassy mound of the windmill is barely visible on aerial photographs, although it appears as a clear, slightly irregularly shaped earthwork on the Lidar image, with damage shown to the sides of the mound. Some former post-medieval field boundaries are shown on Lidar data within the buffer zone, to the southwest of the site.

The SMR records five monuments and two events within the buffer zone. The monuments comprise the Church of St Lawrence, which is 12th-century in origin and grade I listed, located to the southwest of the site. Three timber framed buildings are also recorded, located to the south and southwest of the site, as well as an Elizabethan coin found on Main Street, to the southwest of the site. Both events are also located to the southwest: archaeological monitoring at St Lawrence Vicarage, which recorded a post-medieval ditch and pit, and excavations at the Church of St Lawrence, which revealed a 17th-/18th-century ditch.

No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Nine listed buildings are present within the buffer zone, one of which is the grade I listed Church of St Lawrence, which is also recorded as monument in the SMR data. All of the remaining listed buildings are situated to the south or west of the site within the historic core of Hatfield, and are grade II listed. It should be noted that the location of the Travis Charity School (1192369) on the Historic England database is wrong, with the building actually being to the west of the point shown, on the opposite side of the road to the current Hatfield Travis Infant School, which is of modern origin.

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 majority of the site as a well-preserved section of 'Firth Field', a well-maintained group of parliamentary enclosure fields retaining nearly all of the hedgerows first shown on the 1825 enclosure award. There is fragmentary visibility of previous landscape types, and many of the 1825 boundaries still exist. A small section at the northeast side of the site is characterised as agglomerated fields of Martin Common. Progressive removal of field boundaries in the later 20th century has created the current large fields, and only fragmentary visibility of the fields created by the 1804 Haworth parliamentary enclosure exists, surviving within some of the external boundaries and the name Martin Common.

Within the buffer are a variety of landscape character areas, mostly comprising modern housing, industry, or regenerated scrubland. Legibility of previous landscape characters within the buffer is poor due to the density of modern development in the area.

The site currently comprises a number of narrow rectangular fields in a mixture of arable and grassland usage. They are largely separated by hedgerows and bounded by North Ings Road on the eastern edge of the site.


The 1854 OS map depicted the site as a group of fields, with a footpath in the north-western corner. There was little change by 1893; occasional trees were depicted within some of the fields, although by 1906 no trees were shown within the site. By 1962, the footpath at the north-western end of the site was no longer present, and one small east-west aligned field boundary at the eastern end of the site had been removed, although aside from this, the field boundaries present on the site today remain the same as on the 1854 OS map, which are likely to respect the 1825 enclosure boundaries. By 1982 a single building was present at the southern end of the site, marked as ‘depot’., with a second building added to the west by 2002, with two further buildings at the southern end of the site, off Ivy Close.

Within the buffer zone, North Ings Road, forming the eastern boundary of the site, was extant by 1854. To the south and west of the site, the core of Hatfield was already established, with numerous buildings along High Street and Station Road. A grammar school was present to the northwest of the site off Station Road, which by 1893 was labelled as Travis’s Charity School. By 1962, a large factory was present to the west of the site and by 1966 the Travis School had been re-located to the opposite side of Station Road and considerably enlarged. By 1982, the buildings to the south of the site off the High Street comprises a surgery, builder’s yard and private housing. The area to the north of the site has remained undeveloped and largely retains the field enclosure



pattern of 1825.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century, which may have caused some truncation to below-ground deposits. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains below the plough zone is considered to be moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.


The 2002-2009 aerial photographs show the site as a group of narrow rectangular fields, many in arable usage, with some strips at the western end used as waste/scrub land. Lidar data shows only the extant field boundaries within the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two findspots, one monument and two events are recorded in the buffer zone. The finds were a Roman brooch and a medieval Scottish silver penny, both from unspecified locations near Bawtry, whist the monument was a probable Iron Age to Roman field system recorded from cropmarks at Gally Hills in the western part of the buffer. One of the events related to investigation of part of this field system, with geophysical survey and trial trenching identifying two possible Iron Age ditches, as well as field drains and modern intrusive features. Within the southern part of the buffer, the second event related to geophysical survey undertaken after significant quantities of Roman pottery and coins were found, along with in situ column bases indicating the presence of a structure.

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

The site is not covered by the Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project, so no cropmarks other than those recorded on the SMR are known within the site or buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the eastern part of the buffer as agglomerated fields where later 20th-century boundary loss has removed the former character, which comprised strip fields probably enclosed from medieval open field prior to 1766. Other character zones within the buffer include a sand and gravel quarry to the immediate north of the site, further agglomerated fields to the northwest, modern private and social housing estate and a works yard to the west and south, and piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field at the southern edge.

Historic landfill data records a strip of infilled land to the immediate northeast of the site, named Narrow Lane, but no further details are given. This is shown on historic mapping as a 19th-century sand and gravel pit.

