Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A phased programme of archaeological investigations was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited in advance of development of land to the rear of 26 Market Place, Bedale, North Yorkshire. The archaeological project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of McCarthy and Stone (Developments) Limited, and monitored by the Heritage Unit of North Yorkshire County Council, on behalf of the Local Planning Authority, Hambleton District Council. A preliminary archaeological evaluation, undertaken in spring 2002, revealed the presence of a prehistoric wetland area. This comprised substantial organic silt sediments representing deposition within a body of water, such as a lake or palaeochannel, overlain by an extensive peat formation. Radiocarbon dating of the peat placed accumulation of the material in the Mesolithic period. Archaeological remains of medieval and post-medieval date were also recorded in the evaluation trenches. A more extensive open area excavation was undertaken, in the autumn of 2003, in order to investigate further the ancient wetland and overlying medieval deposits. The excavation focused on the footprint of the main building in the development and comprised an irregular, but roughly rectangular, trench with maximum dimensions 65m NE-SW x 22m NW-SE, covering c. 1,100 square metres. A paper describing the medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains (Proctor et al. 2008) also contains full details of the site location and description, historical background and archaeological methodologies employed, but relevant information is summarised here. Full details of the earlier assessment and subsequent works are presented in Carrott et al. (2004) and Gearey et al. (2006), respectively.\r\n | |||||||||
