P5112 University of York, Heslington, York Main excavation : From November 2007 to October 2008 York Archaeological Trust conducted a geophysical survey and an archaeological excavation at Heslington East, Heslington, York. The site lies some 3km to the south-east of York City centre, c. 700m to the east of Heslington village, and incorporates areas of glacial moraine and parts of the low lying Vale of York basin. The works involved the excavation two large areas, A1 and A2, seven smaller trenches, Trenches L1-L7 and 17 Evaluation Trenches. Further works: Additional evaluation trenches were excavated across the site in advance of clay extraction. All works were carried out on behalf of the University of York.

P5580 Lotherton Hall An earthwork survey of upstanding medieval ridge and furrow was undertaken at Lotherton Hall in advance of a road improvement scheme. Geotechnical test pits assessed the route and a strip, map and record exercise was maintained during works. Further evidence for medieval ridge and furrow was recorded along with several linear features of unknown date and modern drainage features. A structural wall of probable post-medieval date was encountered near the stables and associated with them.

P5312 Rawcliffe Infant School, Eastholme Drive, York Five evaluation trenches were excavated in a recreation field to the immediate east of Rawcliffe Infant School, Eastholme Drive, York. Natural sub-soil deposits were encountered in all of the trenches at c.0.25m below modern ground level, which was between 11-12.00m AOD. Medieval or early post-medieval ridge and furrow was present in four of the trenches, while modern field drains were present in all five trenches. No other archaeological remains were found.

P5295 Land of Engine Lane Shafton Two-Gates Barnsley In December 2009 YAT undertook a series of trial trenches as part of an archaeological mitigation strategy at an 8 hectare development site at Shafton Two-Gates, 10km NE of Barnsley. A total of 25 trenches were opened up by machine which were located following the results of a geophysical survey. The survey backed up by previous work in the area had suggested that Iron Age/Romano British features as well as ridge and furrow and possible archaeological remains of an unknown nature survived within the project area. The results did not reveal any prehistoric remains but proved the existence of ridge and furrow where it cut into the natural. Sufficient ridge and furrow was shown to exist to confirm the existence of the remainder although it was not readily identifiable within the soil overburden. In addition a bell pit and two areas of burning of an unknown date were revealed. The work showed that the known prehistoric occupation to north of the site did not extend into the project area and that the bulk of anomalies identified in the geophysical survey could be accounted for by ridge and furrow and variations in the natural clay and bedrock.

A0882 Manor Farm, Manor Lane, Rawcliffe A topographic survey recorded medieval field boundaries and it was demonstrated that structures in this area were post-medieval in date. Excavation showed evidence of a Romano-British field ditch system. A large ditch which is likely to have acted as a parish boundary between Skelton and Rawcliffe was found to date from the Anglian or Anglo-Scandinavian period. A field drain and ridge and furrow provided evidence of medieval agriculture and a ditch may have been a minor boundary ditch. The buildings of Manor Farm are likely to be of post-medieval date.
