Scholes Coppice

Scholes Coppice is an area of ancient woodland northwest of Kimberworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England [1]. It was once part of the Kimberworth Deer Park and contains several archaeological sites, the most significant being a probable Iron Age hill fort known as Caesar's Camp or Castle Holmes [1]. This Scheduled Ancient Monument was partially excavated in the 1990s [1]. The fortification features an outer bank 2–5 metres high and 15 metres wide, which may have been topped by a wooden palisade, paralleled by a 15-metre-wide ditch [1]. Notably, there is no obvious entrance to the site [1].
