Abstract:		 Elite Property Services was advised by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority''s Senior Conservation Archaeologist that an archaeological field evaluation was required to help assess the impact of a proposed new domestic dwelling adjacent to the Manor House at Airton. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the evaluation. The site lies immediately north of the Manor House, in the centre of Airton. It comprises a vacant plot overlooking the village green, on a relatively level terrace. The underlying geology consists of boulder clay over Carboniferous limestone. There has been a considerable build-up of cultivated garden soil on the site, following its previous use as an orchard, and spoil from adjacent ground-works has been stockpiled there since 2006. Airton is recorded in Domesday; its name denotes a farmstead on the River Aire. Ordnance Survey maps depict the site as open ground; buildings shown on the Jefferys map in the 1770s may be the result of cartographic stylisation. The adjacent Manor House is Grade II listed and dates from the early 19th century, or possibly earlier. The house is fairly modest in proportion, and it is possible that the name ''Manor House'' may simply be an affectation. The evaluation revealed the north-western corner of a cobbled surface at the southern edge of the development area, which had been cut into the hillside. A probable modern garden wall foundation cut through the cobbled surface, while another modern feature lay immediately north of it. The remains are considered to be of local interest, with no regional or national significance. The artefacts recovered did not merit retention, and have been discarded.
