Abstract: |
The clear remains of three possible farmstead complexes had been noted by Dr Arthur Raistrick in an enclosure known as Crummack Dale or, more simply, The Dale, to the north of the village of Austwick on the southern side of Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales. The sites were hypothesised for the current project as early medieval as their footprints and enclosure banks showed strong similarities with those on previously excavated sites at Chapel-le-Dale, and as earlier work by a local researcher had obtained pre-Conquest radiocarbon dating evidence. Excavations within all three of the sites were aimed at increasing knowledge of non-nucleated early medieval settlement within the Ingleborough area. Six of the ten rectangular structures within the three sites were subjected to targeted excavation and overall proved to be totally aceramic but artefact-rich, with a range of metal objects logged from investigated structures. Six radiocarbon dates from secure archaeological contexts, plus a (seventh) earlier result, place the sites within the Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Scandinavian eras: six fall within the period cal AD 700-990, with the other between cal AD 880-1014. A circular pit on the edge of one of the complexes was proven to be a clamp lime kiln of the sow kiln type: this was radiocarbon dated from two stratigraphically-secure charcoal samples to the period cal AD 1026-1225. |
