Abstract: |
A series of evaluation test pits and trial trenches were excavated within the vicinity of the current southern car park and terraced areas of Nidd Hall, where the new proposals would impact through the construction of buildings, a passage, and new roads. The test pits were intended to measure the degree of fi ll or truncation associated with the terrace and the existing car park. Further down the slope where terracing was likely to have had less of an impact other trenches were opened (mainly within the footprint of the proposed new access road) to test for the presence of buried archaeological remains. The results achieved by the evaluation demonstrated that extensive modern modifi cation of the ground surface and topography had taken place in the vicinity of the hotel terrace and the car park. In other areas soil horizons seemed intact, but no archaeological remains were located. Historical evidence suggests that the terrace on the south side of the hall was probably constructed around 1896. |
