Abstract:		 This report details the results of the archaeological evaluation undertaken at Nearer Storam, Skipton Castle, to advise on the archaeological potential of the site prior to the proposed construction of a new car park. The evaluation, via trial trenching, sought to evaluate anomalies identified by geophysical survey, earthworks and an apparently 'blank' (control) area. At the northern end of the site a trench targeting a sub-circular magnetic anomaly revealed part of a large feature which showed evidence of having undergone intense burning. The presence of wood charcoal and a lime deposit suggests that this feature forms part of a substantial lime kiln; the geophysical survey suggests there may be flues to the eastern and western sides. Although the wood charcoal was not suitable for radiocarbon dating, an archaeomagnetic date was acquired indicating a late 12th to early 13th century date for the final firing of the kiln. This period covers the time during which the gatehouse was re-built in stone (1192-1195) and the major re-building of the castle in stone from about 1227. The trench sampling across the route of a post-medieval tramway revealed that it ran within a wide, deep cutting now backfilled with compacted limestone fragments. An area of high resistance at the southern end of the site appears to have been due to a spread of rubble which may be collapse from a nearby structure. However, no in situ structure was identified within the trial trench.