The site is currently a roughly triangular field, to the west of the railway.


The 1854 map depicts the site as four narrow strip fields characteristic of piecemeal enclosure from medieval open field. Only two fields were shown by 1962, with the other boundaries removed after 1956. No further changes were shown by 1992.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map shows the Great Northern Railway running to the west of the site on a roughly north-south alignment, and Bawtry station and turn tables to the southwest. Narrow Lane was shown along the southern boundary of the site, becoming a footpath across fields to the northeast, with the Bawtry and Selby turnpike road to the south. A sand pit was shown at Pingle Hill to the north of the site, no longer depicted in 1893, by which date a small building was shown in an enclosure between the southwest side of the site and the railway line, labelled 'pump' in 1902. Two small sandpits were shown to the immediate north of the site in 1929, with a larger sandpit to the northeast by 1948, shown as disused in 1962. Housing had been built to the south of Narrow Lane by the latter date. The 1992 map showed kennels in the field to the immediate north of the site.

Survival:

The site has been fields since at least the mid-19th century. The relative lack of sub-surface disturbance suggests the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology is moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.




The 2002-2012 aerial photographs show the site as a field variously under pasture or cultivated, possibly for hay. The kennels are shown to the north of the site and some recent buildings in the plot to the west between the site and the railway line. No cropmark features are visible within the site.

Lidar data does not show any features within the site. The former sand pits to the north are visible as earthworks.

ESY463 Gradiometer Survey on Land at Gally Hills, Doncaster Road

Gradiometer results showed the presence of linear anomalies and evidence for modern field drains, field boundaries and quarrying activity. Other anomalies were identified that may be archaeological, but evaluation of the area in 1998 demonstrated that the geophysical anomalies were mainly modern intrusive features, apart from two probably ancient (Iron Age?) ditches.

The SMR identifies one monument within the site, part an area where frequent remains of pottery kilns associated with Doncaster’s Roman pottery production industry have been found. Within the buffer, six monuments, one findspot and one event are recorded. This includes medieval activity in the form of fish ponds, a moated site and hall, as well as the site of a post-medieval manor house, all within Auckley. An evaluation on Main Street uncovered a pit containing early Bronze Age pottery and flints, and the findspot of a Neolithic axe or adze is recorded in the west of the buffer.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One grade II listed structure is recorded within the buffer, consisting of a mounting block adjacent to the northeast corner of the Eagle and Child Public House.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records 20th-century sand and gravel extraction over the northern half of the site in 1948, extending into the western buffer, and two further areas of extraction in the southern part of the buffer.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the site as located within an area of drained wetland comprising medium-sized fields bounded by hedgerows and drainage along the River Torne. The fields were present prior to the 1778 Parliamentary Enclosure award. To the south, within the buffer is a sand and gravel extraction pit on the site of former fields. The extraction pit dates from 1967. Within the buffer to the east are later 20th-century housing within the historic core of Auckley, the street pattern of which may have medieval origins. To the north is a modern housing development.

The site is currently three fields, mainly in arable use. Housing is located to the immediate east.


The 1854 map shows the site as part of five fields, two larger ones to the east and smaller ones to the east. The site was bounded by Bell Butts Lane to the south and by housing in Auckley to the north. Some boundary loss meant that four fields were shown in 1892. The division between the two larger fields was not shown on the 1948 map, at around the date that aerial photography suggested these two fields had been a sand and gravel pit. It is possible that this occurred in the gap in mapping during the Second World War, with the 1962 map showing these fields as a disused quarry. A diagonal cart track laid out across this area forms the current western site boundary. The western fields appeared to have been infilled and regraded by 1975. The eastern fields were unchanged by 1993, with the current eastern boundary not established until a housing estate was built by 2002.

Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map shows a small quantity of farm buildings and houses in the historic core of Auckley to the north and east of the site and fields to the south and west. Sand and gravel extraction was shown to the southeast in 1962, in the form of two ponds on former extraction sites. These had been infilled or silted by 1975, when a series of linear ponds were shown to the southeast and substantial housing estates had been built in the eastern part of the buffer. The housing complex in the field to the east of the site was built after 1993, as was Baxter’s Farm to the west.

Survival:

The northwest half of the site has previously been subject to sand and gravel extraction and no archaeological remains will survive in this area. The southern area does not appear to have been significantly disturbed, and the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology in this area is considered moderate to high. The site lies within an area of known Roman activity, including the production of pottery, and Neolithic to Bronze Age finds have also been recovered within the buffer.




It is likely that further archaeological investigations will be required within the southern area if the site is brought forward for development.

Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with the Roman pottery industry could be of Local to National significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.

Note: Site 174 contains the smaller sites 049 and 330.


The 2002 to 2009 aerial photographs show the site as four fields, mainly in arable cultivation but with one field used for pasture throughout the period. Some hedged boundaries survive, mainly towards the southern end of the site. No Lidar data is currently available for the site.

