Abstract
Some recent research at two Yorkshire long barrows; Denby House, Rudston and Esh's Barrow, Helperthorp...
Alex M Gibson
5 - 21
A topographical and geophysical survey was undertaken at the Neolithic long barrows of Esh's Barrow and Denby House as part of an assessment of the Neolithic barrows of the upper Gypsey Race (Great Wold) Valley, North Yorkshire. Denby House proved to still survive as an earthwork and geophysical survey revealed the lay-out of the barrow features. The survey of Esh's Barrow also located a short long barrow but it was less easy to match the revealed features to the antiquarian descriptions.
J.M.N. Colls and the Baildon Moor prehistoric field complex
Keith J S Boughey
22 - 58
In 1846 J.M.N. Colls described an ancient co-axial field system on Baildon Moor in West Yorkshire in a paper in the journal Archaeologia, believed to be the first account of its kind in UK archaeological literature. Even then, the remains were sparse and it has long been believed by most later commentators that all field evidence for the system had long since disappeared. However, encouraged by a survey of Baildon Moor commissioned by English Heritage in 1994, in connection with an entirely different objective (a survey of cup-and-ring-marked rocks), the author has re-examined the moor, and armed with both Colls' 1846 map and the 1994 survey, found that traces of the system reported over a century and a half ago by Colls still survive on the ground. The paper describes Colls' original account along with later Victorian re-workings of his material and compares in detail the system recorded by Colls with both the results of the 1994 survey and of extensive fieldwork carried out by the author in 2007. It attempts to set the Baildon Moor field system into its wider archaeological context and concludes that Colls' account stands out, not only as the first, but as a remarkably good one for its time.
Bronze Age cremations, Iron Age and Roman settlement and early medieval inhumations at the Langeled receiving facilities, Easington, East Riding of Yorkshire
Jane Richardson
59 - 100
Excavations to the north of the village of Easington in the East Riding of Yorkshire identified a funerary landscape of Late Bronze Age, Late Iron Age and Roman cremations, as well as Roman and early medieval inhumations. The four early medieval burials included a spearhead, knives, buckles and beads. Occupation activity associated with the Bronze Age and early medieval burials was not identified but a 'ladder-style' settlement of trackways and enclosures was established by the first century BC. This settlement underwent at least two episodes of restructuring before its abandonment, probably in the third century AD. Given a dearth of imported objects and the preservation of pre-Conquest-style building traditions, the inhabitants of the final settlement chose not to adopt the trappings of a 'Romanised' lifestyle.
Results of an archaeological test pit excavation in the refectory building at Rievaulx Abbey
Jane Wheeler
Gerry McDonnell
101 - 111
This paper presents the results of an investigation test pit at Rievaulx Abbey that was undertaken as part of a multidisciplinary research project at the University of Bradford to explore the archaeological evidence for historic iron production at Rievaulx village. The purpose was to investigate Rievaulx's hidden industrial past, and to determine whether there was evidence to prove that the former monastic refectory had been used as a charcoal and/or iron ore store, the results of which were inconclusive.
The Augustinians and the Romanesque font from Everingham, East Riding
Rita Wood
112 - 147
The font is one of the more elaborate examples in a group of over fifty cylindrical fonts in the East Riding which date from the first half of the twelfth century. Its apparently unorganised imagery is found to embody a teaching scheme reminiscent of methods described in St Augustine of Hippo's manual for instructing baptism candidates, and the design seems to be based on a text of Hugh of St Victor, from his moral interpretation of Noah's Ark. It is suggested that an Augustinian canon designed the scheme even though Everingham church did not belong to the order. This inference leads to a discussion of the pastoral work of the Augustinian canons in the East Riding in the early twelfth century. Motifs on a font at Bessingby (East Riding), on tympana at Ribbesford (Worcestershire) and Stoke-sub-Hamdon (Somerset), and at various other sites provide comparisons. The Everingham font is now thought to be in the United States.
