Digital Archive from an Archaeological Watching Brief along the Malham Tarn Cable Route, North Yorkshire, June to July 2013

This collection consists of images and text from an archaeological watching brief by Oxford Archaeology North. Work occurred along the proposed installation route of an underground cable on land to the west of Malham Tarn, Malham, Yorkshire Dales National Park. The excavation of a c.2km cable trench from the south of Higher Trenhouses, following the road north and north-east to Home Farm, skirting around the edge of Tarn Moss, happened between June and July 2013. An undated (but probably post-medieval) limestone culvert was identified at Keepers Cottage, Waterhouses. In addition, several stone objects of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date were recovered from the topsoil at Waterhouse.

本数据集包含牛津北部考古（Oxford Archaeology North）编制的考古监察简报（archaeological watching brief）相关图像与文本资料。本次作业沿约克郡谷地国家公园马尔哈姆（Malham）马尔哈姆潭（Malham Tarn）西侧地块内的拟建地下电缆铺设线路开展。2013年6月至7月间，作业团队开挖了一条长约2公里的电缆沟：线路从上特雷恩豪斯兹（Higher Trenhouses）南侧出发，沿道路向北、东北方向延伸至主农场（Home Farm），途经塔恩莫斯（Tarn Moss）湿地边缘。在沃特豪斯兹（Waterhouses）的看守人小屋处，发现了一座无纪年但推测为中世纪后期的石灰岩暗渠。此外，在沃特豪斯（Waterhouse）的表层土壤中，出土了多件年代介于晚中石器时代至早新石器时代之间的石器制品。