Allocation Reference: 183 Allocation Type: Employment Site Name: Kirk Sandall Waste Water Treatment Works



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

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

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Earthwork post-medieval ridge and furrow remains were located in the northwest part of the buffer, mainly in areas since developed, and several circular features associated with a 20th-century anti-aircraft battery were recorded to the southeast of the site.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the majority of the site as Other Industry. This is an area of mixed industrial use adjacent to the River Don. It includes numerous large factories (many now demolished) as well as smaller works and yards, with industrialisation beginning in the mid-20th century. Prior to this, the land was agricultural and comprised fields probably enclosed from common land by Parliamentary Award in 1771. There is no legibility of the former landscape. Within the buffer to the immediate south is a sewage works. Other character zones within the buffer are defined as Drained Wetland, Public Park, Planned Estate (Social Housing), School, Glassworks, Canal or River Wharf.

The site is currently an irregularly-shaped area of grassland between the sewage works to the southwest and light industrial buildings to the northeast.


The majority of the site was shown as fields on the 1854 OS map. A short length of Little Lane and its southwest terminus extended into the site at that date, but had been removed by 1892. Other than the amalgamation of several field boundaries, no further changes were shown within the site on the 1930 OS map. All of the 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1959. No features were shown within the site on the 1993 OS map.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1854 OS map, including fields, Little Lane, West Lane, Fore Hill, the former course of the River Don, the Don Navigation and the Manchester Sheffield and Lincoln Railway line. A sewage farm was shown to the southwest of the site in 1906. West Lane had been renamed ‘Clay Lane’ by that date. The sewage works were shown with tanks, sludge beds, settling tanks and filter beds on the 1930 map. A works to the northwest, Wheatley Hall Road to the southeast and sewage works’ extensions to the southwest were shown in 1960, with a series of warehouses marked in 1969. Garages, depots, a ‘Pre-Cast Concrete Works’ and timber yard were marked within the buffer on the 1973 OS map. The sewage works had been extended again by 1993.

Survival:

The site was fields by 1854 and has remained undeveloped land since that date. The site of Long Sandall Roman fort lies approximately 0.35km to the northeast of the site. Given the orientation of the fort, the road that led from the fort’s south entrance is likely to have crossed the site. Roman cemeteries were located along the sides of roads and it therefore possible that burials from this period may also be located within the site. A vicus or civilian settlement may have been present in the fort’s immediate vicinity and there is the possibility that associated remains may be present within the site. Given the lack of deep ground disturbance, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to high.



Significance:

Unknown. Any remains associated with the Roman road, settlement or activity could be of Local to Regional



significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as rough grassland, with an area of possible seasonal flooding or waterlogged ground at the northwest side. Just outside the site boundary, one of the structures associated with the sewage works has been demolished, and shows as a parch mark, with a possible former track leading to it through the site also showing. A drainage ditch runs along the northwest site boundary. Lidar data shows an irregular area of minor ground disturbance along the northwest site boundary, close to the area of occasional standing water, and a bank along the edge of the drain forming the northwest boundary. Raised platforms in the west and southeast parts of the site are associated with the sewage works adjacent to these areas.

Allocation Reference: 185 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land at Mill Lane and Crabgate, Skellow



The SMR records one monument within the site: an unclassified cropmark of possible Iron Age to Roman date. Two findspots are recorded within the buffer zone: a Roman coin hoard and a single Roman coin, both from housing estates to the southwest of the site.

No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone, a mill building to the immediate west of the site and a farmhouse near the southern edge of the buffer.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records a curving double-ditched enclosure or trackway and three ditches as cropmarks within the site, probably of Iron Age to Roman date, and corresponding with the SMR monument. Two areas of post-medieval ridge and furrow were recorded as earthworks within the site in the 1940s, and a further area was within the buffer zone.

The Historic Environment Characterisation identifies the site as part of an area of modern agglomerated fields, formed by 20th-century rationalisation of smaller units. Further character zones within the buffer include ponds; modern private housing with partial legibility of former Parliamentary Enclosure plots defined by the edges of gardens; a planned garden suburb-type estate of 1920s-30s date which also preserves former Parliamentary Enclosure boundaries within the development; and modern private housing with no legibility of former landscapes.

The site is under cultivation and managed as one field, with trees relating to a relict boundary orientated northwest-southeast preserved within the west of the site.


The 1851-54 OS map depicts the site as subdivided amongst five fields of fairly regular appearance. The site was still shown as five fields in 1948, but most of the boundaries had been removed by 1962, leaving one large field with one small field at the western side.

Within the buffer, the 1851-54 map shows Skellow Mill, a corn mill, to the northwest of the site and Crossfield House to the southwest. By 1932 social housing had developed along Crossfield Lane to the south. By 1990, further development to the southwest had included the demolition of Crossfield House and the construction of social housing.

