A Watching Brief was undertaken by MAP Archaeological Practice Ltd at 9, Welham Road Norton, Malton, North Yorkshire (SE 79037 71184) during May and June 2013. The work involved monitoring the groundworks associated with the erection of an extension on the north elevation of the existing bungalow (Ref. No. 12/00860/FUL). The monitored groundworks consisted of the removal of topsoil and the subsequent reduction of a rectangular area, followed by the excavation of strip foundation trenches along three sides of the excavated area. All excavations were undertaken by a back-acting mechanical excavator, operating under full archaeological supervision. No archaeological deposits, features or finds were located.
