This evaluation aims to assess the archaeological significance of Sites 1 and 2 near Leeds.
Conducted three phases of investigation including trial trenches, watching brief, and open area excavation.
Site 1 involved 5 trial trenches to investigate anomalies from a geophysical survey while Site 2 had 10 trenches and larger areas opened.
Evaluated and analyzed findings for prehistoric and historical features at both sites.
Site 1 showed that identified anomalies were mainly due to natural sandstone geology, with no significant archaeological features found.
Site 2 revealed artifacts dating from the early Neolithic to the Medieval period, leading to further investigations in 2002 and 2006.
Notable finds included a Neolithic Pit with Grimston ware and Bronze Age barrow ring ditches alongside cremation pits.