Survival:

The site has been under cultivation since at least the mid-20th century. This may have impacted on the preservation of any below-ground remains through truncation, as well as on the earthwork ridge and furrow remains recorded within the site in the 1940s but not visible on modern vertical aerial photographs. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is likely to be high. Cropmarks relating to possibly prehistoric to Roman features have been recorded within the site, including a semi-circle of double ditches, a sub-square enclosure and possible boundary ditches, and buried remains of these and associated features are likely to survive within the site.


Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if this site is allocated for development. The impact of development on the setting of the grade II listed Skellow Mill should also be considered.

Significance:

Remains associated with prehistoric to Roman settlement and agricultural activity could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their extent, nature and condition.




The 2002-2009 aerial photographs shows the site as under cultivation. The nature of the crop at the time the photographs were taken mean that no cropmarks are visible in any of the photographs. The recent cultivation suggest that it is unlikely that any earthwork remains of ridge and furrow survive within the field. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

The SMR records no events or monuments within the site. Within the buffer, one monument and one event are recorded. The monument relates to the suggested line of a Roman road, along what is now the A1(M). This follows the original line of military advance from Lincoln towards York, via Bawtry and Doncaster. The event records trial pits, field walking and geophysical survey which were carried out on discrete sites along the route of the A1(M).

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 north and west of the site. Within the east of the buffer, traces of medieval and post-medieval ridge and furrow have been recorded.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northern buffer as part of surveyed enclosure established in 1801. The field boundaries still largely respect the 1801 layout. Within the east and south of the buffer, the landscape character is dominated by modern housing developments. The majority of the western of the buffer is part of the Hampole Ings Surveyed Enclosure, which was enclosed in 1750 and retains many of the original boundaries.

The site currently comprises a single field, bounded by hedgerows on all four sides. The A1(M) is present immediately to the west of the site boundary, with a modern housing estate immediately to the south and east of the site boundary.


The 1854 OS map depicts the site as three fields, with hedgerow boundaries. By 1894, the internal field boundaries had been removed, and the site was shown as one single field, as it remains currently. No changes are evident on the site since then.

Within the buffer zone, the 1854 OS map depicts Green Lane, Crabgate Lane and the Great North Road, with a milestone is positioned on the latter road to the northwest of the site. A limestone quarry was marked in the field immediately to the north of the site, with two quarries in the field to the immediate south. A further quarry was depicted to the southwest of the site, labelled Great Leys Quarry on the 1894 map. By 1961, this was disused, and from 1982 its location was shown as a service area for the Great North Road (latterly A1(M)). The 1894 map labels the Great North Road as the suspected line of a Roman road. By 1906, the milestone had been moved to a position on the road at the north-western corner of the site, just outside the site boundary, and the two quarries to the south of the site were disused and planted with trees. By 1932, development had begun to the south of the site with the construction of houses on Crabgate Drive and a school within a former quarry to the north of the site. By 1981, housing development had begun to the west of Crabtree Lane, extending further by 1984. The 1990 map showed housing development to the south of the site at Sherwood Drive.

Survival:

The site has been enclosed since 1801 and it seems highly likely that it has been cultivated ever since; this may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate to high. Iron Age to Roman ditches are recorded as cropmarks in the vicinity and similar remains could extend into the site.


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



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable land, bounded by hedging on all four sides. Modern housing butts up to the south and east boundaries, whilst the A1(M) butts the western boundary. To the north are fields. There is no available Lidar data for the site.

The SMR does not hold any records for within the site itself. Within the buffer zone, the SMR records seven monuments, one to the west of the site and six to the south. The monument to the west is the site of a medieval windmill, extant today as a grassy mound. The monuments to the south are all findspots: two Roman coins, a medieval coin, two unidentified and undated lead objects, and one undated and unidentified bronze object.


The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded remnants of Iron Age to Roman field boundaries within the buffer zone, to the southwest of the site. Lidar data also shows former field boundaries in this area, although on a different alignment to those recorded by the Aerial Photographic Mapping Project and probably associated with removed post-medieval boundaries.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of surveyed enclosure dating to the 1825 Enclosure Award, with most of the boundaries still in existence today as historic hedgerows. Prior to the 1825 enclosure, the area was historically open fields; there is no legibility of former open field.

Within the buffer, to the east of the site, the landscape character is identical to that of the site itself. To the immediate west of the site, the landscape character is dominated by private housing, with no legibility of former landscapes. To the southwest of the site is an area which is part of Lings Field surveyed enclosure where substantial boundary loss means that there is only fragmentary visibility of the enclosure landscape in the surrounding roads and hedgerows. The surviving hedgerows in the area are all shown on the award plan.

The site currently comprises one complete field and an adjoining house. The site was part of enclosed land by 1825 and is currently bounded by hedgerows.


