Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
SK 257792. Sheffield Plantation, east of settlement, clearance cairns, walling fragments, patches of nettles, and, SK 25717916, Cairn 6m diameter. (1)
16 or 17 small cairns, 2.0-8.0m x 4.0m in diameter, linear clearance and fragmentary walls are associated with the medieval settlement. Without excavation these are undatable, but their spread beyond the assart, the truncation of 3 cairns by the bank and ditch, and the unrelated orientations of the fragmentary walls, suggest an earlier, possibly prehistoric, date.
