Abstract:		 Opencast coal mining has reportedly been undertaken across about a third of the proposed wetland site. This land has been restored to farmland. Any archaeological remains in this area will have been removed by the mining activity. The main areas in which buried archaeology may survive are to the south of Lowfield Lane, the area to the north of Lowfield Farm and the area to north and south of West Moor Lane. Any topsoil and subsoil removal in these areas could impact on buried archaeological remains. There is a moderate potential for prehistoric to Romano-British remains within undisturbed areas of the site. There is also the potential for buried remains of relict courses of the River Dearne in the southern part of the site, including one loop which was recorded within the southwest arm of the site until the 1970s. The Cranewell Dike has also been straightened, and remains relating to an earlier course may survive. Palaeochannels could preserve waterlogged organic remains, which have the potential to provide information on the ancient environment and human activity. The proposed wetland habitat is adjacent to a WWII heavy anti-aircraft gun emplacement site, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 29993). The creation of the wetland is unlikely to impact on physical remains associated with the SAM, and the visual impact is considered to be low.
