Abstract
EXCAVATIONS took place on the early medieval settlement of Simy Folds in Upper Teesdale, Co. Durham in 1976, 1979 and 1981 when three sites were examined. An adjacent peat bog was sampled and a radiocarbon-dated pollen diagram constructed. Each site consisted of the stone foundations of a single long narrow rectangular building with one or two small subrectangular buildings at right angles to it, arranged to enclose a yard. The sites lie within an extensive field system probably prehistoric in origin. One site produced evidence of iron smelting and smithing. There were no datable finds but radiocarbon determinations of the mid 8th century a.d. were obtained from charcoal from two buildings.
