Abstract: |
This project comprises the geomagnetic survey of two areas totalling 2.6 hectares at Cogden Hall, which is a Grade II Listed Building, and a single area of 1 hectare at Grinton Mound East. The works were commissioned by the Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Archaeology Group (SWAAG) and undertaken by Archaeological Services Durham University (ASDU). At Grinton Mound East a series of defensive ditches and stone banks have been identified with a number of possible structures within. External features such as possible trackways and ditches have also been identified. It is considered likely that the surviving earthworks and geophysical anomalies detected at Grinton Mound East reflect the remains of a significant fortified settlement. Sub-surface archaeology outside the earthworks may have been impacted upon by later landscaping activity connected to the previous use of the area as a part of a golf course. At Cogden Hall several features have been detected. A number of anomalies complimented previously recorded earthworks. Series of enclosures and concentrations of fired or ferrous debris, possibly reflecting occupation or small scale industrial activity, have been identified together with a modern service. |