The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as the majority of a square field with a second narrow strip of land to the east. The area encompassing the site is marked as The Lings. The site has remained largely unchanged since, although at some point after 1982, the boundary between the square field and the narrow strip to the east was removed. The site includes a house, number 15A Lings Lane, which post-dates the 1982 OS map.

Within the buffer zone, by 1854 Doncaster Road, Lings Lane and Coppice Lane were already extant, although there was very little development in the area, with the exception of some houses on the east side of Lings Lane, to the immediate west of the site. Most of the buffer was fields. By 1892, Artesian Well Brewery was depicted to the northeast of the site, renamed the Don Valley Brewery by 1930, when almshouses were shown just to the north and further development had occurred to the east of Lings Lane, mainly housing. Some buildings had also been constructed on Doncaster Road, with further development in this area by 1948. Allotment gardens were located just to the southeast of the site in 1930. By 1968, a works was shown to the west of the site. The 1984 map depicted the area between Doncaster Road and Coppice Lane as heavily developed with housing, and the western side of Lings Lane had also become developed.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use, which may have truncated sub-surface deposits. Below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of previously unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate to high. Below the house at the western edge of the site, the archaeological potential is likely to be low. Cropmark remains of Iron Age to Roman field systems are recorded within the buffer, and similar features could extend into the site itself.


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



Significance:

Unknown.


Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable land. Lidar data shows the site as slightly disturbed ground, though no clear earthwork features are visible.

The SMR does not record any findspots, monuments or events within the site. Three findspots and four events are recorded in the buffer zone: two finds of Roman and medieval pottery, and a Roman bracelet and pottery. The events relate to evaluations at Finningley Quarry, which identified post-medieval field boundaries and field drains; a watching brief at Croft Road where a pit was recorded containing Roman pottery; trial trenching at Finningley Airport where sparse medeival to post-medieval remains were recorded, and an evaluation at Manor Farm, which recorded remains of 19th-century farm buildings.


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

The site comprises two parcels of land. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the northern part of the site as agglomerated fields created through progressive removal of field boundaries in the latter part of the 20th century, with only partial legibility of the pre-1778 hedgerow boundaries. The present character of the southern part of the site is recorded as a distribution centre, first depicted in 1985, with much of the area subject to gravel extraction and storage in 1968. Character zones within the buffer are defined as Agglomerated Fields, Plantation, Ancient Woodland, Other Mineral Extraction & Processing, Surveyed Enclosure (Parliamentary/ Private), Agglomerated Airport, Distribution Centre, Villas/ Detached Housing, Vernacular Cottages and Private Housing Estate.


The site was shown as fields on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. Other than field boundaries, the only feature shown within the site at that date was a footpath. While no changes were shown within the site by the 1956 OS map, a large, disused sand pit was shown in the southern part of the site on the 1962 map. The 19th-century field boundaries had been removed from the rest of the site by that date. The former extraction areas had been infilled and the land reclaimed by 1985, when a large depot was shown in the southern part of the site. This had expanded by 1992, when new plot boundaries had been created in the northern part of the site.

Various features were marked within the buffer zone on the 1885 OS map including fields, Old Bawtry Road, the Horse and Stag public house and various domestic properties at Finningley. Allotments were shown adjacent to the site on the 1903 map. Part of Finningley Airfield extended into the western part of the buffer on the 1956 OS map. The A614 ran through the eastern part of the buffer by 1961. A large area of gravel extraction was marked to the south of the site at that date, with further mineral extraction having taken place by 1968. Housing and a bus depot were also shown at that date. Further housing, a works, Spen Close Plantation and part of Great Wood were shown within the buffer on the 1985 map. A depot was marked on the 1992 OS map.

Survival:

Extensive mineral extraction had taken place in the southern part of the site by 1962. Any archaeological remains within the footprint of these works will have been destroyed. Deep ground disturbance does not appear to have occurred in the northern area of the site. In these areas, the potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains is moderate.


If the site is allocated for development, further archaeological investigation may be required in the northern part of the site, that has not been subjected to mineral extraction.

Significance:

Unknown in areas not subjected to mineral extraction. Negligible in areas subjected to mineral extraction.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the northwest part of the site as a field of pasture, while a large depot occupies the western part of the site and the southern area is rough grassland. The northeast part of the site was a piggery in 2002 and 2003, but was an area of rough grassland by 2007. Lidar data shows former tracks and small areas of surface disturbance.

The SMR records two monuments and one findspot within the buffer zone. The monuments are a timber-framed building of possibly medieval date and a post-medieval timber-framed barn, both located to the northwest of the site. The findspot is of Roman pottery, to the south of the site.

No Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. Two grade II listed buildings are recorded within the buffer zone to the northwest of the site, a house and a stable block.

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

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the western part of the buffer as surveyed enclosure dating to the 1825 Enclosure Award, with most of the boundaries shown on the enclosure map still in existence today as historic hedgerows. There is no legibility of former open field, but a significant area of well-preserved enclosure landscape is complete within this area.

