Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken during geotechnical works in advance of the proposed construction of a fish pass at Sprotbrough Weir has identified demolition layers and features of archaeological potential in all of the test excavations. A mill is thought to have stood on the site since at least 1705 and it is considered likely that in situ walls identified during the geotechnical investigations locate foundations of the most recent mill which was used to grind flint for use in the pottery industry and which was eventually demolished in the 1930s. The proposed development will directly impact on the remains. |
