Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the land adjacent to Mosham Road on behalf of Red Squirrel Developments. The positions of four evaluation trenches were agreed upon by South Yorkshire Archaeology Services after consultation of a historical map regression of the development site. The trenches aimed to target areas close to the roads in the attempt to reveal any remains relating to medieval burgage plots. The evaluation revealed that the south of the site had been heavily truncated through modern activity. No archaeological remains were uncovered in trenches one and four. The two trenches located on the north side of the site revealed a series of pits containing animal bone thought to be from 18th/ 19th century farm activity and a large pit in trench three contained sherds of medieval/early post-medieval pottery that may be related to activity associated with the medieval burgage plots. |
