Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Consulting Services to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the topsoil strip of the land off Bawtry Road. The monitored works covered 2.1 ha, centred on NGR 461850 430471 (SE 6185 3047), at Bawtry Road, Selby, North Yorkshire, YO8 8RU. The watching brief was undertaken in response to a condition (Condition 27) attached to the planning permission granted by Selby District Council (Ref. no. 2015/1217/FUL) for the erection of a food retail store and associated infrastructure. The natural bedrock geology was reached in parts of all trenches across the site. No archaeological remains of significance were identified within the trenches.A probable furrow was exposed, suggesting a predominantly agricultural use of the land in the past, which is corroborated by 19th and 20th-century mapping. Its north-east to south-west orientation is parallel to field boundaries marked to the east and west on the earlier mapping - and still followed to the west by the modern A1041. The furrow's narrow width (0.6 m) suggests the potential archaeological horizon on the site has been truncated by modern ploughing. The archaeological watching brief was successful in so far as it established the absence of significant remains in the monitored area. |
