Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out and three trenches and two junction boxes were excavated. In the north-eastern corner of the box excavated at the junction of trenches one and two, a shallow feature cut into the natural clay. It was suggested that the feature represented a cut for the placement of entanglements or obstacles on the berm north of Hadrian's Wall. This kind of feature had been recorded to the north of the wall, previously at Buddle Street, Wallsend, Shields Road, Byker and Hexham Road, Throckley. If this interpretation was applied, the depth of the feature would indicate that considerable horizontal truncation of deposits in the area had occurred. If this was the case, it would also account for the fact that the feature was recorded in isolation, where a series of pits on the alignment of the wall would normally be expected on the berm. A feature was also recorded in trench one from which a number of fragments of human bone were recovered. These were possibly associated with the burial ground of the hospital of St. Mary in Westgate, which had a 12th century foundation. These might have been redeposited as the area was investigated in 1890 when a medieval cross slab grave cover was recorded to the east of the service trench. [Au(adp)]
