Watching Brief An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundworks associated with the replacement and upgrade of an electricity pole and the installation of a fifteen-metre earthing cable on land adjacent to the West Farm, Cawthorne, Pickering, North Yorkshire. The site is located within the scheduled monument of Cawthorne medieval settlement (List Entry Number 1018951). Three small trenches were excavated; all had a similar stratigraphy consisting of a topsoil, and a subsoil overlying natural sand. The subsoil comprised a thick medieval deposit containing residual, regionally produced pottery dating from the 12th to the 14th century. |
