A burnt area containing iron slag, charcoal, and R/B pottery was found at SK 583848 below plough level, in the field behind a bungalow being built off Long Lane in May 1962.
Surface finds on the plot and adjoining field included R/B pottery, an undateable blue glass setting, and a semi-circular piece of bronze c 2" diam. A 2nd-4th cent date is suggested.
Flint flakes were also found in the area. AL the finds are in Sheffield Museum, and further investigations are intended. (Nothing visible on the available AP's (OS 1968)). (2)

Miss Pauline Beswick (Keeper Sheffield City Museum) cannot trace the above finds in the Museum, nor can she locate any writings relating to the site. The Museum 6" record sheets are also blank and Mr B Beeby (Editor E M Arch Bull) cannot recall the source of the original information. The indicated site falls on torn up pasture surrounded by building operations; no archaeological material was found at the time of investigation. (3)
