Just seen a report online from the Sheffield Star - sorry can't do link - that once again developers are trying to build on part of this below Wincobank hillfort. The area under threat is off Sandstone Road, where 22 houses are planned. The Ridge is now believed to be a tribal boundary built by the Brigantes and runs for 27km from Lady's Bridge to Mexborough, with gaps due to farming and housing predation. As Moss has observed elsewhere this should be classified as nationally important. NB Due to length it hasn't had a TMA site ref so I'm going to add one on a stretch which is undisturbed. Will try to add some pix asap.

Thanks for posting Mike. Let us know if there are campaigns we can support etc.

Hi sc, you can find the article by searching for Sheffield Star Roman Ridge. Protestors are the same folk from last time it was tried in '12. Search on TMA for Wincobank. Really must walk some of this...a sleeping giant on the doorstep, like a miniature Offa's Dyke.

Spencer if you fancy a day out looking at this let me know. On my doorstep but something Ive never explored.
