Abstract: |
Archaeological observations and investigations were undertaken during extension works on the site. The earliest features identified were a Roman ditch, a gully and a pit, dateable to the late first or early 2nd century AD. The gully and ditch appeared to run parallel to the line of the Roman road between York (Eboracum) and Tadcaster (Clacaria), and may have indicated initial division and settlement of land to the west of it. A cobbled path and associated ditch of early 3rd century date was also revealed running across the site. Also located was a mid/late 3rd century inhumation burial containing an almost complete black burnished ware jar and a copper alloy ring. The burial was thought to have been of a young adult male. Statigraphically later than the burial was a dump of metal working slag, possibly indicating the manufacture of metal objects close by. A large post-medieval pit containing the semi-articulated remains of a cow was also identified. [AIIP] |
