The work was undertaken for Mr and Mrs Tesseyman to fulfil a planning condition that was imposed by North Yorkshire County Council (17/05306/FUL). The work was based on a Written Scheme of Investigation produced by YAT. The works involved the monitoring and recording of groundworks for the construction of a single dwelling. No archaeological deposits or artefacts were found during the watching brief.
