Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Carillion Civil Engineering to carry out a programme of archaeological investigations on Bellerby Moor, off Whipperdale Bank, Leyburn, North Yorkshire at grid reference SE 08690 93306. The Site lies on Bellerby Moor and is located on Defence Estates land in the Catterick Training Area. The investigations comprised three stages of work; a sample excavation to establish the archaeological potential of the Site, followed by more extensive excavation and a watching brief during construction. Archaeological investigations at Herontree Range have confirmed that features originally thought to be Bronze Age clearance cairns, are in fact accumulations of stones as a result of natural erosion and movement due to environmental and topographical conditions. The watching brief revealed that the areas of stony ground were vast, and not isolated to individual spots, as would be expected within a Bronze Age field system with clearance cairns. The southern hollow-way identified in Area 1 may be post-medieval or older as it was overlain by the colluvium which was present across the rest of the Site, while the northern hollow-way is thought to be a modern feature as it was not overlain by the colluvium. The trackways across the Site were entirely waterlogged with streams running through them. It is possible that the trackways were created through water erosion. It is also possible that some of these features form seasonal streams that issue into the larger water courses to the north and west of the site.
