Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in July-August 2015 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land near Thornhope Farm, Slaggyford, Northumberland. The work was commissioned by Northern Powergrid ahead of an underground fibre-optic cable installation. The route of the cable trench crossed the line of the Maiden Way Roman road close to the old Alston branch railway line. The Maiden Way was a Roman Road between the Brough/Penrith road at Kirby Thore, and Carvoran Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall. The line of the Roman Road could still be observed running north-west/south-east across the field and was visible as a raised agger. During the work the Maiden Way was uncovered and was visible as a metalled surface overlying a raised agger. The road ran on roughly the same alignment as shown on the OS map (north-north-west/south-south-east). A sherd of post-medieval pot was recovered from the road surface. This was likely more evident of the prolonged use of the road into the post-medieval period rather than being dating material from its construction. Two ditches were also observed; the first ran on the same alignment as the metalled road (most likely a drainage ditch), and the other ran on a north-east/south-west alignment. No dating material was recovered from the ditches.
