Clapham Cluster Waste Water Treatment Works Pipeline, North Yorkshire: Strip and Record Investigation and Archaeological Watching Brief

United Utilities proposed the construction of a waste water pipeline in the Clapham area of North Yorkshire (SD 7270 6970 – SD 7640 6720 and SD 7420 6870 – SD 7360 6760). Following the recommendations outlined in the Desk-based Assessment, Walkover and Topographic Surveys (OA North 2009), and in consultation with the North Yorkshire County Council Heritage and Environment Section, sections of the pipeline easement were subject to a strip and record investigation. This was targeted on Sites 41, 49, 52 and 54 (OA North 2009). In addition, a watching brief was maintained for all areas of undisturbed ground along the easement. The fieldwork was completed in May and June of 2009.
