This sign generally emerged when there is/was a nearby Saxon building, particularly a church or ancient monument. This example can be found at Kiveton Park between Sheffield and Worksop, an area settled by Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century. Kiveton means 'the settlement in the hollow' - the Saxon term 'kyfe' meaning dish or hollow vessel and 'ton' meaning stockaded camp. When the Roman empire was in decline, the 'new' settlers advanced from being pirates of the North Sea and established themselves along the coasts of Gaul and Britain.
