Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was recommended following a desk-based appraisal of a wider scheme of pipeline renewal works as the route of the pipeline was in close proximity to a number of recorded heritage assets, including a Bronze Age farming landscape and Iron age to Romano-British settlement and field systems. The village of Huggate probably had early medieval origins, and there was a temporary airfield within the vicinity during World War II, so there was the potential to encounter unrecorded archaeological remains of almost any date within the pipeline trench. The pipeline trench extended for a total length of 3km, stretching for 1.7km along York Lane, 1.25km along Pocklington Lane and 175m along Cobdale Lane. Excavations were undertaken partly using a trenching machine attached to a ‘Bobcat’ excavator, and partly using a mini digger, under the supervision of an archaeologist. Due to the equipment utilised, the excavations were to a depth of 1.2m but a width of only 0.15m, making it extremely difficult to determine if any archaeological features existed. Not unexpectedly, none were noted. There were also no pre-modern artefacts, although deposits of modern building materials, apparently from fly-tipping, were recorded within the topsoil. Fragments of metal mesh and a number of angle-iron stakes were found along Pocklington Lane. The stakes ranged in length from 0.6m to 0.9m. It is possible that they were associated with an experimental temporary runway which was constructed on Huggate Wold in WWII, consisting of rolls of wire mesh, which would presumably be pinned down by metal stakes. The temporary runway was removed immediately after the trials were completed, and their find location at the opposite end of the village from the airfield site might throw some doubt on this interpretation. Given this uncertainty, and the unstratified nature of the stakes, they were not retained for further study.
