| Title | Watcing Brief between Northgate and Back Northgate, Pontefract |
| Description | WYAS watching brief in advance of road alteration/development. Observation carried out of sections resulting from machine stripping to bedrock, and of service trenches, revealed Medieval remains adjacent to and the full length of Cockpit Lane between Northgate and Back Northgate (centred on grid ref. above.)
