Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Jones Homes (Northern) Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with housing development on 0.7 ha of land adjacent to Hanson House, Normanton, West Yorkshire (NGR SE 38872 22451). The scheme of monitoring was required as a condition of planning consent granted by Wakefield Metropolitan District Council (Planning Application reference 07/00704/FUL) and was undertaken in accordance with a Specification issued by the West Yorkshire Archaeological Advisory Service. This report concerns the first stage of the watching brief, which comprised the observation of foundation trenches excavated for the first property to be constructed only: further stages of monitoring will be required in respect of construction of other properties on the Site. The Site is situated immediately east of and adjacent to Hanson House, a complex of Grade II listed buildings thought to have originated in the 16th century. Archaeological evaluation of land surrounding Hanson House (ARCUS 2008) revealed two ditches of likely medieval date. At the time of fieldwork the Site had been cleared for redevelopment, having previously been used as a builder's yard comprising extensive areas of modern concrete and tarmac paving in between 20th century warehouses and workshops. |
