Geophysical Survey (Report no. 841) Webb, A Leeds : Archaeological Services WYAS, 2000, 23pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Archaeological Services WYAS A fluxgate gradiometer survey covering approximately 2.8ha was carried out along part of the proposed route of a water pipeline. The survey was centred around an area in which three circular parchmarks had been identified. Anomalies corresponding to the parch-marked features were identified. Other anomalies were identified although it was unclear whether these were geological or archaeological in origin. Rapid magnetic scanning was also carried out at four other sites where earthworks of unknown origin had been identified. No anomalies of a possible archaeological origin were identified during the scanning.

Archaeological Evaluation Heawood, R Lancaster : Lancaster University Archaeological Unit, 2000, 38pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Lancaster University Archaeological Unit Five trial trenches were excavated following the submission of a planning application for the development of a petrol filling station. Part of the site was included within the Thirsk Conservation Area, and the north-eastern border of the application site lay adjacent to Thirsk Castle, a SAM. Trenches 1 and 2 demonstrated that undated archaeological features were present in the northern part of the site. However, the features identified during this evaluation were protected by at least 0.8m of modern hardcore and accumulated silty sand of unknown date. Trenches 3, 4 and 5 evaluated the footprint of the proposed filling station, taking into consideration those areas already disturbed by fuel tanks or contaminated by fuel spillage. No archaeological remains were identified, and no further archaeological investigation was recommended on this part of the site.

Two sample trenches were investigated which provided data about previous ground surfaces. 19th and 20th century finds were located in the topsoil while an un-excavated layer was discovered at the bottom of the trial trenches. This layer was thought to be possibly 17th century but was not investigated further as it was thought that it was deep enough to be preserved in situ.
