Introduction
This digital archive contains images from a programme of archaeological trenching investigation and recording on land at Bleachcroft Way, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, centred on SE 37220497. The work was undertaken by York Archaeology and was commissioned by Lanpro Services Ltd on behalf of their client Harron Homes Yorkshire.
This programme of archaeological works was conducted in line with planning permissions prior to groundworks associated with the construction of approximately 250 residential dwellings and associated works (Planning Reference: 2017/0753 and 2021/0668). The archaeological investigation comprised the excavation of twelve trenches, all measuring 50 x 1.80m, across the area of development . The trial trench evaluation has met the overall aim of the project, establishing the presence of a series of linear features, mostly associated with agriculture from the medieval to modern periods, with two ditches in Trench 5 perhaps associated with the railway line which formerly crossed the Site. The ditches in Trenches 9 and 10 are undated but appear to represent part of a drainage system, with ditch [0914]=[1003] running towards the Dob Sike, which borders the southern part of the Site.
