Land off Grove Road / Moor Lane, Kirk Sandall Phase 2 - Post-excavation Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

The excavation was the final stage in a programme of archaeological works which included trial trench evaluation and an earlier phase of mitigation, which found post-medieval structural remains and field systems. This final stage of archaeological mitigation recorded a number of post-medieval ditches, pits and structural remains as well as some possibly late medieval or earlier post-medieval pits. Modern structural remains were also identified as where some undated features. The site produced a modest artefactual assemblage ranging in date from Romano-British to post-medieval/modern, with the chronological focus on the post-medieval/modern period. Of particular significance is a small assemblage of medieval pottery which, although generally residual in later contexts, is of intrinsic interest, particularly a few sherds of Hallgate A1 ware.
