Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:24:30 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Archaeology in Grass Wood https://uwfs.org.uk/event/archaeology-in-grass-wood/ Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:30:00 +0000 https://uwfs.org.uk/?post_type=tribe_events&p=11587 Grass Wood is the local Yorkshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve. It is a Site of Special
Scientific Interest (a SSSI) due the importance of its botany and of considerable natural
history interest. Grass Wood also contains a rich range and large number of items of
archaeological interest reflecting a probable 2000 years of human activity. These are of
intrinsic interest, documenting a long period of social change and include two Scheduled
Ancient Monuments (SAMs). Collectively, these archaeological remains form a real
management challenge. This talk will review archaeology within Grass Wood – who found it,
what they found, and what they made of it. It will conclude by looking at the results of two
recent professional surveys of the SAMs.
