Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by GPark Doncaster Ltd to undertake an archaeological strip, map and sample investigation on land at West Moor Park, Doncaster, NGR 463788 404722, hereafter 'the Site'. The Site comprises approximately 2.6 hectares of land situated to the south and north of Holme Wood Lane, at the south-eastern edge of Armthorpe near Doncaster and lies immediately to the south of an area of known Late Iron Age/Roman-British settlement. The Site comprises the footprint of a proposed road corridor with swales and associated water balancing. This excavation has advanced our understanding of the extent and form of the Romano-British field system present at West Moor Park to the north. The field system known from excavations to the north of Holme Wood Lane was shown to continue to the south but did not survive in the western part of the Site. The field system was not shown to continue south past a geological boundary and exhibited a co-axial plan conforming to a standard 'brickwork' pattern, modified by subdivisions. A moderately sized assemblage of Romano-British pottery, predominantly local greywares, indicates that the ditches of the filed system filled in the late 2nd to 3rd centuries AD. A series of circular pits with in situ burning were also probably of similar Romano-British date. |
