Abstract:		 A watching brief associated with a new potable water pipeline running approximately 200m from the south-east of Hawkswick (SD 958 704) Littondale, terminating on the eastern side of Throstles Nest Barn (SD 979 695) on the minor road between Conistone and Kettlewell, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The pipeline was directionally drilled via small launch and reception pits in the middle of the road from Hawkswick eastwards for approximately 1150m. Hence the groundworks in this section of the development avoided the Scheduled Monument, and minimised any impact upon other archaeological remains. The remainder of the route was completed with a combination of open-cut trenching and directional drilling. A total of five quarry scoops were encountered during the archaeological monitoring but only one of these appeared on historic mapping of the area. None of these features were marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey (OS) map of 1856, although one is marked as a ‘gravel pit’ on the 1894 OS map. A possible lead smelting bale was recorded during archaeological monitoring associated with a new potable water pipeline at Hawkswick, Littondale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The visible remains of the bale comprised a low L-shaped earthwork mound measuring approximately 5m long by a maximum of 2.5m wide by up to 0.5m high. It was located at the foot of High Wind Bank (SD 9705 6933), approximately 2m to the north-east of the modern road. Upon excavation of the pipe trench the mound was found to be composed of a mid-grey brown gritty silt containing lumps of lead-smelting slag. The pipeline route avoided the majority of the mound which, based on the small area exposed within the pipeline easement and the assessment of the slag by Dr Simon Timberlake, may represent a slag mound from an early lead-smelting site. Charcoal fragments extracted from within the slag produced a date range of calAD 1298 to calAD 1420.
