Levitt Hagg
Levitt Hagg (sometimes spelled Levit Hagg or Levett Hagg ) is an abandoned hamlet in South Yorkshire, located approximately two miles southwest of Doncaster and near Conisbrough Castle. Limestone began to be quarried at the site in ancient times.〔(The Geologist, Samuel Joseph Mackie, Lovell Reeve & Co., London, 1863 )〕 Levitt Hagg was also the site, along with nearby environs in the Don Gorge, of ancient woodlands rich in yew trees. The old settlement of Levitt Hagg was removed in the 1950s.
==Toponomy==
The settlement took its name from Hagg, an archaic word which meant 'broken ground in a bog,'〔(Patronymica Britannica, Mark Antony Lower, John Russell Smith, Lewes, 1860 )〕〔Some ascribe the word Hagg to an Anglo-Saxon word meaning an 'enclosure made by a hedge.'
Others say that it derives from the Old Norse word for small farmsteads, 'haga,' which in turn derives from the Old Norse 'hagi' meaning enclosure.〕 and from the Levett family, an Anglo-Norman family prominent in Yorkshire for centuries.
