Abstract:		 An Archaeological Strip, Map and Record was carried out by MAP Archaeological Practice Ltd at City Fields (Phase 2, Western Area), Wakefield, West Yorkshire (centred SE 34578 22261) between January and June 2018, on behalf of Redrow Homes Yorkshire. The work was undertaken in advance of the construction of residential development (Application Ref.17/02079/REM in respect to outline permission 13/0263/HB). Phase II of the City Fields development lay within an archaeological landscape that had been previously illustrated through excavations by Wessex Archaeology, ASWYAS and On-site Archaeology, which collectively recorded activity spanning the Bronze Age, Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval periods as well as features relating to the First World War. The site had previously been Geophysically Surveyed by ASWYAS, identifying a range of anomalies of archaeological origin, represented by a D-shaped enclosure, rectangular enclosures and ditches, along with strong magnetic anomalies at the southeast of the area that could relate to the demolished St. Swithin's chapel. The excavations showed that a north-south land boundary had the D-shaped enclosure appended to it. A system of rectangular enclosures (or fields), with associated structural postholes and domestic pits, gullies and a probable corn drier, appeared to post-date the D-shaped enclosure. Dating evidence showed that the enclosure system spanned the Late Iron Age / First century AD through to the 3rd century AD. Features were also identified that related to medieval agricultural activity and the post medieval landscape probably associated with the adjacent Stanley Hall. A moderate assemblage of Romano-British and medieval pottery was recovered, along with a modest amount of ceramic building material, fired clay objects and animal bone.
