Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken for land proposed for a southern extension of Jackdaw Crag Quarry, near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. Although there are no significant archaeological sites known to exist within the proposed extraction area, there is considerable potential as cropmarks representing field systems and boundaries of probable later prehistoric or Romano-British date have been identified throughout the study area. Additionally, the courses of three Roman Roads are located in the northern part of the study area. There is a long history of limestone extraction in the area and documentary sources suggest that the Jackdaw Crag quarry, known previously as 'Thevesdale', had been established by the 13th century. |
