Abstract: |
The work at Mill Lane, Smeeton Westerby consisted of the excavation of 3 trenches each measuring 15m long positioned over different areas of a proposed detached dwelling. The results of the evaluation show archaeological remains were present on the site with medieval pottery found overlying a layer of stones in trench 2. This trench also had 2 different layers of stones at the northern end which appeared to be a deliberate dump potentially representing made-ground. The easterly trench had a modern and post-medieval gully orientated east to west and the southerly trench was negative, but was found to contain a layer of building rubble at the base of the subsoil.Several examples of unstratified medieval pottery that have unusual form and decoration for the region were also recovered. |
