Abstract:		 The assessment was undertaken of two areas of council-owned land, prior to its sale. Barberfields Farm (SK 297829) comprised an area of pasture, subdivided by drystone walls of the enclosure period (late 19th century). A range of industrial activities had taken place in the vicinity. The Ringinglow areas were mined for coal during the post-medieval period, and the subsurface workings of one of these mines may have extended into the northern part of the study area. Surfaces remains, thought to relate to mining activity, were identified on the western edge of the study area, close to Sheephill Road. A copperas works and possible lead-smelting site were located immediately outside of the study area, adjacent to the north-west boundary. A brief survey and photographic record of the farm buildings was also made. Several phases of construction were identified, and further study of these buildings was recommended. The land at Holdworth (SK 282910) also comprised pasture fields, bounded by enclosure drystone walls. The main features of note in this area were disused sandstone quarries in the south-west portion of the study area, and the location of three concrete footings for wartime antiaircraft cables. These cables had been strung across the Loxley Valley to prevent the Damflask reservoir and dam from aircraft attack. [Au(abr)]
