Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) in advance of the construction of a driveway and double garage associated with a proposed residential development on land at West Leigh, Market Street, Hambleton, Lancashire (SD 365 425: Planning Application 05/00049/FUL). The work was carried out over three days in April 2006 on behalf of Mr P Thompson and in full accordance with the Lancashire County Archaeology Service-approved project design compiled by OA North The results of the evaluation demonstrate the presence of medieval occupation in close proximity to the site, evidenced by five sherds of pottery dated to the thirteenth-fourteenth centuries. This is the first confirmed archaeological indication of medieval activity in the village of Hambleton and suggests that vigilance during further developments should be considered. It is unlikely that the development will have a significant impact upon the archaeological resource; within the area of Trench 1, all significant remains lay below the maximum depth of impact from the driveway, whilst within the area of Trench 2, any archaeological remains are again likely to lie beneath the depth of impact, but are also likely to be affected by root action from nearby trees. |
