Abstract:		 Between February and May 2009, Archaeology Services WYAS carried out both geophysical (magnetometer and earth resistance) and archaeological evaluations followed by a targeted open area excavation within the grounds of Ripon House, Ripon, a former North Yorkshire County Council nursing home. The work was commissioned by Home Group Limited prior to development of the site. The geophysical survey yielded few areas of possible archaeological interest; however it is probable that current land-use affected the results obtained. The evaluation revealed evidence of medieval activity, a late medieval lime kiln, evidence of post medieval quarrying and a brick-built Victorian water cistern serviced by three culverts. A small open-area excavation was centred on the lime kiln. The kiln consisted of a 2.2m deep tapered fire pit measuring 5.7m in diameter at the top and 4m at the base. It had two opposing projecting flues, roofed with stone lintels, through which air entering the kiln could be regulated. The pit had a stone flagged base and was lined with a revetment wall constructed of re-used dressed limestone blocks and cobbles. Pottery recovered from the backfill of the kiln dates its abandonment to the mid 16th-century.
