Bronze Age Round Barrow with Burial Features at Sowerby Gateway Sports Village, North Yorkshire. Archaeological Investigations 2017–2018
Archaeological investigations were undertaken at land off Gravel Hole Lane, Sowerby, North Yorkshire, between 2017 and 2018. Excavations revealed a Bronze Age round barrow, with internal features containing cremated human remains and the remains of three early Bronze Age Food Vessels. The Sowerby barrow is significant as lowland Bronze Age round barrows are scarce in this part of Yorkshire and have rarely been investigated using modern excavation…
An Indication of Northern Souls
This article revisits the interpretation of the distinctive cross-ridge boundaries of north-east Yorkshire and explains a regular association between these features and the far earlier Early Bronze Age burial mounds. Radiocarbon dating and palynological evidence now provides a chronology for the boundaries, while field survey and excavation evidence confirms a new and specific role for cross-ridge boundaries in protecting long established Early B…
Iron Age and Roman Settlement at Land North of Newmarket Lane, Methley, Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Excavations to the southwest of Methley on a site to the north of the River Calder recorded an Iron Age settlement with possible Bronze Age origins, where a small community inhabited at least three phases of roundhouse within a large polygonal enclosure on the top of a hill overlooking the surrounding landscape. This was followed by Romano-British occupation during the mid to late second century AD and the mid third to early fifth century AD furt…

The prehistory of York
Over the past half century knowledge of the archaeology of Roman, Viking and Medieval York has advanced significantly, yet information on preceding prehistoric periods remains scanty. To all intents and purposes the prehistory of the York area is as invisible in literature as it is on the ground. This paper will briefly review the background to the prehistory of York, attempt a characterisation of the archaeology, and propose an outline strategy …

An Exotic Early Bronze Age Funerary Assemblage from Stanbury, West Yorkshire
The chance find of a discrete pit containing an Early Bronze Age funerary deposit was made at Stanbury, West Yorkshire, during the spring of 2007. A large Collared Urn, which was inverted, contained the cremated remains of a young male, together with a stone battle-axe, a bone belt-hook and pin, a pair of copper alloy earrings, and an accessory vessel. The burial was accompanied by two further Collared Urns, one of which was near complete. The tw…
A New Context for Rock Art
After fire swept across 2.5 km 2 of heather moorland the detail of a wide range of archaeological features was revealed. Among these was a so-far unique small circular monument, the principal component of which was a circle of near-upright slabs set in a shallow trench. The stones included one with a complex pecked geometric design reminiscent of some Grooved Ware ceramic decoration, and another with more commonly found cup-mark and linear motifs…

Cottam
The presence of Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian settlements at Cottam, East Yorkshire, was first indicated in 1987 by numerous finds of copper alloy coins, dress pins and strap ends by metal detector users. This report presents the results of fieldwork carried out on behalf of the Department of Archaeology, University of York, between 1993–95, including fieldwalking, geophysical survey, and excavation. This revealed an enclosure of the eighth to n…

Excavations in the Brenig Valley
The territory of ritual
On the North Yorkshire Moors, in northeast England, is a series of linear boundaries which are characteristically placed across upland spurs and promontories. Survey and excavation suggest that these boundaries operated in conjunction with natural features to define areas of the prehistoric landscape which may have been concerned with ritual during the final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age

Rumney Castle, a Ringwork and Manorial Centre in South Glamorgan
RUMNEY CASTLE, a small ringwork historically part of the marcher lordship of Gwynllŵg, was situated above a steep natural scarp overlooking the R. Rhymney. First mentioned in A.D. 1184–85, the castle guarded the W. boundary of the lordship and the river crossing. The defences consisted of a ditch and clay rampart constructed around three sides of the site. Initially incorporated into the defences along the fourth side was a large timber building …

The Excavation of a Neolithic Cairn at Street House, Loftus, Cleveland
In 1979 Cleveland County Archaeology Section completed fieldwork for a survey of Bronze Age burial mounds in the county. The survey isolated a number of themes for further investigation, including the examination of several of the few remaining barrows near the coast, all of which are threatened with destruction from continued ploughing. One of these mounds was a shallow earthwork surviving in a hedgebank at Street House Farm, Loftus. Excavation …

Mole Trapping in South Wales
Thinly distributed amongst the museum collections of south Wales are the relics of a now vanished method of trapping moles which combined a countryman's observation of their habits with the craft of the potter and carpenter. The manner of catching moles in a variant of the pit-fall trap has been outlined by Bateman, who describes the type as the ‘Monmouthshire Trap’, but in fact it had a more widespread distribution across south Wales
A Medieval and Later Water Mill at Norton-on-Tees, Cleveland
Norton Mill, largely demolished during this century, was thought to have occupied its site continuously since the twelfth century and road construction offered the opportunity to test this view through excavation. A complex building chronology was revealed.
