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.[1] Levitt Hagg was also the site, along with nearby environs in the Don Gorge, of ancient woodlands rich in yew trees.[2] The old settlement of Levitt Hagg was removed in the 1950s.
