Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 8 hectares, was carried out at Upper Haugh, near Rotherham, in advance of a proposed housing development. A map regression was also undertaken. The survey and research have confirmed the location and extent of an open cast mine in the centre of the site in operation in the early 1950s; the land was re-instated and returned to agriculture in 1954. Anomalies caused by former field boundaries, drains, pipes and other 19th and 20th century activity have been identified. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified. On the basis of the geophysical survey and research about one third of the site has no archaeological potential with the remainder considered as having a low archaeological potential. |
