The Roads to the Past (RTTP) project was a National Lottery Heritage Fund volunteer community archaeology and history project, run as a partnership between the Thornton-le-Street History Group and Solstice Heritage. The fieldwork took place between July 2017 and March 2019 and comprised both test-pitting and open-area excavation by volunteers under professional archaeological supervision to investigate the area in and around the shrunken medieval village of Thornton-le-Street, North Yorkshire.

The archaeological fieldwork we undertook in in July and August/September 2017 comprising the excavation of twelve test pits (numbered 1–12) and a single trench (Trench 1). We also did some archaeology at a moated site c. 2.5 km to the south of the village. We are pleased to share our archaeological and general photographs relating to this part of the project below.