To the immediate north of the site is the medieval core of Hatfield, within which are typical 'strip plots' established by at least the early 19th century. The character of this area is piecemeal developments within the frame of the probable medieval strip plots, with fragmentary legibility of former characters. To the north of the site is a well-preserved area of Parliamentary Enclosure within ‘Firth Field’, with further surveyed enclosure to the east of the site, where its character has been impacted by mid-20th-century housing. The M18 motorway is within the eastern part of the buffer zone.

The site currently comprises two complete fields, bounded by hedgerows to the south and west, Back Field Lane to the north, and New Mill Field Road to the east.


The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as two fields. By 1892 a pump had been installed at the south of the western field, with an associated boundary to the north of the pump. By 1906, the pump had been removed, although the boundary remained extant until at least 1956, having been removed by 1962. The site has remained two complete fields since that time.

Within the buffer zone, the 1854 map depicted Backfield Lane immediately to the north of the site, called Town Side Road, with the name change having occurred by 1892. A handful of buildings are shown on this road, but the High Street, slightly further to the north, was well-developed with several pubs, churches, and other residential and recreational/functional buildings. Two buildings were shown immediately to the northeast of the site. The 1892 map marks two pumps to the northwest of the site, with an Independent Chapel immediately north of the site. By 1962, a handful of buildings had been constructed to the south of the site, off New Mill Field Road. By 1981, the M1 was shown in the eastern part of the buffer, constructed in the 1970s. Little significant change has occurred within the buffer zone since then, with the northern area being well-developed, and the southern area having some development, but with more fields.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use, which may have truncated sub-surface deposits. Below the plough zone, the potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.



Significance:

Unknown.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs appear to show the site as two fields in mixed use, alternating between arable and scrub/ pasture. Lidar data for this site did not show any previously unrecorded features.

The SMR records one monument within the site, relating to the findspot of an undated quern, thought to be middle Iron Age to Roman in date. No further monuments or events are recorded within the site or the buffer.

There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the site and buffer zone.

The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records no features within the site. At the northern end of the buffer, fragmentary cropmarks of east to west aligned Iron Age to Romano-British trackways are recorded.

The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the north-western area of the buffer as the putative extent of Hatfield medieval deer park, which retains the character of enclosure of the land following disparkment in the 18th century. The remainder of the buffer is characterised by modern housing developments and schools, with highly fragmented legibility of former landscape characters.

The site currently comprises a single large plot and the back gardens and two semi-detached houses of Broadway (possibly no. 304 and 306). The field is currently covered with scrub vegetation and some mature trees, with several pathways.


The 1855 OS map shows the main part of the site as a single field, bounded by hedgerows, with a bridle road shown along the northern boundary. The gardens and houses of the two dwellings on Broadway, which are included in the small eastern extent of the site, were constructed by 1930. By 1974, the site was shown as scrub woodland, with a path along the eastern end of the site, between the field and the back gardens of the houses on Broadway, and this remained unchanged in 1992..

Within the buffer, the 1855 OS map shows the area entirely as fields. The only structure was a shed to the southwest of the site, which was no longer present by 1892. Major changes had occurred in the buffer by 1930, with the construction of Broadway and the associated houses built along it. Some houses were also present to the south of the site, off Green’s Road, and two large sand pits had been established to the southwest of the site, which had been extended by 1948. By 1956, a school had been established on the eastern side of Broadway, to the southeast of the site. By 1974, the sandpits to the southwest of the site are marked as disused, and covered with scrub woodland, which extended into the site. Housing development to the south had spread northward, almost up to the southern site boundary. The 1992 map showed the reclaimed sand pit site to the west of the site as a playing field.

Survival:

The site is likely to have been used for cultivation, and in the late 20th century was shown as scrub woodland. Ploughing and tree roots may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and root damage. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate. The current housing plots on Broadway are likely to have poor survival of archaeology, although this is only a small area of the site. The findspot of an Iron Age to Roman quern stone within one of the gardens suggests the potential for settlement of this date in the vicinity of the site.



Significance:

Unknown. Remains associated with Iron Age to Roman settlement could be of Local to Regional archaeological significance depending on their condition, nature and extent of survival.




Twenty-first century aerial photographs show the site as recreation ground, with mature trees and several pathways. A small eastern arm of the site covers two housing plots off Broadway (possibly no. 304 and 306).

Lidar data for the site shows closely spaced linear features on north-south and east-west alignments. Their function is unclear but they may be associated with recent cultivation. The bunds associated with two sand pits extend into the western edge of the site.

The SMR does not record any monuments or findspots within the site or buffer zone. One event is recorded within the buffer zone: archaeological investigations at Thorne Grammar School, which identified remains associated with medieval to post-medieval agriculture and 17th- to 18th-century pits.

