Abstract: |
An extensive series of archaeological investigations at Byram Park, Brotherton was carried out during the expansion of Brotherton Quarry between 1998 and 2007. The works followed the identification of a number of possible archaeological features on aerial photographs, indicative of part of a rectilinear field system. The investigations confirmed this interpretation and in addition revealed numerous other ditches, gullies and discrete features. Seven inhumations were also identified. The majority of the artefacts recovered from the site were dated to the mid-2nd to early 4th century, with small assemblages of very late Roman or early post-Roman, and Anglo-Saxon pottery also identified. A program of radiocarbon dating revealed one inhumation dating to the Iron Age, while the remainder were Romano-British. Additionally, a number of features, including two post-hole alignments, were identified as dating to the post-medieval remodelling of Byram Park. |
