Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site at Maltkiln Village, Cattal Station, North Yorkshire by Cotswold Archaeology in September 2019. The evaluation comprised the excavation of 43 trenches The results of the evaluation broadly confirmed the results of a previous geophysical survey identifying possible archaeological remains concentrated in the central and western areas of the site. The dateable features can be attributed to one of four main periods comprising Late Iron Age, Late Iron Age/ Roman, Late Roman and medieval/ post-medieval. The pottery assemblage indicates that activity began in the Late Iron Age. The settlement activity appears to have been focused around a possible roundhouse, positioned broadly centrally within a pentagonal enclosure, which revealed evidence for crop processing and storage. Late Iron Age/ Early Roman activity was identified as a dense concentration of features forming rectangular enclosures in the western part of the site. The features recorded in this area also revealed further evidence for crop processing. The limited dating evidence suggests that there was a hiatus in activity at the end of the 2nd century, with activity appearing to have resumed in the late 3rd century with possible utilisation of the earlier enclosures along with the construction of new enclosures. The pottery assemblage and environmental remains indicate a low status settlement where activity was focused on crop production and processing; possibly a marginal area brought into use at peak periods of demand for land resources. The Iron Age phase of settlement contained no Roman pottery indicating it was devoid of Roman input until the Late Roman settlement, where a small assemblage of fine wares was recovered. Medieval/ post-medieval furrows were recorded on site.
