Abstract
Archaeological Survey in Canklow Woods, Rotherham
I D Latham
1 - 8
Reports a survey, undertaken in 1992 at the behest of the local Borough Council, to assess the archaeological remains in the area -- particularly their suitability for public presentation and conservation needs. Previously surveyed in the 1940s, and partly scheduled in 1952, the area covers prehistoric to Roman field boundaries and enclosures. The 1992 survey found further, more complex, earthworks and terracing outside the scheduled area and recommends extending the boundaries to cover these.
The Derwent cross shaft: discovery and excavation 1991
9 - 18
Discovered in the ruins of the village, the cross shaft is dated to Late AS by virtue of its decoration. Excavations aimed at ascertaining the relationship between the stone and the building or enclosure it was found in. It appears to have been reused in the fireplace of a post-medieval cottage, and its presence in the area also hints at the possibility of a pre-Conquest church. `Appendix I' (15-16) gives details of the location and a drawing of the stone, and `Appendix II' (16-18) provides photographic illustration.
Hilltop chapel, Attercliffe, Sheffield
Chris G Cumberpatch
K M Miller
19 - 29
Reports recording of the stone floor and positions and inscriptions of the grave slabs within the chapel, a record and reconstruction of the internal layout, and a record of any burials in danger of disturbance, in advance of renovation work. There is a history of the chapel from 1629 to the date of renovation in 1991, and particular mention of the coffin of Arthur Speight (c1738). Appendix one gives `Constitution of the original endowment of the chapel (£10.0.0 per annum)' (27) and appendix two `Monuments and grave slabs within the chapel' (27-9).
A Neolithic antler macehead from North End Pot, Ingleton, North Yorkshire
John A Gilks
T Lord
57 - 59
Reports a macehead found in 1988 at the site of discoveries of human and animal bone material (no previous artefacts). A description of the object, fashioned from the base of a shed red deer antler, is followed by a comment on their occurence with adult male burials and dating by association with other gravegoods.
The human skull from Tom Bell's cave, Hardcastle Crags, West Yorkshire and its relative date
John A Gilks
60 - 62
Reports documentary evidence for this now lost skull, found in 1899 and appearing at a local society meeting as late as 1953 (or 1952). Assessment of a remaining photographic slide along with recent research into cave burial practices allows a hazarded guess of Neolithic date.
Recent fieldwork on Beeley Warren, Beeley, Derbyshire
Clive R Hart
F Robinson
63 - 65
Reports the discovery of two stone cross-bases adding to the picture in north Derbyshire. A number of possible functions are outlined, including abbey boundary markers for the nearby Beauchief Abbey, and Christianising factors on ancient ritual landscapes.
A carved stone at Blackwell-in-the-Peak, Derbys
Barbara S Jones
66 - 70
Reports a block of carved gritstone discovered in the edging stones of a wall on a predominantly medieval manor site at Blackwell Hall Farm. It is thought to be a fragment of a circa ninth-century Late Anglian cross.
A medieval cross slab grave cover at St John the Baptist's church, Staveley
Peter F Ryder
71 - 73
The internal sills of windows in the church are formed from medieval grave covers exhibiting decorated surfaces. A complete slab in the western two-light window is described. An unusual emblem on the left side may represent a musical instrument, but this is not certain.
