Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation, topographical survey and watching brief in advance of, and during, a programme of resurfacing works on Cam High Road, Upper Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales National Park. The topographic survey targeted three areas of the track as a representative sample of the landscape as a whole, whilst the evaluation, comprising three trenches, investigated the potential sub-surface survival of deposits related to the Roman road and turnpike. The topographic survey confirmed the complexity of the origins of the trackway, but seemed to indicate that most of the surviving remains were now of modern date, relating to the resurfacing of the route and the recutting of the ditches which had occurred over the last ten or more years. The results of the evaluation were also largely negative, though a section of earlier road, potentially of Roman date and comprising a metalled surface with associated ditches, was uncovered in Trench 2, off the line of the proposed new trackway. The watching brief did not uncover any new features, though a monitored section through the road did confirm that its base had been cut by machine.
