Abstract: |
Flints of unknown type and date were found within and close to the site in the later 20th century. It is unclear if these relate to prehistoric activity within the site or had been brought to the site through river action. The site was a field called Little Hermit Royd in the 18th century, part of the More Hall estate. Hermit Royd, a homestead located immediately south of the proposed development area, was recorded in the late 13th century, and a building on this site was demolished in the mid-20th century. The site appears to have been a field until recently, when four fishponds were created. The creation of the fishponds is likely to have impacted on sub-surface archaeological deposits, but it is possible that archaeology associated with the prehistoric flint scatters, and possibly palaeochannels, may survive at depth, or in areas outside the ponds. |
