Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of land to the east of St Chad's Church, Kirkby was undertaken. Two sites of archaeological potential were identified, the reason for this being the presence of finds from the prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods in the vicinity. The presence of possible Mesolithic activity was also noted. The presence of the chapel of St Chad implied an early settlement which by the 10th century became a village with the Norse name Kirkby ('Church-village'). The evaluation identified an area of limited archaeological deposits consisting of linear cut features and post holes of unknown date. No significant archaeological deposits were encountered elsewhere on the site. [Au(adp)] |
