Abstract:		 This report sets out the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief that was carried out between the 12th and 16th of September 2011, at Church Farm, Folkton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, (TA 0537 7978), 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 archaeological monitored. The archaeological work involved the supervision of the excavation of a series of bird scrapes. The bird scrapes were L-shaped, elongated and sub-circular in shape and designed to form a natural pond like impression. The scrapes were deliberately positioned to avoid any ‘known’ archaeological features or sites. 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.
