Abstract: |
Various archaeological features on Chapel Fell, Malham Tarn, were investigated by Dr Arthur Raistrick in the mid 1940s and early 1960s and interpreted by him as a medieval chapel, three late prehistoric (Iron Age) 'huts', two 'earth circles' and a 'bank'. The current project aimed to reassess and build upon his findings by selectively excavating within the putative chapel - both where he had and had not excavated - and the three circular features. The project found that the supposed chapel was definitely not medieval and that detailed internal features he described were absent. Two of his 'huts' were confirmed as roundhouses, though no dating evidence was found, but the third was proven as a sow kiln - an early type of clamp lime kiln. This was radiocarbon dated to the early modern period. The most likely interpretation of the supposed medieval chapel is that it was a nonconformist chapel started but quickly abandoned in the run up to the Civil War in the 1640s. |
