Abstract: |
A housing development comprising 92 dwellings is proposed on land to the east of Rother Crescent, Treeton, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The development area encompasses 2.8ha of arable land above the River Rother. An archaeological evaluation comprising 12 trial trenches, totalling 700 linear metres, found the remains of an early boundary ditch; a small undated pit, and a series of parallel furrows, indicative of medieval arable cultivation. Three modern features were identified, the largest of these was a rubbish pit which contained glass condiment bottles dating from the early 20th century, and a King George V penny dated 1913. |
