Abstract
Excavations to the southwest of Methley on a site to the north of the River Calder recorded an Iron Age settlement with possible Bronze Age origins, where a small community inhabited at least three phases of roundhouse within a large polygonal enclosure on the top of a hill overlooking the surrounding landscape. This was followed by Romano-British occupation during the mid to late second century AD and the mid third to early fifth century AD further to the south on the hill slope.

The project, undertaken by staff of Archaeological Services WYAS, was commissioned by Sarah Hannon-Bland of The Environment Partnership of Mountpark Logistics and monitored by David Hunter of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service. Excavations were supervised by Steffan Golby, Mathew James and Declan New and managed by Kevin Moon. and all site and phase plans were produced by Kevin Moon. Due to limited publication space, it has been necessary to reduce the description of the archaeological remains to select features and to integrate specialist data and interpretations within the archaeological narrative. While brief summaries of the specialist reports have been provided here, the original client report, which includes the full specialist reports, has been deposited with the Archaeology Data Service as part of their OASIS programme. This can be accessed at https://oasis.ac.uk/int/project/summary.xhtml?oasisId=archaeol11-510370.
