[1] On Fulwood Lane a polished Neolithic stone axehead was found in 1952 indicating ancient human activity in the area.

[2] An interim report by University of Sheffield staff on excavations of a linear feature in the Sheephill Road, Ringinglow area has suggested evidence of the route of the lost Roman Road linking Templeborough with the Roman Signal Station at Navio and Batham Gate.

[6] Sheffield historian S. O. Addy, writing in 1888, noted that the Old English word hlâw is almost always used to refer to a burial mound, and speculated that this 'great heap of stones' may have been an ancient barrow.

[7] Addy additionally noted that there existed a 'folk etymology' for the name Ringinglow[8]—a story also recounted by local historian J. Edward Vickers[9]—that the village got its name after a man lost on the moors in bad weather was saved when he heard the bells of Sheffield parish church 'ringing low' over the moors.

Historical evidence of shallow coal drift-mining of the Ringinglow seam has been found in the nearby Barber Fields, adjacent to Sheephill Road.
