Abstract: |
This report sets out the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief that was carried out on the 1st and 2nd of December 2011, at Manor Farm, Flotmanby Lane, Muston, Filey, North Yorkshire, (TA 0801 7988) which involved monitoring the works associated with the creation of a series of “scrapes” – shallow depressions in which standing water would accumulate seasonally to provide nesting habitats for varying species of wader birds. The Watching Brief was undertaken as part of the Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project. Due to the archaeological significance of the Vale of Pickering landscape and the organic preservation offered by rich peat deposits, North Yorkshire County Council ruled that all scrapes should be archaeologically monitored. The archaeological work involved the supervision of the excavation of a series of bird scrapes. The bird scrapes were linear, circular and rectangular in shape and designed to form a natural pond like impression. The scrapes were deliberately positioned to avoid any ‘known’ archaeological features or sites and methodically placed following the success of two scrapes undertaken in previous years. The new scrape within the west field was an extension of previous scrape No. 17 undertaken during the watching brief in 2010. Whereas the three scrapes within the east field surrounded a previous scrape undertaken at the start of 2010. The bird scrapes were created with the use of a tracked 3600 mechanical excavator operating under close archaeological supervision. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were encountered during the Watching Brief. |
