Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a topographic earthwork survey and archaeological monitoring undertaken as part of the construction of a new water pipeline between Cracoe and Rylstone in Craven District, North Yorkshire. The earthwork survey undertaken as part of the scheme recorded enclosures, hollow ways and larger fields of ridge and furrow cultivation, all of which survived as slight upstanding features. These enclosures most likely represented the rear of settlement plots that fronted the main road through the village, which is currently located c.75m to the south. The northern edge of the enclosures was delimited by a large east to west hollow way that most likely represented the remains of a back lane to the
medieval village. Beyond the back lane were the remains of further hollow ways, which
would have provided access to more distant farmland whilst serving as boundaries defined larger fields. Several terraces and indistinct trackways were recorded towards the east end of the survey area, although these may have been derived from post medieval use of the area. The results of the archaeological monitoring of excavations associated with pipeline
construction were largely negative. Record of medieval earthworks but nothing recovered from the monitoring works |
