Abstract: |
The report presented the results of archaeological survey and excavation. A previous geophysical survey had been conducted in order to identify the course of a Roman road, thought to run across the site. Two trenches were then excavated to identify any deposits associated with the road and to evaluate the nature of several additional anomalies identified by the survey. The existence of the road within the development site could not be confirmed and its course may have been removed by levelling of the site for a sports ground. A shallow pit containing burnt clay and carbonised hazelnut fragments was of Mesolithic date and represented a significant addition to the corpus of early prehistoric activity in the area. Similarly, several sherds of Grooved Ware pottery of later Neolithic date recovered from a small pit represented an important extension to the limited distribution of this material in West Yorkshire.
