Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken of land to the south of Simmondley, Glossop. The assessment was required in relation to a proposed new bridleway route from Plainsteads Farm to High Lane. The assessment comprised a site visit, documentary and cartographic research. The proposed route passed through an area of coal mining, probably 18th to 19th century in date and part of Simmondley Colliery. Further the southeast were a series of small quarry pits for the extraction of sandstone for local building purposes. These mainly appeared to have pre-dated the 20th century. A number of hollow ways were in close proximity to the route, some possibly medieval or earlier in date. For part of its route, the bridleway followed the course of a suggested Roman road, although no traces of this were visible on the ground. Prehistoric flint artefacts had been recovered at Whiteley Nab, close to the proposed route. There was a risk to archaeology in some areas of this proposed bridleway route. [Au(adp)] |
