This area includes most of the buildings shown in Adwick on Dearne in 1851 around which the current village form has developed in the 20th century (see HSY5775 for character of the later infill). Also included are open areas within the probable historic settlement area that have been undeveloped since at least 1851 and within which a higher potential of archaeological remains may be expected. Historic fabric includes four 18th - 19th century farmsteads (in the case of 'Manor Farm' much enlarged in the later 20th century) and some contemporary cottages. Fragmentary legibility of earlier building phases in this area undocumented but probable.
