Foxrush Farm
Foxrush Farm was an Iron Age farming settlement, located on the former banks of the river Tees and in close proximity to the Eston hills. Between 2003 and 2006 there were several excavations at the site. With the help of local volunteers several round houses were found, as well as evidence of metal working and a very large enclosure ditch. Foxrush Farm lies within the Cleveland Community Forest approximately 1.5 kilometres south-west from the town of Redcar on the north-east coast of England. The archaeological site at Foxrush Farm was discovered by aerial photography in 1990. The photographs show the ditch of a rectangular enclosure, typical of those surrounding Iron Age farmsteads in the area, and also three circular cropmark features. So it was thought prudent to investigate the site further. |
