Abstract:		 Two trenches were excavated by GUARD Archaeology Ltd across the footprint of proposed flats at the corner of Queen Street and Smith's Wynd in Jedburgh. A culvert drain and related construction deposits were recorded along with the remains of a poorly preserved possible surface or putative wall. Furthermore, a brick floor overlying a deep deposit of garden soil was partially visible towards the northern limit of the development. Finds recovered during the evaluation comprised clay pipe stems and green bottle glass. Following on from this trial trench evaluation, GUARD Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological watching brief during topsoil stripping of the entire footprint of the proposed flats at Queen Street. A number of deposits and walls were encountered, which led to a subsequent limited archaeological excavation that revealed the remains of a possible building. This comprised two substantial clay bonded boundary walls along the south-west and south-east sides of the development area, abutted by two narrower clay bonded walls forming a small sub-rectangular structure at the corner of Queen Street and Smith's Wynd. A small culvert was located in the building adjacent to the northern wall of the structure. Sondages excavated through deposits within the building revealed a series of floor surfaces comprising clay and earth horizons, the lower earthen horizon yielding fragments of glazed and unglazed pottery fragments dating from the thirteenth-fifteenth centuries AD. A deep garden soil was recorded outside the building, containing medieval, post-medieval and early modern finds and an early modern midden pit was recorded in the northwest part of the site, while a sequence of two cobbled surfaces was found underlying the tarmac of Smith's Wynd. CFA Archaeology Ltd carried out the final phase of work with the development area. A monitored topsoil strip revealed a possible medieval pit and a possible medieval street surface.
