Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Harron Homes to undertake an archaeological geophysical (gradiometer) survey to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains to the east of Nether Moor Drive, Wickersley in the Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The proposed development site consists of two separate areas situated to the north and south of Second Lane, totalling an area of 6.2ha. The larger southern area covers 3.9ha and is under arable cultivation, with the area to the north covering 2.3ha of permanent pasture. The geophysical survey results of both survey areas have identified possible archaeological remains, which most likely differ in age. The northern area is likely to contain remains of medieval to modern date; consisting of anomalies indicative of ridge and furrow ploughing which are also visible as upstanding earth works. Tracks that were identified, which are also visible as earthworks, are more likely to be modern in age. The southern area by contrast would appear to contain a rectilinear enclosure approximately 90m wide by 100m in length, along with two further smaller circular enclosures that may be related, but could predate / postdate the enclosure. The shape and size of this enclosure would likely suggest a prehistoric origin. A number of pit like anomalies were also detected, along with other tentative circular and linear trends located within the enclosures that could be relate to archaeological activity within the features themselves. The northern area contains a number of ploughing tends however surprisingly these do not show as clearly in the data set as it would have been expected and are far more visible as upstanding earthworks in the field. The southern area by contrast contains very prominent north-south modern ploughing trends along with older ridge and furrow.
