Abstract:
A geophysical evaluation covering an area of 5 hectares and comprising both magnetometer and earth resistance surveys was carried out in a field to the west of Spital Farm, Staxton, part of which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument thought to be the site of a medieval hospital. Anomalies corresponding to upstanding earthworks as well as to other previously unknown subsurface features have been identified both within and beyond the scheduled area. These anomalies are indicative of infilled ditches forming possible enclosures as well as discrete anomalies indicative of pits, areas of burning and possibly graves. It was not clear whether any of the identified anomalies was associated with the former hospital although the type and morphology of the anomalies was suggestive of more than one period of activity.
