Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Weavers Properties Ltd, to undertake a watching brief at the rear of Weavers Cottage, Kirkgate, Settle, North Yorkshire (SD 81800 63598) in advance of a proposed redevelopment of the site. The development entails the demolition of an existing garage and the construction of a commercial building. The programme of investigation was carried out over two days during November 2007. Following demolition of the existing buildings, an archaeological watching brief was conducted on the excavation of the foundation trenches for the new construction, in the hope of identifying any previous unrecorded activity on the site. The stratigraphy of the trench sections confirmed that the ground of the development area has been made up to level the surface for gardens and construction of the former garage. The natural slopes down slightly from east to west, and layers of redeposited subsoil and topsoil have been laid down to level the ground. Other than the undated collapsed drain in Trench 2, the limited area of the groundwork excavations revealed no further evidence to show that the site has had any other use prior to the construction of Weavers Cottage and the other surrounding buildings. |
