Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out at land on the site of a residential development at North End, Burgh-by-Sands. The previous desk-based assessment (Suddaby 2009) indicated that the site lies to the north of Hadrian's Wall and to the west of Aballava Roman Fort. A number of features were excavated and recorded. Eight pits of varying sizes and an L-shaped ditch were identified during the watching brief. These were sample excavated but the lack of finds means it is impossible to be definite about their date or function. However, the possibility remains that these features are Roman in date. None of the features appeared to be robust enough to be associated with a military function and are far more likely to be associated with agricultural activity. The results of the watching brief place these remains to the front of Hadrian's Wall. However, there is evidence to the east of the fort (Aballava) that the line was moved northwards (Breeze 2006). No evidence survives to suggest this is the case to the west of the fort. Indeed evidence to the west of the proposed development site indicates that the later Wall was built directly over the earlier Wall (Austen 1994). It is therefore unlikely that this area ever lay behind the Wall. The close spacing of the pit and ditch features is similar to those recorded at Lamonby Farm (Suddaby and Glendinning 2007), which were all on a similar but slightly divergent alignment to the proposed alignment of the Wall, although many more finds were recovered at Lamonby Farm.
