Source/Archive record SYO3007 - Hardmoor Farm Wheldrake Evaluation

Title Hardmoor Farm Wheldrake Evaluation
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2018

Abstract/Summary

Five test pits were excavated at Hardmoor Farm to evaluate the archaeological features revealed by a prior geophysical survey. Elements of an agricultural landscape or settlement were uncovered in all trenches, with the recovered pottery suggesting an Iron Age or early Roman date. Excavation of Trench 4 ceased when possible occupation layers and clay floors were revealed, while the other trenches were excavated down to natural geology.
