Archaeological Desk-Top Appraisal Bell, C Barnard Castle : Northern Archaeological Associates, 2002, 19pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Northern Archaeological Associates

The assessment identified within the study area, scheduled monuments of a cairn field and the 'Ring of Stones' cairn, both on Ringstone Edge Moor and Slack Roman Fort. Evidence for human activity from the prehistoric period through to the post-medieval was recorded along the proposed water main route. Prehistoric activity was identified in the form of a burial site and find spots. The water main route was also identified as crossing a Roman Road leading to Slack Fort. Medieval and post-medieval settlement patterns relating to agriculture and industrial exploitation were also identified. [Au(Adp)]

The route transects six archaeological sites of regional and/or local importance and passes in close proximity to five other sites. It is proposed that route amendments are undertaken to Birtley Farm and Partridge Nest Farm, in order to remove these potential impacts and that minor route amendments are considered in tow other areas to avoid discrete features.

Although there is some earthwork evidence to suggest that archaeological remains associated with the main monastic complex extend into the western edge of the field in the vicinity of the abbey church and the infirmary, these earthworks do not extend to the access route. It is recommended that, in order to clarify the potential impact of the proposed access upon archaeological remains, earthwork and geophysical surveys are undertaken.

Given the quiet nature of the archaeology suggested by the geophysical survey, the absence of archaeological features, other than the land drains and plough furrows and the poor artefact assemblage recovered during the trial trenching the requirement for any further archaeological work on the proposed Gatherly Road Phase II development site seems inappropriate.

The study showed that there may have been settlement in the area from as early as the 2nd century. This was likely to have continued through the Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian periods, and there was no doubt that Selby has been of local an regional significance since the 11th century. The study area was shown to be active in river trade throughout the modern and post-medieval periods and probably the medieval period as well. It was thought possible that significant remains of other periods could also be present as well, and to this end further archaeological investigation was recommended. [Au(abr)]

An assessment carried out as a result of a flood alleviation scheme revealed an archaeologically rich landscape that has been exploited since early prehistoric times. Areas within the development area possessed great archaeological potential, however the impact of the proposed scheme was dependent upon the depth and extent of groundworks. Mitigation could not be decided upon until the nature of the work to be carried out was known. [Au(abr)]

38 archaeological sites are within 250m of the pipeline route. The sites include a group of five Bronze Age round barrows, findspots of prehistoric flint, and a Roman Road with an associated cist burial. However, the majority of the sites comprised the remains of field systems, ridge and furrow and a number of stone quarries of medieval/ post-medieval date. There is also a spring, a well, a series of ponds and four list buildings. The impact of the pit excavation on archaeological remains is thought to be minimal. [Au(abr)]
