Synopsis

The Iron Age marsh-fort of Sutton Common, near Doncaster, is the focus for one of the leading integrated conversation, community and farming schemes in the country, and has been identified as a national example of best practice. The project, which has included land acquisitions, wildlife and landscape enhancement, archaeological evaluations, research and conservation, and engineering works to raise ground-water levels, has been spearheaded by the Carstairs Countryside Trust in partnership with English Nature, English Heritage, the Countryside Agency, the Universities of Exeter and Hull, and the local community. The project forms one of the Countryside Agency' trial schemes in the Humberside Levels 'Value in Wetness' land management initiative and has been identified by English Heritage as 'a beacon project' in wetland archaeology. Participation with the North Doncaster Rural Trust over future public access and enjoyment of the site seeks to contribute to the environmental and economic regeneration of this area, which is part of the former South Yorkshire coalfield.