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


The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as modern industrial, with multiple occupancy of a mixture of food processing and manufacturing industries, with no legibility of the parliamentary enclosure of the former North Common. Within the buffer zone, the main character zones comprise drained wetland and modern housing. Additional landscape character types include part of the Thorne Cables enclosed and drained land, also enclosed as part of the parliamentary enclosure award, with many of the narrow fields having been agglomerated in the late 20th century in association with the intensification of arable production. The remainder of the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century housing and industrial development, with no legibility or very fragmentary remains of previous character types.

Historic landfill data records the Brickworks, King Edward Road, Thorne, within the buffer zone to the west of the site.

The site is currently a vacant plot covered in rough grass, bounded by roads to the east, south and west, and a modern housing estate to the north.


The site forms the southern half of an enclosed field on the 1853 OS map. There is no evident change on the site until 1956, when the northern site boundary is constructed with the erection of a building over most of the site. There are also two smaller ancillary buildings to the south. By 1962, the building was labelled ‘factory’ and had been extended significantly to the east, and a third ancillary building had also been built, although this was not recorded again from 1970 onwards. In 1971 the main building was labelled ‘Textile Factory’ and a further ancillary building had been built to the east. By 1987, the road which forms the eastern site boundary had been constructed. Google Earth images show the buildings were still present in 2002, but by 2008, the site had been cleared and given over to scrub land. Traces of the hard-standing surrounding the buildings is still evident.

Within the buffer zone, a brick works had been established to the west by 1892 and had been extended by 1932. In 1902, a building, ‘Moorville’, was just to the north of the site, which had been extended by 1970, with the addition of an eastern boundary, which denotes the western boundary the site. By 1948, a number of houses had been constructed to the west of the site, which had been substantially added to by 1971. Another factory building was constructed immediately to the south of the site by 1975, along with a track which is now Coulman Road, and another building labelled ‘works’; these are beginnings of an industrial estate that had expanded significantly to the east by 1987. By 2008, two industrial-type buildings had been constructed immediately to the south of the site, with the associated land turned to scrub wasteland from arable land.

Survival:

Due to the presence of a mid-20th-century building on much of the site, the survival of any previously unrecorded heritage assets is considered to be low.


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



Significance:

Negligible.


The 2002 aerial photograph shows the site as occupied with industrial buildings. By 2008, these buildings had been removed, with the site given over to scrub wasteland. There is no Lidar data for the site.

ESY257 Archaeological Investigations at Thorne Grammar School

In 2004 a geophysical survey and a programme of trial trenching was undertaken at Thorne Grammar School. The results of the geophysical survey detected groups of linear anomalies probably reflecting traces of ridge and furrow ploughing and a former field system. The trial trenching confirmed that the anomalies detected in the geophysical survey related to the medieval/post-medieval agricultural use of the site in the form of ridge and furrows, field boundaries and drains. A number of pits and linear features dating from the 17/18th century in the south-west of the site were discovered.

The SMR does not record any monuments or events within the site. Two events are recorded within the buffer: a topographic survey at Sutton Common to the southeast of the site; and a trial trench evaluation at land off Doncaster Road, to the northeast, which established that the whole area evaluated appeared to have been affected by landfill, with no archaeological remains revealed. Two Scheduled Iron Age enclosures at Sutton Common are located 400m to the southeast of the buffer. Though affected by modern drainage and agriculture, these sites had excellent levels of preservation of organic remains, and represent settlement on raised ground within a marsh environment, with evidence for activity from the Mesolithic period onwards, the enclosures being constructed during the 4th century BC.

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. In the northern part of the buffer, the site of Askern Main Colliery and spoil heaps was recorded, and earthworks associated with 20th-century air raid shelters were plotted to the northwest of the site in the 1940s. Post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation remains were recorded as earthworks in the southern part of the buffer, also in the 1940s.

Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as the Askern Miners' Welfare Hall and Grounds, recreation grounds probably established c.1911 for miners housed in the Instoneville colliery village. Further character zones within the buffer include allotment gardens and an industrial estate to the east, agglomerated fields to the west, the drained wetland of Sutton Common to the southeast, and a school, allotments and housing associated with Instoneville planned colliery village to the north. The Askern Main Colliery site extends into the northern edge of the buffer.

The site is currently an area of playing fields around the Miners' Welfare Institute building in the centre. Two semi-detached houses and an adjacent office building stand at the northern corner, at the junction of Sutton Road and Manor Way.


