Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment, White Hall Farm, Snow Hill, Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In February 2009, ARCUS were commissioned by Halliwells LLP to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at White Hall Farm, Snow Hill, Wakefield, West Yorkshire (centred on NGR 325 224). The evaluation was requested in relation to the planned mixed use redevelopment of the site, with dedicated residential, employment, educational, retail and recreational areas. The main archaeological sites within the proposal area are Roman Road 721; the potential site of the medieval Wrenthorpe Hall; the post-medieval Red Hall Farm; and the 19th- to 20th-century Wrenthorpe Colliery. The projected course of Roman Road 721 may run through the western part of the site, although this identification is conjectural and the road is not known from archaeological evidence. Wrenthorpe Manor appears to have been located within the immediate vicinity of Red Hall Farm during the medieval period. Features such as Red Hall Lane may also have been extant during this period. Red Hall Farm itself dates from around 1610 and appears to have replaced a Tudor mansion which stood immediately to the west. Numerous archaeological artefacts are said to have been recovered from this area prior to the 20th century and it is possible that sub-surface features associated with the medieval and Tudor structures may survive. Post-medieval and modern activity within this area appears to have been largely restricted to agriculture, with the possible exception of small areas of mineral extraction. However, the fields have been largely abandoned and have reverted to scrub. White Hall Farm, extant by the third quarter of the 18 th century, was inaccessible during the site visit. The southern part of the site was occupied by Wrenthorpe Colliery from the mid-19 th to the early 20th centuries. Any archaeological deposits that were present within the developed areas are likely to have been damaged or destroyed in this area. Little evidence of features relating to the colliery remain extant although the extent of the underground workings is unclear and it is possible that further sub-surface archaeological deposits relating to former mining activities may be preserved. Previously unknown sub-surface archaeological deposits cannot be ruled out and the lack of development throughout the majority of the proposal area may suggest that any such deposits may be preserved in good condition. Groundworks associated with the development will impact on known archaeological sites and are also likely to impact on any currently unknown archaeological deposits that may be present. Red Hall Farm is a Grade II listed building and any physical impact upon this structure would require Listed Building Consent, which would not normally be given for applications that may be considered to be detrimental to the building. In addition, the visual setting of Red Hall Farm would be a consideration for the Local Planning Authority in assessing the planning application. With the exception of Red Hall Farm and White Hall Farm, the standing buildings within the site do not appear to be of architectural or historic interest.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
