Abstract: |
Fieldwalking and a fluxgate gradiometer survey were undertaken on land which was to be affected by the proposed expansion of the Barnsdale Bar limestone quarry westwards towards the A1. Several linear anomalies forming a system of enclosures were identified. Other linear anomalies corresponded to recent field boundaries. A curvilinear anomaly probably related to the silting of a dry valley although the possible presence of a mortuary enclosure on the same line could not be discounted. Several pit/kiln type anomalies were also detected. In the south of the site a concentration of flint artefacts possibly indicated the presence of Neolithic occupation on the site. [Au(adp)] |
