@SAHS_org have been back out to Buttercrambe, North Yorkshire, to continue our work at Aldby Park. We were surveying the remains of formal gardens, abandoned house plots and trackways, the work revealing a fascinating picture of change and continuity. #landscapearchaeology

Prof Nicky Milner’s back on TV- she was recently invited to visit the 'Great British Dig' tent. To illustrate the archaeology of Yorkshire, Nicky showed Hugh Dennis some finds from Flixton and Star Carr for the next series. We’ll let you know when it’s on!

A weekend excavating at Thorn Park Farm, near Raincliffe Wood, exploring a square enclosure seen on aerial photographs. @SAHS_org discovered a deep gully which may have held a line of upright wooden posts forming a palisade. We now await radiocarbon results.

The remains of a fourth century #Roman signal station at #Scarborough Castle. It is one of at least five along that stretch of coast, built to warn against raids. Excavated in the 1920s, it is slowly eroding into the sea. @EnglishHeritage #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain
ALT A colour landscape photograph showing the remains of a roughly square enclosure on a clifftop, with the sea behind. Its perimeter is marked with an earthen bank, and the low remains of stone walls and structures stand inside. The grass is parched and the view dramatic.

On a cold but sunny Sunday members of @SAHS_org field team undertook a geophysical survey across the line of a probable double-ditch track in the fields of Thorn Park Farm at the foot of Raincliffe Woods near Scarborough.

@HE_Archaeology mapped the track as a cropmark while our @SAHS_org geophysical survey pinpointed its exact location on the ground. We plan to excavate a section across the feature later this month to try and date it.

This excavation will form part of a wider project to study the historic landscape of Thorn Park Farm which is known to have included a deer park in the middle ages belonging to the manor of Seamer.
