Treeton

Treeton is a village and civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England.

[3] There was a Roman fort at Templeborough, about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) north west of Treeton, and remnants of the Roman road called Icknield Street (sometimes Ryknild or Riknild Street) have been found in nearby Brinsworth.

[7] The earliest known written record of Treeton is the Domesday Book of 1086, in which it is referred to as Trectone or Tretone.

[12] This ward is part of the Rother Valley parliamentary constituency, and was represented in the House of Commons by MP Kevin Barron of the Labour Party who held the seat between 1983 and 2019.

Treeton is situated on the east side of the River Rother, about 4 miles (6 km) south from the town of Rotherham and 5 miles (8 km) east from Sheffield City Centre.

[16] At the time of the United Kingdom 2011 Census the population of Treeton civil parish was 3189 people.

Catcliffe Flash, to the west of the village, is a local nature reserve that is made up of a lake and marshland formed as the elevation of the land beside the River Rother dropped due to coal mining subsidence.
