Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Accent Foundation to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Rarey Farm Weaverthorpe, North Yorkshire. The evaluation was requested by Melanie Partlett, North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) Historic Environment Team, to inform a planning application (12/00969/MFUL) for proposed residential development of the Site, and follows on from previous geophysical survey of the Site by Wessex Archaeology in 2012. The programme of works, to assess the level of survival of archaeological remains on the Site, comprised archaeological investigation by machine excavated trial trenches. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were uncovered during the evaluation. The stratigraphy of the site was a thin layer of topsoil overlying made ground (in the western half of site) and natural chalk. The only features identified were probable plough furrows and modern field drains matching the alignment of geophysical anomalies and trends. No artefacts were recovered; 19th to 20th century ceramic and modern CBM was noted in the made ground. The archive from the evaluation is currently retained in the Wessex Archaeology Sheffield Office and will be deposited with Malton Museum in due course.
