Abstract:		 The drought of 1995 required vast amounts of water to be transported by road from North Yorkshire to West Yorkshire, this, being an inefficient means of water transport, prompted proposals for improvements to the water supply infrastructure. Part of the proposed pipeline improvements ran from the Moor Monkton pumping station to Elvington, around the north and east side of the City of York. The evaluation consisted of a rapid desktop assessment which identified a number of sites of archaeological potential, ranging from medieval field systems to Iron Age settlement. A fieldwalking programme was also undertaken and ran concurrently with the desktop assessment, the exercise identified three areas of medieval ridge and furrow. At the same time as surface collection a geophysical survey was undertaken which was not successful due to bad ground conditions and the presence of metal pipelines which made the surveying of some areas impossible. Finally, a series of excavations were undertaken which were successful in identifying the line of a Roman road which linked York with Stamford Bridge. Other excavations were successful in identifying areas of substantial Iron Age settlement. fast savage excavations was carried out in the areas at most threat without any delay to the pipeline laying.
