Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology have been commissioned by Cassidy and Ashton to undertake an archaeological strip, map and sample on land at Cantley Sycamore Primary School, Doncaster. The archaeological work is required as a condition of planning consent for development at the Site, which includes road widening and the provision of extra parking. parking. The investigation revealed five archaeological features: one section of curvilinear gully, one short length of linear ditch, two lengths of a ditch or gully and a post-hole. Only one feature, a ditch or gully, contained dateable material; two sherds of Romano-British pottery, one of which was dated to the 3rd to 4th century AD. Fragments of fuel ash slag and two possible fragments of spheroidal hammerslag, the latter typically associated with smithing, were also recovered from one ditch. The fragmentary nature of the excavated areas and lack of datable material recovered precludes a more detailed interpretation of the findings. However, the features are consistent in form with those identified during previous 2003 and 2005 excavations to the east; these revealed evidence of domestic activity and agricultural land use ranging from the late 1st to early 4th century AD. The datable material recorded during the current investigation fits into the latter part of this occupation sequence. |
