5 pm 'Excavations at Street House, Loftus, North East Yorkshire: Neolithic – Anglo-Saxon'
by Dr Steve Sherlock

Excavations between 2004 and 2018 at Street House, Loftus, North East Yorkshire, have revealed evidence for a range of sites extending from Early Neolithic settlement, to an Anglo-Saxon cemetery of seventh century date. The earliest features comprise structural evidence for Neolithic settlement c. 3,700BC, that is contemporary with a Neolithic long cairn excavated between 1979 and 1981.The main focus of the excavations was on a Late Iron Age settlement, where salt was being manufactured by the evaporation of brine collected from the sea. This developed settlement formed an open village that extended into the Roman period when pottery, jet and salt were manufactured by AD 300. The Iron Age enclosure was to become the focus of a conversion period cemetery in the mid seventh century.
