Abstract The prehistory of southern Yorkshire and the north east midlands is poorly understood in scholarship. Its Neolithic and Bronze Age in particularly rarely figure in wider discourses in Britain. This is partly due to its apparent dearth of monumental sites. This paper describes the re-discovery of a large circular enclosure first mapped in the 1970s and subsequently forgotten. Overlooking the city of Sheffield, it proves that the region was an integral part of that wider prehistoric world and not marginal to it. The enclosure, a possible ‘henge’, is not alone. South Yorkshire, with its diverse environments and prehistoric archaeology, should no longer be marginalised.

Whirlow Hall Farm：谢菲尔德被遗忘的恒河？

摘要 学术界对约克郡南部和东北中部地区的史前史知之甚少。它的新石器时代和青铜器时代在英国更广泛的话语中尤其罕见。这部分是由于其明显缺乏纪念性遗址。本文描述了重新发现的大型圆形围栏，该围栏最早于 1970 年代绘制，随后被遗忘。俯瞰谢菲尔德市，它证明该地区是更广阔的史前世界不可分割的一部分，而不是边缘。围栏，一个可能的“亨格”，并不孤单。拥有多样化环境和史前考古学的南约克郡不应再被边缘化。
