Series: Archaeological Services University of Durham unpublished report series

This report presents the results of a watching brief conducted during the development at 1 High Street, Aldborough, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. The site comprised a single building plot, on the site of an existing house. The development had the potential to expose archaeological features relating to Aldborough Roman Town.

Photographic survey of a 20th-century house

Level 2 survey of an 1865 house on the site of Stockton Castle. It is the sole survivor of a row of four similar buildings, perhaps erected a speculative development. It was extended in the 1870s for a surgeon and remained in use as a surgery into the 21st century.

This report presents the results of geophysical surveys conducted in advance of proposed development of a motorway service area on land to the northeast of Junction 46 on the A1(M) at Wetherby.

The project is a programme of geophysical survey of land adjacent to the A1(T) between Dishforth and Barton in North Yorkshire, as part of a larger Stage 3 evaluation in advance of proposed motorway up-grade. Geomagnetic surveys were conducted over 84 areas and electrical resistance surveys were conducted over two areas. Probable archaeological remains were detected in 71 of these areas.

Six geomagnetic surveys were conducted to the north and south of Healam Beck on the eastern side of the A1(T). The surveys comprised the fifth programme of survey on land adjacent the A1(T) between Dishforth and Barton. An additional 132 surveys (232ha) were undertaken during earlier programmes between 2005 and 2007. The 6 surveys in this programme of work detected two possible soil filled features, a pit and several probable ditch features, which could possibly be parts of enclosures or small ring-ditches. Features detected east of Healam Bridge Roman fort and vicus could be associated with the vicus or may belong to an earlier or later phase of activity. Traces of former ridge and furrow cultivation were also detected.
