High Bradfield is a rural village 6.5 miles (10 km) north-west of the centre of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England and within the city's boundaries.

[5] On the north-west edge of the village, close to the church, is Bailey Hill, an approximately 10.5-metre (34 ft) high man-made conical mound that is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The date and purpose of its construction are unknown, though it has been interpreted as a Saxon fort,[5] a Norman motte-and-bailey castle,[6] or a place of public village assembly.

The eastern and southern flanks of the bailey are enclosed by a 95 metre long curving earthwork while to the west it is protected by steep slopes.

[11] The Enclosure Act of the early 19th century altered the appearance of the countryside around High Bradfield as the profusion of stones in the soil resulted in many small fields in the area.

Around the same time many people in the Bradfield area were influenced by the Industrial Revolution and moved to nearby Sheffield to improve their standard of living.

[11] On Jane Street is the Grade II listed building known as the Old Post Office, built from gritstone with a slate roof in 1835.
