Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on land at Warcop Tower. The archaeological evidence for the medieval period was characterised by a possible shallow ditch, which ran parallel to the large rectangular earthwork platform and which was thought to be of possible medieval origin. The ditch appeared to have been severely truncated by later post-medieval activities, namely the construction of a farm building directly onto the earthwork, which made it difficult to locate with absolute certainty. Medieval and later medieval pottery was found in the fills of the ditch and two pits also yielded pottery of medieval date. 18th to 20th century features in the form of the foundation of a large farm building, a stone lined field drain and a small pit were also recorded.
