Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was agreed as a condition for planning consent for an extension to quarrying at Melton Ross Quarry, North Lincolnshire. The initial stage of this involved a scheme of tree planting and landscaping adjacent to the A180. The site lies just to the north of Yarborough Camp, a probable Iron Age hill-fort. Previous investigations within the proposed extension area had identified remains of prehistoric and Roman date including a large enclosure of apparent prehistoric date to the north. An earlier programme of geophysical survey had also identified several potential features within the investigation area. The archaeological investigations revealed features of probable Iron Age and Roman date including ditches, two large quarry pits and a road or trackway. The pottery finds suggest that the site was occupied from the late Iron Age to the later 2nd century AD with only slight evidence for later activity. The majority of the features on the site are likely to relate to a succession of agrarian activities, with many of the ditches present likely to be field boundaries or livestock enclosures. Two rectilinear ditches may form a small enclosure at the southwest of the site and two large ditches may also form the boundaries of a field or enclosure, being parallel and approximately 60m apart. A metalled trackway discovered running southeast-northwest within a wide hollow allows better interpretation of earlier geophysical survey results and may link to known late Iron Age and Roman sites within the vicinity.
