| Abstract: |
The report assessed the results of three evaluation excavations undertaken on the route of the Teesside to Saltend Ethylene Pipeline. TSEP site 277 - Hayton Common. A single 75m long trench was positioned to intercept linear features visible on aerial photographs. These were found to contain ceramic land drains or fragments of such, and were of relatively recent date. TSEP site 902 - Towthorpe Beck, Londesborough. Four trenches were targeted on a number of linear geophysical anomalies in a field where a small quantity of Romano-British pottery and building material had been collected during fieldwalking. In the event, nothing of archaeological significance was recorded, other than a modern field ditch and several chalk-rubble land drains. TSEP site 904 - Goodmanham Wold. Four trenches were excavated. A number of Bronze Age worked flints had been collected here during fieldwalking and subsequent geophysical survey detected a small number of linear anomalies of suspected archaeological origin. A number of the features were most likely to have been of geological origin. Trenches 2, 3 and 4 contained a small number of more regular features - linear gullies, slots and small pits - for which an archaeological origin was more likely. Some features contained good amounts of struck flint flakes, suggesting flint-working on the site. Three flint scrapers of Bronze Age date were found during the excavations, and three others during the earlier fieldwalking. The evidence suggested settlement of Bronze Age date in the vicinity of the evaluation area. An unstratified sherd of Romano-British pottery, as well as two recovered during the fieldwalking, implied that settlement of that date lay nearby. [Au(abr)] |
