Abstract: |
Sixty-eight evaluation trenches and three areas of open excavation were undertaken along the route of the proposed Cudworth and West Green Bypass in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The majority of trenches contained either no archaeology or evidence of post-medieval field boundaries and furrows. At the northern end of the corridor a number of Romano-British enclosure ditches and pits were present, a single feature producing the majority of pottery recovered with a date range from the early 2nd century to the early or mid-3rd century AD. A single Roman coin Septimius Severus struck in AD 200-20 was also found. Survival of carbonised organics and animal bone was poor. The results from the Cudworth and West Green Bypass excavations are important in evaluating the wider Romano-British landscape and should be viewed against settlement evidence from archaeological interventions at nearby High Street, Shafton and the Shafton Bypass Coalfields Link Road. |
