  • Excavations at Fin Cop, Derbyshire

    Clive Waddington, Pauline Beswick et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Journal2012

    A programme of archaeological investigation took place on Fin Cop hillfort, in the Derbyshire Peak District, during the summers of 2009 and 2010. In total fifty test-pits and eight trenches were excavated, revealing evidence for a Mesolithic quarry site, and sporadic evidence for Neolithic and Beaker period activity. An assemblage of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age ceramics was recovered from the interior of the fort in association with rock-cut p…

  • Excavations at the Viking Barrow Cemetery at Heath Wood, Ingleby, Derbyshire

    Open AccessJulian D Richards, Julian Richards et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal2004

    The cemetery at Heath Wood, Ingleby, Derbyshire, is the only known Scandinavian cremation cemetery in the British Isles. It comprises fifty-nine barrows, of which about one-third have been excavated on previous occasions, although earlier excavators concluded that some were empty cenotaph mounds. From 1998 to 2000 three barrows were examined. Our investigations have suggested that each of the barrows contained a burial, although not all contain e…

  • The Blast Furnace at Rockley, South Yorkshire

    David Crossley, David Barker et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Journal1995Cited by: 3

    At Rockley, Yorkshire (SE338021) there survives the stone stack of a blast furnace which archive sources suggest was built in about 1700 and was used with charcoal until at least 1741. Antiquarian suggestions of a later period of operation using coke have received archaeological support in excavations carried out between 1978 and 1982. These established the layout of the blowing and casting houses, as well as the position of a head race, and of a…

  • Excavation of a Bronze Age Unenclosed Cemetery, Cairns, and Field Boundaries at Eaglestone Flat, Curbar, Derbyshire, 1984, 1989–1990

    Open AccessJohn Barnatt, Pauline Beswick et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1994

    Excavations at Eaglestone Flat, on the gritstone eastern uplands of the Peak District, have revealed a Bronze Age cremation cemetery associated with a number of contemporaneous stone structures built for ritual and agricultural purposes. Some of the burials were within urns, mostly cordoned. Others were simply placed in pits whilst still hot. A minority were deposited in direct association with small cairns, either placed under or within them. Th…

  • A Decorated Late Iron Age Torc from Dinnington, South Yorkshire

    Open AccessPauline Beswick, M Ruth Megaw et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal1990Cited by: 3References: 11

    In August 1984 Mr James Rickett, using a metal detector adjacent to a public footpath in a wood near Dinnington, South Yorkshire, found a bronze torc. Recognizing it as an important find he promptly took it into Sheffield City Museum, Weston Park. Subsequently the landowners, Mr and Mrs J. H. Morrell, generously donated the torc to the Museum (Accession no. SHEFM:1984.515). Later a careful survey was made of the wood by staff of Sheffield City Mu…
