Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Osborne Road, Todwick to assess the potential for the survival of archaeological remains within the site. The evaluation comprised twelve 50m by 2m trenches, which contained limited archaeological evidence. A total of four land drains and three linear features, aligned north to south, were recorded across the site. The function of the linear features is unclear and it is possible that they represent recent ground disturbance at the site. Twelve sherds of pottery were recovered from two of the linear features, although these ranged in date from medieval to 19th century and as such are likely represent disturbed deposits. Only two probable late medieval pottery sherds were recovered from these deposits, and the material was residual. This suggests that occupation activity in the medieval period was concentrated on the core of the village, with the majority of the site being part of one or more fields from this period onwards. No indication of activity pre-dating the medieval period was found during the evaluation. |
