Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed landfill facility. The site was a green field, with no previous archaeological information available, but was in the vicinity of significant archaeological remains of Roman and medieval date centred on the village of Kirkby Thore. The evaluation involved the excavation of 16 machine cut trenches to sample the study area in a methodological manner. Two small sub-circular features were identified along with ploughing evidence although no dating material was revealed to place these in a chronological timeframe. Overall the archaeological resource was insufficient to justify recommending any further archaeological work. [Au] |
