Monument Number 312589

Hob Uid: 312589
Location :
Barnsley
Wortley
Grid Ref : SK2900098000
Summary : A series of enclosures and associated field systems, excavated in the 1950's when Roman pottery was found, believed to be a possible Romano-British settlement site, earthworks in a good state of preservation
More information : SK 299 984 A number of stone enclosures of
agricultural type, to the W. of Gosling Moor. Excavation has
revealed pottery of 2nd cent. A.D., but nothing else. Not
visible on A.Ps F.22, R.A.F. 1094/0115-6 dated 21.4.53. (1-2)

A group of three irregular-shaped, rubble enclosures, now
partially turf-covered, at SE 2988 9847, SE 2993 9871 and SE
2997 9885 respectively. (Published survey 25" revised). No
associated field system can be identified, and there is no
evidence that they originally formed the nucleus of a settlement.
They are, however, similar to a type of pastoral enclosure,
found in Wharfedale, that is generally considered to be of IA/RB
origin.
See GP AO/53/34/7. (3)