The 1854 map shows the site as part of a small group of fields in a triangle of land between the Stream Dike to the south, Sutton Road to the north and the A19 Doncaster and Selby turnpike road to the east. The fields were small with irregular, slightly curving boundaries suggestive of piecemeal enclosure from open field. The internal boundaries had been removed by 1893. By 1932, the site had become the Miners' Welfare Park, with tennis courts, a bowling green and pavilion shown in the western half, a band stand in the centre and an unlabelled pitch area with a flagstaff and fountain marked at the eastern side. This was shown as a playground with a paddling pool in 1961. Two semi-detached houses and a larger building were shown at the corner of Sutton Road and Manor Way. By 1961, a further bowling green had been added in the eastern corner, and a miners' welfare institute was shown in the centre of the site, the bandstand having been removed. The 1990 map showed the institute having increased in size, but no other changes within the site.

Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed the large, apparently unenclosed area of Sutton Common to the south of the site, with piecemeal enclosures to the north of Sutton Road and more regular enclosures to the northeast at Askern Mather. A gravel pit was shown at the northern edge of the buffer. Large, regular enclosures were shown within Sutton Common by 1892. The 1932 map showed Manor Way along the northern boundary of the site, with housing and a school to the north, part of the Instoneville colliery village, associated with Askern Main Colliery to the north. A recreation ground was located to the east of Doncaster Road. The area to the south of the site was still fields at that date. By 1948, a cricket ground was shown to the south of the site, with an adjacent 'sports ground' by 1961. Allotments were shown to the northeast at the latter date, and a playground to the northwest of the site. A warehouse was shown on the former recreation ground to the east of the site in 1990.



Survival:

The site has been playing fields since the early 20th century. The extent of landscaping undertaken to create the bowling greens and tennis courts appears to be minimal, but some sub-surface disturbance may have occurred. The area within the footprint of the miners’ institute building and the houses and offices at the northern corner is likely to be disturbed. Within the remainder of the site, the potential for the survival 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 shows the site as playing fields, with defined bowling greens and tennis courts at the western side, and open grass to the east around the miners’ institute building. The tennis courts are overgrown with scrub vegetation, with the rest of the area maintained as lawns. The former playground, ponds and fountain at the eastern end are no longer shown, with the area now lawn and a brick shed, possibly a bike shed, towards the eastern side. Street View indicates that the welfare institute is a mid- to late 20th-century two-storey brick-built building with flat roofs and single storey extensions to the north. The houses and office building at the northern corner are also two-storey and brick built, with stone window sills and hipped roofs, in an early 20th-century style. The front of the office building has been greatly modified in the later 20th century and may formerly have been a shop. There is no Lidar coverage for this site.

ESY500 Field Evaluation on land off Doncaster Road

In 1996 a programme of trial trenching was undertaken on land adjacent to Doncaster Road in Askern. It appears that the whole area under assessment had been affected by landfill, or the activities associated with landfill. No features or finds of any archaeological interest were made in any of the trenches.

Allocation Reference: 198 Allocation Type: Housing Site Name: Land off North Ings Road, Hatfield



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

There are no Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings within the site. Two grade II listed buildings are located at the southwest edge of the buffer zone, a mid-18th-century house which is now divided into flats, and a late 18th-century stable block associated with the house.


Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as part of a well-preserved section of 'Firth Field', a well-maintained group of parliamentary enclosure fields retaining nearly all of the hedgerows first shown on 1825 enclosure award. There is fragmentary visibility of previous landscape types, and many of the 1825 boundaries still exist.

Within the buffer are a variety of landscape character areas. To the south and east of the site, the majority of the character areas comprise modern housing and other developments. Legibility of previous landscape characters is poor due to the density of modern development in the area. To the north, the character area comprises municipal parkland created from part of Firth Field between 1967 and 1982. The park contains fragmented lines of trees originating from the surveyed enclosure of the field.

The site is currently a single field and bounded by North Ings Road on the eastern side, and hedgerows elsewhere.


The site is shown on the 1854 OS map as the northern part of a single field, and no obvious changes occurred on the site up until the 1992 OS map. At some point between 1992 and 2002, the current southern site boundary was established, likely to be the northern property boundary for a building that also appears around this time.

Within the buffer zone, North Ings Road, forming the eastern boundary of the site, was extant by 1854. To the southwest, the core of Hatfield was already established, with numerous buildings along High Street. An Independent Chapel was present on Back Field Lane and a handful of buildings were depicted along Old Thorne Road, two of which are labelled Firthfield House and East Field House. By 1906, a triangle of land between Old Thorne Road and North Ings Road was an allotment garden, and a smithy had been built off Old Thorne Road, both of which are no longer marked by 1948. At this time, some cottages were located to the north of the former allotment garden, later labelled as Firth Hill Cottages. By 1981, the land immediately surrounding and to the north of these cottages had been developed as Hatfield Marina.

Survival:

The site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th century, and this may have impacted on sub-surface deposits through truncation. Below the zone impacted by ploughing, the survival of previously un-recorded buried archaeological remains is considered to be moderate.


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

Significance:

Unknown.

Note: Site 198 falls within larger Site 171.




Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site in arable use, with hedged boundaries. Lidar data shows the northern and southern field boundaries as slight earthworks.
