Abstract: |
A desktop assessment was undertaken prior to residential development. No topographical features were visible in the immediate area, but to the north there was a large number of earthworks associated with the larger medieval village of Maulds Meaburn. The site lay within the Hazard Area of Maulds Meaburn Village as defined by the SMR. The identified archaeological remains comprised typical examples of medieval through to post-medieval agricultural and settlement features. Four trenches were excavated. Trench 1 contained numerous layers and features. In trench 2, four features were identified but in trench 3 only one was identified. The evaluation illustrated that the level of truncation from modern features was relatively low and although earlier features were observed, no certain dates could be established. The work also confirmed that the land to the west had been raised up and levelled which had, effectively, sealed earlier layers and/or features. [Au(abr)] |
