This report sets out the results of an Archaeological Strip and Record that was carried out on July 11 and 12 2012 during the excavation of the foundations for a pair of semi-detached dwellings at 12 Plum Street, Norton, Malton, North Yorkshire (SE 7957 7148). The groundworks were carried out by a 3.5 tonne 360o excavator. The topsoil strip removed 0.05m of material at the north of the site and a 0.30m depth at the south; this followed general site clearance that had been carried out previous to the archaeological phase of work. The foundation trenches were c. 0.70m wide and 0.40m deep. The service were to be connected to the existing amenities. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered during this phase of archaeological work.
