Thank you Ann, i have been digging around and it looks like this is not my burial because, the man you found was dead before 1881 as his widow had remarried by then.

i will rule this one out and continue my search

In 1871 he was in Mold Green in Huddersfield, by 1881 his widow was back in Sovereign Shepley where they had been in 1861
I have been looking for his death for ages and this is the only one I can find which vaguely fits

I have just googled Dry Hill Denby and dry Hill lane still exists

Thank you, I thought it looked like that but I wasn't sure; I have been reading about it on google. He came from the Huddesfield area so it seems strange he was near Sheffield, but the burial is back in his home area

Certainly looks like Dry Hill but could it be Denby Hill (strangely shortened)?
Where was he on the 1871 census?
