Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising trial trenching was undertaken at a site adjacent to St James parish church in the centre of Wetherby prior to its redevelopment as a residential care home. The site is thought to have been quarried for sands and gravels in the late 1920s during the course of which significant Roman remains comprising ditches, pits and burials were encountered. However, the extent of the extraction was not fully documented. The evaluation has conclusively demonstrated that the gravel extraction extended across the whole of the northern part of the site with made ground deposits identified in all seven trenches in this area. The quarrying did not appear to have extended into the southern part of the site where the buried remains of a wall were identified, parallel and immediately south of, the existing boundary wall. Although no archaeological features or deposits were identified here the potential remains for the survival of archaeological features in this (southern) part of the site. |
