Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by ULAS for ARM Buildings Ltd at Hall Farm, Newsham, North Yorkshire (NZ 095 117) during ground-works associated with the construction of a new piggery on the site, currently agricultural land. The site lies close to the A66 a former Roman road and other known archaeological features. Most of the site proved negative for archaeological features. Close to the south-east corner of the site a number of drains, including a stone culvert were revealed, which appeared to have been used to drain a spring in the area, which was disturbed during the ground-works. No dating evidence for the series of drains was uncovered during the observations, a ceramic drain on the site was likely to date from the 19th century; the stone drain may have been earlier but could not be closely dated. |
