Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a programme of archaeological mitigation at the site of an extension to Conisbrough Cemetery, off Sheffield Road, Conisbrough, South Yorkshire. The Site (centred on NGR SK 50562 97794), is located 1.1km to the south-west of Conisbrough. An earlier archaeological evaluation of the Site (ArcHeritage 2011) identified a large double-ditch and embankment. The earliest phase of activity was represented by the substantial north-east to south-west running double-ditch, up to 3m in width and 1m in depth, with a parallel embankment and wall on its south-eastern side. Ddating evidence recovered from the primary and secondary filling of the ditch comprised sherds of post-medieval redware ceramic. The ditch is thought to represent the boundary of the medieval deer park at Conisbrough and depicted on later mapping of the Site as 'Park Balk'. A second phase of activity included the addition of a 2.7m wide cobbled trackway running parallel to the double-ditch. No dating evidence was recovered for the trackway, however, it appears on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Also assigned to this phase were three discrete features, interpreted as tree bowls, two of which had later been infilled with rubble. A subsoil later developed over the site sealing the earlier phase archaeological features including the upper levels of the Park Balk double-ditch and embankment. Artefacts recovered from the deposit ranged in date from the 18th to the mid 20th century. Extensive damage by ploughing was noted across the excavated area and other modern intrusions included drainage pipes.
