Abstract:		 The forth phase in a process of archaeological evaluation trenching was conducted in September 2012 ahead of a housing development on land at Racecourse Estate, Hall Lane, Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland (centred on Grid Reference NZ 34547 49478), located on the east side of Houghton-le-Spring. The evaluation trench investigated a triangular green area of land at the south end of the development site, immediately north of Queensway, east of Hall Lane and south of Normandy Crescent. The single phase 4 evaluation trench was aligned east-west, and measured 11.70 metres (length) x 1.50 metres (width) x 0.35m (maximum depth). The evaluation trench revealed a disturbed mix of shallow industrial deposits (02) beneath the topsoil, associated with waste from the coal industry. The coal waste sat directly upon the natural sandy-clay (03). No archaeological remains were observed within the trench. The evaluation concluded that any archaeological remains formerly existing within the trench are likely to have been removed by truncation, either from activities associated with the local coal industry or perhaps during c.20th construction and landscaping associated with the recently demolished buildings on the site. Due to the negative results of this evaluation, no further work is recommended as part of this scheme, although any future works in the immediate vicinity should be considered on their own merits with respect to the need for archaeological intervention.
