Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works consisting of evaluation trenching and open-area excavation was undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd prior to the development of land at Ruskin Avenue, Wrenthorpe, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. This followed on from an earlier phase of works (Moore 2012). An enclosure identified from geophysical survey (GSB 2012) and dated in the previous phase of works was shown to continue, though it was heavily truncated by agricultural activity and disturbed by relict cultivation furrows and land drainage. No structural features or entrances to the enclosure were identified and apart from five small undated pits or post holes, there were no internal features. In addition to the open area excavation, seven evaluation trenches were excavated. Relict cultivation furrows were recorded in the trenches, as was post-medieval field drainage and deposits associated with the construction of a nearby railway. No other archaeological features were identified. Most of the pottery recovered was from the post-medieval contexts and dated from the 17th to 18th century. A single sherd of Romano-British pottery from the enclosure ditch was recovered from environmental samples, though the material was too abraded to date closely.
