Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) undertook an archaeological evaluation at the behest of Soil Mechanics, acting on behalf of their client the Preston Tithebarn Partnership (PTP), on a site to the east of Preston City Centre, Lancashire (centred on NGR SD 541 294, Fig 1). The work was in advance of a proposed redevelopment for commercial, leisure and residential purposes. An archaeological desk-based assessment produced by OA North in November 2007 indicated that the site was within an area of high potential for medieval and post-medieval archaeology. Twelve test pits were excavated in total across the area. Three of the test pits were excavated as archaeological evaluation trenches: Test Pits (TP) 17 and 18 were situated to target the former Lord Street cotton mill, dating to 1841; and TP 29 was located to target possible handloom weavers' cottages, located to the west of similar houses still upstanding. Both the sites are considered important to Preston's early industrial heritage. Of the 12 test pits excavated, five contained no features or deposits of archaeological interest, TP 2, 3, 4, 15 and 16. They all comprised redeposited material relating to the construction of large modern buildings in the later twentieth century. The remaining seven test pits (TP 6, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18 and 29) contained one or more deposit or feature of archaeological significance. Although the development area has been subject to much disturbance over the years, there is still potential for medieval and post-medieval archaeology to survive below existing structures.
