Full Description
<1> Surface finds of 1st and 2nd Century A.D. Roman pottery and 'native' ware [Further information].
<2> A survey of Canklow Woods in 1988 revealed evidence for the remains of field boundaries and cultivation terraces on the west facing slope within the area of the scheduled settlements on top of the ridge. The existence of cultivation terraces suggests that some of this area was given over to crop production. The physical remains are in the form of dry stone walls, now collapsed and buried under leaf mould and grass. The existence of timber structures within this area should not be discounted as the excavations of similar sites in other parts of the country have demonstrated. These timber structures might consist of temporary barns and other ancillary farm buildings and although the timber itself will not have survived, the post holes from these structures will still remain [Further information].
<3> Also see the 1992 edition of Archaeology in South Yorkshire.
<4/5> Surface finds of 1st and 2nd century A.D Roman pottery and "native" ware. Excavated by J C Tyson 1949.
<6> A further survey in 1992 recorded earthworks, primarily within the scheduled area.
<7> A survey in 2002 showed that the Iron Age/Roman activity exists beyond the scheduled area. This consists of linear banks interpreted as the remains of a field system. There are also a number of undated cairns that may represent clearance of stones from agricultural land.
Post-Medieval remains identified by the survey include bell pits, a spoil heap and quarry.
<8> A detail survey was undertaken on the Iron Age remains in 2004.
