Abstract:		 A total of twenty two trenches were excavated across the site targeting positive geophysical survey results and blank areas. Eleven of the trenches revealed no archaeological results. Trenches 17 and 21 identified a V-shaped ditch aligned northeast to southwest which was not evident in the geophysical survey results. A single sherd of 2nd century AD mortarium pottery recovered from one of the ditch cuts gives a date for the feature. The uncovered ditch was not located close to any intense settlement activity but the pottery does suggest some settlement activity in the near vicinity. A small post hole near to the ditch could be bioturbatory in nature. Trench 5 contained evidence of five furrows from medieval agricultural practices. No other furrows were noted across the site suggesting that other potential farming evidence had been ploughed away. Trenches 1, 7, 8, 11, 13 and 14, to the western half of the site uncovered evidence of a Post-medieval field boundary running northeast to southwest. The feature was evident on cartographic evidence from 1854 and the geophysical survey. A second geophysical feature running parallel to this, to the east, was not visible archaeologically and may have related to a shallower sub-surface feature. A small part of of a former building (Bleach House) was shown to still be visable at foundation level with a cobble exterior floor demonstrating that the floor level associated with the building at the time was 1m lower than the current agricultural land surface The project archive resulting from the excavation is currently held at the Wessex Archaeology Sheffield office under project code 108990. The archive will be deposited with The East Yorkshire Museum under an accession number to be issued in due course.
