Fieldwalking

We have fieldwalked over the area where the geophysical survey is being conducted. We are doing this to look for pottery and other artefacts. Our aims are to find what sorts of objects survive in ploughed fields realting to Athersley's past and to see if anything helps to date the cropmarks.

From our first look at the pottery we have found lots of Victorian crockery plus some sherds of possible Medieval pottery.

We will publish the report once it has been finished.
