Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out a watching brief during the excavation of geotechnical test pits and boreholes on land located at Langton Road, Norton-on- Derwent, North Yorkshire. The work was carried out to inform proposals for archaeological mitigation work in advance of residential development. The site is terraced with two relatively flat areas separated by a slight downward slope to the southwest, running through the centre of the southern field, parallel to Mill Beck. The site has been previously subject to an archaeological desk-based assessment, a geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation trenching. The previous trenching demonstrated good survival of archaeological features on the site, with a focus of Romano-British activity on the lower terrace and medieval activity on the upper terrace. Thirty-six test geotechnical pits (TPs 01-12, 12A-C, 13-26, 26A-B and 27-31) were excavated to a depth of c. 3 m and five boreholes were excavated to a depth of c. 8 m (BHs 01-05). No archaeological features of interest were identified during the test pitting. A limited expanse of peat-like material was observed in TPs12 and 12B. This material may relate to one of the palaeochannels previously identified during evaluation trenching in Trenches 4, 6 and 10. A small quantity of clinker and possible slag was observed within the topsoil in TPs26 and 26A-B, most likely relating to recent dumping of material for levelling or surfacing. A limited quantity of finds, comprising four sherds of medieval pottery and three fragments of animal bone, were recovered from topsoil and subsoil layers in five of the test pits (TPs 20, 24, 25, 26 and 30). It was not possible to observe the boreholes below the initial 0.25 m - 0.5 m of hand excavation through topsoil and subsoil.
