Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 4 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land off Doncaster Road, to the north of Thorpe Audlin, at the request of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, in order to provide additional information about the extent and complexity of a cropmark site, believed to be a Roman fort. The survey has identified a series of linear anomalies describing a sub-square enclosure with internal partitioning suggestive of a Roman fort. Entrances have been located to the southern and eastern sides with a possible road providing access to the eastern entrance. The alignment and form of some of the internal features suggest that there may have been more than one phase of activity on this site. Anomalies to the east of the fort are possibly indicative of industrial activity with further features between the fort and the Roman road. |
