Title
Animal remains of unknown date
Description
English: A collection of animal remains comprising twenty four oyster shells, three cockle shells, two mussel shells and two whelk shells. These probably represent a midden site but are themselves impossible to date. The site is near Ferrybridge Henge, a Roman fort, a reputed holy well and a 1960s rubbish dump so is likely to be a multi-period site.
