Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Arup to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land to the north of Barnsley Road, Scawsby, South Yorkshire. The work was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a new motorway service area. A total of 44 trenches were excavated across approximately 16 ha of land. Several trenches targeted anomalies thought likely to represent ditched field boundaries detected by an earlier geophysical survey. Around 80% of the trenches were archaeologically blank, with remains only encountered in those trenches located over geophysical anomalies. The combined results reveal that a relict field system, defined by ditches, is present in the western part of the site. The chronology of the field system is uncertain, but based on form in plan, scant artefactual evidence, and the site's regional context, a Late Iron Age to Romano-British date is likely. Palaeoenvironmental remains were sparse, but do provide some slight indication of arable agriculture associated with the ancient fields. The archaeological remains were confined to those parts of the site underlain by freely draining limestone bedrock. Beyond this, lay wetter, more clayish, ground where boundary definition was seemingly much less intensive in the past. The evaluation may therefore have located the edge of an ancient farmed estate or parcel of fields.
