Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological evaluation and excavation was carried out in advance of residential development on land off Wrenthorpe Lane, Wrenthorpe, West Yorkshire. Ten trenches were excavated, each targeting anomalies detected as part of a geophysical survey, some of which were interpreted as potential kilns. On excavation five of the trenches contained archaeological features, including a small number of undated ditches and discrete features. Trench 6 contained a series deposits relating to a kiln or kilns which was later the focus of a small open-area excavation. This confirmed the presence of three brick clamps and spreads of associated material. The brick samples recovered indicate a late 19th-century date onwards for their manufacture. |
