Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Christopher Gilder of Electricity North West to undertake a Rapid Desk-based Assessment and archaeological evaluation prior to groundworks associated with three new electricity pole locations and associated staywires. As a consequence of the importance of this site, it was agreed that following the evaluation, a watching brief would be maintained for the duration of the groundworks. The area of Hadrian's Wall and the vallum between Baron's Dyke and Birky Lane, Walby, in Wall Miles 60, 61 and 62, is a Scheduled Monument which survives as a buried feature throughout this section (NHL 1010979). In addition to the Wall and the vallum, aerial photography identified the site of two overlying temporary camps to the south of Wallhead, Moss Side 1 and 2 (NHL 1010957). The rarity of temporary camps identifies these features as nationally important. The silted ditches of the buried features within this area are likely to contain environmental evidence which will allow the character of the surrounding environment to be reconstructed for the Roman period. A period of trial trenching commenced on 23/6/2014 lasting 2 days and comprised of 3 2 x 1 metre pits. These pits were located within a metre of the standing pylons and were excavated to the natural substrate. No archaeological remains were found within the pits.
