Excavation in advance of the construction of an equine building. The site is located within an area of extensive prehistoric activity including Duggleby Howe, a large round barrow located some 400m to the south-east and a vast complex of square and rectilinear enclosures appended of a ditched trackway, which have been identified to the west of the site as cropmarks. A small rectilinear enclosure was identified within the site boundary, which is comparable to those identified as cropmarks to the west. An assemblage of pottery dated activity on the site to the Iron Age period, along with animal bone and a single flint flake also recovered from the site. All are suggestive of a rural, largely agricultural site. Comparable features in the eastern region of the stripped area were recorded in plan but were not excavated. Due to the nature of the development these features will be preserved in situ.
