Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Preston City Council proposed the construction of an Adizone (a recreational area) in Ashton Park, Lancashire, Lancashire (SD 51250 30450). The provision of rapid desk-based research, archaeological survey and watching brief was a condition of planning permission and a verbal brief for recording the landscape was provided by Doug Moir of Lancashire County Council Archaeology Section. Subsequently, Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) were commissioned to undertake the programme of investigation. A topographical survey took place during on 30th July 2010 followed by a watching brief during groundworks undertaken between 9th-11th August 2010. The topographic survey has achieved the preservation by record of a relict landscape comprising post-medieval agricultural and possible ornamental features as well as more modern structures, within the park. The agricultural sites ranged from four main areas of ridge and furrow cultivation, to a marl pit/pond, water tank and scoop. Other features included a possible ornamental tree mound and relict elements of both a football pitch and aerial mast. A watching brief was undertaken during the topsoil strip for the construction of the Adizone, but revealed no significant archaeological features or deposits. As a mitigative record of the surface remains has been undertaken and a watching brief maintained during the topsoil strip, no further archaeological works are recommended.
