This report sets out the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken during the excavation of a drainage trench at 1 Sycamore Farm, Main Street, West Lutton, North Yorkshire (SE 93098 69304). As the development had the potential to disturb archaeological remains the Heritage Section of NYCC advised that an Archaeological Watching Brief be attached to the planning permission (08/00049/REM). MAP Archaeological Practice Ltd was engaged to carry out the archaeological work, which took place on 27th May 2011. The foundations for the new extension were excavated by a 360o tracked mini-excavator. A service trench, c. 15m in length, was dug along the Main Street frontage. This trench was c. 0.90m deep. No archaeological deposits existed within the Watching Brief area. A single sherd of Roman pottery was recovered from the subsoil (rim sherd of a Calcite gritted war jar).
