Monument record 7718/1/1 - Remains of probable modern field barn, north of the River Ouse

Please read our .

Summary

Geophysical survey in 2012 identified an area of magnetic disturbance. Subsequent trial trench excavation revealed demolition material associated with an isolated building, probably a field barn, depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. It had been demolished by 1900, probably in connection with the construction of the Great Central Railway immediately to the west.
