The construction of the A1 (M) Darrington to Dishforth DBFO road scheme
has provided an important opportunity to investigate landscape
development over time in parts of West and North Yorkshire. Over sixty
archaeological sites were investigated in advance of and alongside the
massive engineering works in one of the largest programmes of
archaeological fieldwork seen in the UK. The results of the work will
greatly enhance understanding of the archaeology of the magnesian
limestone areas of West and North Yorkshire. The most significant
results are presented here in this book funded by the Highways Agency as
part of its commitment to the historic environment and dissemination of
work undertaken on its behalf.
