Images and GIS Data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Taylormade Timber, Sherburn Hill, County Durham, April 2022

This collection comprises images and GIS Data from an archaeological evaluation at Taylormade Timber, Sherburn Hill, County Durham. This work was undertaken by Solstice Heritage in April 2022. Thirteen archaeological evaluation trenches, measuring 30 x 2 m, targeting anomalies identified on geophysical survey as well as blank area testing, were situated within the proposed development area. No archaeological features were identified in the western block, aside from relatively modern interventions in the shape of late 19th-century to early 20th-century agricultural drainage. In the northern block, located outside the footprint of the colliery, the archaeological evaluation identified a phase of ridge and furrow cultivation, most likely dating to the medieval or early post-medieval periods.
