Around 130 trenches have been excavated as part of preparations for building a new solar farm in Dinnington.
After being granted planning permission for the Common Farm Solar Energy Park last summer, to the west of the Todwick Road Industrial Estate in Dinnington, developer OnPath Energy has now completed an archaeological excavation on the 116-hectare site. OnPath Energy says any items of archaeological interest will be catalogued and referenced in the final report that will be submitted to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
Jill Askew, senior project manager at OnPath Energy, says: “Making a detailed recording of the archaeological and geological history and constitution of all our proposed development sites is an important part of the planning process. “The independent team of experts we appointed have conducted a thorough assessment of how this land is composed, and we’re looking forward to seeing what their investigations reveal.
