Exciting Prehistoric Artefacts Unearthed at Silsden Dig
A 5,000 year old complete funeral urn has been excavated on housing development land in Silsden.
The late Neolithic pot was dug up from the site of an ancient barrow in what archaeologists have described as an ‘exciting find.’
Arrow heads, pottery, and flint tools have also been unearthed during the seven week dig before Barratt Homes begin building work.
Prospect Archaeology organised the work on behalf of Barratt Homes and it was carried out by Archaeological Services WYAS.
