Abstract:		 An Archaeological Watching Brief was carried out during gas replacement works on land off Bockleton Road, Bockleton. The Watching Brief was implemented because of the potential for archaeological remains on the site. The work was carried out by L - P : Archaeology and this report has been prepared by Rebecca Jones of L - P : Archaeology on behalf of Balfour Beatty. An archaeological and historical background search was conducted and no evidence attesting to the Prehistoric to Roman periods has been recorded. Evidence for the Early Medieval period predominantly comes from place names, with Bockleton recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086, it must have been an established settlement by this time. Map regression depicts the southern extent of the pipeline within open fields, but within the compound area a 'Brick Yard (disused)' and 'old lyme kiln' are shown on the 1886 OS. The brick yard and lime kiln would have been established and gone out of use after 1843 and before 1886, by the 1905 OS Map they are no longer extant. The objectives of the Watching Brief were to record the character, date, type, state of preservation and extent of any archaeological remains on site. To specifically identify any archaeological evidence relating to Medieval settlement and to mitigate against any damage on the archaeological resource. Within the compound the groundworks uncovered the remains of a brick kiln, presumed to be the 'old lyme kiln,' a disused Post Medieval trackway and a brick platform, intepreted as the base for a shed. In the southern extent of the pipeline a single undated linear feature was exposed obliquely in the pipetrench and residual finds were recovered, attesting to the interpretation that the site lay on the peripherals of settlement.
