This years activity involved a geo-physical survey of a site previously identified between
Royston and Carlton, Barnsley, field walking for artefacts on the ground surface, further test
pits in private gardens and within school grounds. The test pits were able to be dated from the
recovery and specialist assessment of the pottery, clay pipes, glass, animal bones, metalwork
and industrial residues (iron and glass slags). Similar finds to the 2013-14 seasons were
revealed and largely date to the 20th century.
