Abstract:		 A watching brief of a development to the west of Scotch Corner Hotel revealed evidence for a previously unknown settlement of early Romano-British date. Two curvilinear foundation slots, boundary ditches of two rectilinear enclosures and several other associated features were sample excavated and recorded. Although small in size the pottery assemblage was of a high quality and mostly of 1st century AD date. From the pottery evidence the date for the origin and abandonment of the settlement remains uncertain but it seems likely that the occupation of the site was well established during the Flavian period. Environmental analysis indicated that the majority of the cereal grains consisted of barley and the high ratio of chaff to grains pointed to the processing of locally grown crops on the site. Spelt and bread wheat were also present. Parallels for Scotch Corner are drawn from other settlement sites in the area, including Melsonby and Rock Castle, and its relationship with the major site of Stanwick is examined. [Au]
