This report concerns the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief that was carried out on the groundworks associated with the erection of a 2- bedroom agricultural workers dwelling with separate garage and formation of vehicular access on land to the rear of Mount Pleasant Farm, Welburn, Malton, North Yorkshire (SE 473441 466876). The ploughsoil was stripped from the location of the plot boundary extents and double garage boundary extents, which formed two separate rectangles. The ploughsoil was stripped using a 360o tracked mechanical excavator operating under close archaeological supervision. Machining ceased at the top of archaeological or naturally-formed deposits, depending upon which was located soonest. The exposed surfaces were cleaned by shovel, hoe or trowel as appropriate, and all subsequent excavation carried out by hand. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were encountered throughout the Watching Brief.
