Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by Sheffield City Council (the Client) to undertake an archaeological woodland survey at Burbage Plantation, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 426418 381434 (Figure 1). The Burbage Valley is one of the most important areas in the Peak District for evidence of past landscape use, with monuments in the valley ranging from major prehistoric sites to more recent 19th and 20th century industry. 1.1.3 In the late 1960s part of the Burbage Valley was planted with trees, intended as a commercial crop. It is intended that, as part of the Council's continuing management plan, the present tree cover will be replaced with native broadleaves. A previous survey at the Site and surrounding valley in 2006 (Bevan 2006) recorded over 150 new archaeological features and findspots. Although a large scale survey has taken place previously, given the nature of the landscape, other features may still remain to be identified. The purpose of the survey was to confirm the presence of archaeological features within the Site as identified by Bevan (2006), and also to record any additional archaeological features or findspots within the proposed development areas and assess their significance. It is intended that the results of the survey will also help to guide future conservation and management plans for the site |
