The man was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries are continuing at this time to determine how he came to be there. The cordon will remain in place for much of the day and people are asked to please avoid the area while officers continue their work.
In relation to another incident, officers also have a section of Badsley Moor Lane in Rotherham cordoned off near the junction with Victoria Avenue after reports of disorder between two groups taking place.
Again, enquiries are continuing and the cordon will remain in place as they do so. Police have also ask people to avoid this area too while this work continues.
