Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wardell Armstrong Archaeology was commissioned by Laura Sole, Sill Project Co-ordinator for the provision of archaeological services for Northumberland National Park Authority (NNPA) and the Youth Hostel Association (YHA), to undertake archaeological evaluation at land adjacent to the Once Brewed Youth Hostel and National Park Centre, Northumberland. The work is needed to support a planning application for the construction of a Landscape Discovery Centre. The work is required as the site lies within an area of high archaeological significance; within the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site (Hadrian's Wall) and adjacent to a number of listed buildings and Scheduled Ancient Monuments. At the north of the site boundary are the remains of the vallum (SAM 26063) associated with the composite defences of Hadrian's Wall. Two Roman marching or temporary camps (SAM 26017 and 26008) are located to the south and south-west. The first of two phases of archaeological evaluation (Phase 1) was undertaken over three days between the 5th and 7th November 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of five trenches. Trenches 1 to 3 confirmed the southern limit of the southern bank of the Vallum associated with the defensive line Hadrian's Wall. A probable early 2nd century palaeosoil horizon was sealed by the construction of an early bank of stacked turf which seemed to form the earliest phase of the construction of the Vallum bank. The second phase of archaeological evaluation (Phase 2) was undertaken over four consecutive days between the 14th April and the 17th April 2014, and involved the excavation of 14 trenches within a field immediately south of the visitors centre and youth hostel. No finds, features or deposits of archaeological significance were revealed during Phase 2 of the archaeological investigation.
