There's Roman remains at Templeborough, which is just on the Rotherham side of the M1. A lot of what was found was re-erected in Clifton Park in Rotherham as the Templeborough site was built over with a large steel works.

Better learn how to spell settlement if it's for a project. It's just one word, not two.

In this article on "danish" or Viking" England, there's a map. Sheffield appears to be well in the Danelaw (unless it's in the bit marked "swamp")

So there should be "Viking" relics around.

 

A post in the "Sheffield discussions" area in 2012 mentions a "Viking" coin in Weston Bank Museum

Jfish, if it's a london-made map, they will have marked Sheffield, and any northern environs in the sector labelled "Here be ye dragons!"

If you've got a bit of spare time on your hands give Heritage Gateway a try. You can search within a defined area for remains of any time period and type (building, graves, roads etc.) that you want that are registered either with English Heritage or Local Government Sites and Monuments Records. It'll probably turn up a lot more than you'd expect but you can find some really interesting little things in there with some patience.
