Abstract:		 The work was undertaken on 1st December 2020 by Ben Swain on behalf ofDigVentures. An archaeological presence was maintained during all groundwork on the Site. The works involved the reduction of the existing ground level using mechanical excavator with a toothless bucket up to a depth 200mm to facilitate laying of terram and a stone surface to protect below ground deposits from rutting at the access point for heavy machinery from the A66. All work was completed under strict archaeological observation, with regular stops to enable examination of the exposed deposits. Monitoring of the groundworks revealed no significant archaeological finds or features. The remains of a post-medieval disused stone field boundary was uncovered. The access is to be utilised to and from the A66 for heavy agricultural machinery and as a holding pen for sheep and cattle. Car wheel-trims, a car badge, plastic bottles, a wooden plank, gate fitting and a horseshoe were present in some of the observed deposits. All of which are considered to be modern in date. No archaeological features were identified linked to the Roman fort, vicus or road. The absence of any significant features may be because of the shallow depth of the excavated deposits (200mm maximum). No evidence of the Roman fort, vicus or road was encountered, although due to the shallow depth of the excavations it does not discount the possibility that features associated with Roman settlement or occupation are located in the area.
