Abstract: |
This project relates to a complex multi-period landscape in the pastures around the modern house of Daggerstones and the ruins of Bank House above the village of Healaugh in Swaledale. The landscape visually ranges from Bronze Age mounds through house platforms and lynchetted coaxial field boundaries of Prehistoric/Romano-British character, rectangular building platforms and extant 17th century ruins to the sloped array of solar panels behind the modern house at Daggerstones. The survey evidence supports the concept of Prehistoric and Romano-British activity on the site with unenclosed settlement within an organised framework of coaxial field systems. It indicates that the site lies on and respects a major but undated route-way along the northern daleside. The evidence on the site also suggests both agricultural and mining activity in the Medieval, Early Modern and Modern periods. |
