Abstract:		 DigVentures Ltd was appointed by Forestry England to undertake an archaeological watching brief at land east of Flockrake Noddle, Broxa Forest, North Yorkshire on 11th-12th April 2022. Under the management of a local construction sub-contractor, groundworks were undertaken involving topsoil stripping, clearance, demarcation of the road and turning point footprint before the excavation of the 75m road. The area of works was within the historical core and conservation area of Broxa Forest. As such, an archaeological watching brief was advised for any ground disturbance works associated with the construction of a access road. All works were undertaken according to specifications outlined in a Written Scheme of Investigation provided by DigVentures and the requirements of North York Moors National Park Authority. Monitoring of the groundworks revealed no significant archaeological finds or features. A deposit of road construction layers were observed containing no finds of a modern in a smaller area of site, this represented the modern tarmac road. The site yielded a common stratigraphic sequence of topsoil, subsoil and the natural horizon was encountered at a maximum depth of 0.40m. Two finds, a modern metal water bottle and one beer glass was present in the topsoil. All of which are considered to be post-medieval or modern in date. No archaeological features were identified linked to the prehistoric Bronze Age landscape. The absence of any significant archaeological features may be because of the limited extent of the excavations themselves. No evidence of the medieval village or associated activity was encountered, although due to the limited extent of the excavations it does not discount the possibility that features associated with the medieval occupation are located in the area. Subject to approval by Forestry England (FE) and the North York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNPA), no further works are recommended.
