Abstract:		 Rural Solutions, on behalf of Richard Roberts, have submitted a planning application (reference B38/47: 4160) for the expansion of the Elmbank Caravan Park, Cow Road, Spittal, Northumberland (NGR NU 0055 5101). The planning application covers two fields with a total area of 4.2ha, although only the central 1.7ha will be developed under current proposals. An appraisal of the site, organised by OA North in January 2008, identified putative archaeological features through aerial photograph analysis and geophysical survey, several of which could have been affected by the proposed development. Accordingly, Northumberland County Council Conservation Team (NCCCT) issued a brief for a programme of archaeological investigation to be undertaken in advance of the development, in order to further inform the planning process. Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Rural Solutions on behalf of Richard Roberts to undertake an archaeological evaluation meet he standards of the NCCCT brief, which was conducted in July 2008. The evaluation, comprising the excavation of seven trial trenches of various dimensions, principally focused on those putative features identified during the previous appraisal, including several curvilinear features, possible boundary ditches, and areas of potential settlement activity. Three trial trenches represented a control sample to test the veracity of the geophysical results in areas that appeared nominally blank or affected by magnetic interference. The evaluation revealed the presence of 23 archaeological features, most of which had not been identified during the appraisal. Expand Of these, the presence of artefacts indicated that three were modern or late industrial period in date, but the remainder were undated. Any development impacting beyond the lowest horizon of the modern topsoil will have a significant negative effect on these features.
