Hatfield Neolithic Trackway

The Hatfield Neolithic Trackway (Lindholme Trackway) was discovered in 2004, and is one of the oldest known ancient timber trackways in England [1]. The trackway is the second confirmed archaeological structure from Hatfield and Thorne Moors [1]. The Lindholme Trackway dates to around 2900–2500 BC [1]. In October 2004 a number of worked wooden poles were discovered by a local man who was walking across the site [1]. The site was constructed during a period of environmental transformation, where evidence from the coleopteran analyses demonstrated the site was built at a time of increasingly wet and acidic conditions [1]. In 2017 the trackway was designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument by Historic England [1].
