The construction of the Asselby to Pannal natural gas pipeline has
provided an important opportunity to investigate the early
landscapes of North and West Yorkshire. A combination of
non-intrusive and intrusive archaeological techniques has been
employed, over a five-year period by Oxford Archaeology North and
Network Archaeology Ltd, in order to explore the archaeology along
the pipeline. The archaeological investigation included the
large-scale excavation of 14 archaeological sites, and 136
evaluation trenches. The results of this work will greatly enhance
understanding of the archaeology of the southern part of the Vale
of York, the Magnesian Limestone areas of North and West Yorkshire,
and the eastern margins of the Pennine uplands. Within these
distinct landscapes, evidence for early prehistoric through to
post-medieval period activity was discovered. However, the majority
of excavated remains date to the Iron Age and Roman period, and
relate to the creation of field systems and schemes of land
division, as well as settlements and enclosures. In addition, parts
of the South Dyke and Becca Banks, which form elements of the
Aberford Dykes complex, were examined, and this has provided fresh
insights into the chronology and use of these important monuments.
The volume arises from a multi-disciplinary approach to the
archaeology, with the emphasis placed on interpreting the sites
within their wider landscape context. It includes the work of a
range of authors, drawn from Oxford Archaeology and Network
Archaeology Ltd, and also several external specialists.
