Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Mr Andrew Watson to prepare an assessment report on archaeological investigations carried out by ARCUS at Stonebridge House and Sunnyside, Tickhill, NGR SK 5908 9276. The excavations took place in 2008 and comprised five evaluation trenches and two mitigation areas. Archaeological preservation on site was poor with all of the surviving features heavily truncated. The earliest activity at the Site dated to the 13th/14th centuries and comprised a sequence of layers, two ditches and a pit. Most of these features were too truncated to allow coherent interpretation, but a moderate quantity of pottery and animal bone was recovered. The animal bone assemblage included cattle horn cores indicative of tanning activity at the Site. A second sub-phase of medieval activity comprised nine heavily truncated pits dated to the 14th/15th centuries. The pits are interpreted as eight clay-lined tanning pits and a probable limekiln. Seven of the eight tanning pits lay in a closely spaced line, with a ninth, smaller pit offset at one end. Each pit was lined with clay to form a watertight barrier and would have originally contained a wooden structure, tub or barrel. |
