Abstract:
The work was carried out as part of the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership (DVLP), a HLF-funded 5-year programme of projects focussing on the historic buildings and landscapes of the Dearne Valley. By working with local communities, the Partnership aims to protect, preserve and enhance the area. As part of the DVLP, the Archaeology and Geology Project has been established, which will enable more of the historic environment of the Dearne Valley to be surveyed through the archaeological investigation of ten sites, of which New Hall Farm is one. The project aims to enhance understanding of the heritage of the area as well as developing skills, knowledge and capacity within local communities. The site is focused on two fields, where crop marks in the form of ditched enclosures have long been known to exist; 13 Acre Field, some 250m north-east of the farm, and Far Dry Field, some 400m to the south. The known presence of these crop marks prompted a geophysical survey (TPA 2017) in February 2017, as an earlier stage of this project. The survey revealed a number of archaeologically significant anomalies and confirmed the presence of the two ditched enclosures, whilst also accurately mapping their location and extent. In order to further investigate these enclosures, two trenches were excavated, one through each enclosure ditch. Trench 1, located in 13 Acre, contained one stone feature of uncertain function, with ephemeral traces of the enclosure ditch, although no dating material was recovered. Trench 2, located in Far Dry, revealed a well-defined enclosure ditch with numerous sherds of Iron Age/ Romano-British pottery, along with a burnt feature located within the enclosure.
