| Abstract: |
Substantial parts of an Iron Age settlement were excavated on a site on the Methley Terraces. A number of sub-circular structures of both post hole and continuous gully type together with 30 pits were examined. These features were associated with a complex series of small enclosures for which four clear phases of development could be elucidated. Finds evidence, together with an archaeomagnetic date suggested that the settlement did not continue in use into the Romano-British period. Air photographic and geophysical survey in the Methley area indicated that it was likely to have been just one of a series of settlement sites in what was clearly a densley packed Iron Age and Romano-British landscape. A number of medieval and post-medieval features proved to relate to agriculture and rural settlement. [Au] |
