10.67 SAM23201 Deserted Medieval Village, Hellaby. This monument lies
approximately 4.7km northeast of the closest turbine. It consists of the
former medieval village site in land adjacent to Hellaby Hall, north-east of
Junction 2 on the M18. The monument is partially covered with low
vegetation and has no substantial above ground presence. Its setting is
defined by the neighbouring hotel and associated access and car parks to
its east, and to the large structures of an industrial estate to its west, with
the A631 to its south. This setting is not considered to be affected by the
presence of the turbines to the southwest (an effect of “negligible”
magnitude), and the potential effect is assessed as being “not
significant”.
10.68 SAM29948 Slade Hooton Medieval Settlement and moated site (two
separate areas). This monument consists of the remains of a former
medieval settlement, with a moated site. The Scheduled area consists of
two distinct areas under the same identification number, separated by a
minor road. The monument is approximately 4.7km to the east of the
nearest turbine. It‟s has no substantial above ground presence, and its
setting is defined by its association with the buildings of the modern
settlement of Slade Hooton. The monument‟s setting is not considered to
be affected by the presence of the turbines even where these could be
seen above the intervening structures in Thurcroft and the M1/M18
interchange. The presence of the proposed development is considered to
be an effect of “negligible” magnitude, which is assessed as “not
significant”.
10.69 SAMSY382 Canklow Hill Earthworks. This monument lies approximately
4.5km (at its southern end) northwest of the nearest turbine. It consists of
the remains of earthworks extending approximately 770m north-south on
the top of Canklow Hill, on the outskirts of Rotherham. The monument
preserves the low earthwork remains of enclosures, tracks and field
boundaries forming an extended prehistoric settlement. The monument is
heavily wooded, and bordered to its immediate east by the rear gardens of
residential properties. The presence of the proposed development to the
southeast is not considered to affect the setting of the monument, which is
here defined as the interrelationship of its constituent parts and their
location on the hill, now covered by woodland, on the edge of a major
urban area. The potential effect on the monument‟s setting is therefore
assessed as “not significant”.
10.70 SAMSY602 The Glassworks Cone. This monument is the remains of a
brick glass kiln dating to the middle of the eighteenth century, and is
located approximately 4.7km west of the closest turbine, in Catcliffe. It is
also listed at Grade I (Listed Building Number 335632). It survives
substantially intact to a height of approximately 23m, and remained in use
into the early part of the twentieth century. It is located on its own
landscaped plot within an area of residential housing approximately 100m
from Catcliffe station, and from the River Rother and 200m south of the
elevated A630. Its setting is defined and limited by the surrounding
housing, and the railway to its south and railway to its north. The presence
