Abstract: |
The development site lay close to the remains of Kirkstead Abbey, founded in the 12th century. A geophysical survey and watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a drainage pipe trench and geotechnical test pits. The geophysical survey did not clearly identify any archaeological remains, but was hampered by natural conditions on the site. However, some features were recorded and their positions corresponded with the locations of buried ditches identified on aerial photographs. During the excavations an ancient stream course was identified and several ditches recorded. These were mostly located immediately south of the abbey. A dump of demolition material of probable 14th-17th century date was also recorded. This suggested the presence of buildings nearby. Medieval, 14th-15th century, pottery was also retrieved. [AIP] |
