Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham during habitat creation works, and was requested by the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service (SYAS). The work required monitoring the excavation of one trench and four scoops, associated with habitat improvement at the site. Patches of industrial waste such as clinker and slag were observed throughout the topsoil across the site, possibly previous attempts at drying out the wet landscape. Ceramic and glass items within these deposits suggest a date of the late 19th/early 20th century. These deposits may be associated with a nearby forge and pottery works, both of which would have produced large quantities of such clinker and slag as waste by-products. |
