Archaeol S Yorkshire

Notes on a survey of part of the Iron Age and Romano-British quern manufacturing site at Wharncliffe Rocks, to the northwest of Sheffield, following the exposure of quern workings by a fire in 1996. The survey recorded details of over 2,300 quern roughouts, along with traces of contemporaneous working floors and tracks. The overwhelming majority of the roughouts identified belonged to the flat-disc type, with a small percentage of beehive type roughouts.

Notes on a continuing survey of a selected area of Hallam Moors to the west of the city of Sheffield. The survey included a small, recently discovered stone circle and surrounding moorland on Ash Cabin Flat; and two sets of earthworks near a disused quarry to the north of Redmires Reservoirs, which archival research revealed to be a trench-warfare training area for the Sheffield City Battalion during World War 1. A small cup-marked stone discovered near Redmires Reservoir is described in a postscript.
