Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken for CgMs Consulting on behalf of Mouchel Parkman at two locations at Sideway, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Site A - NGR SO 387500 343500 and Site B - NGR SO 387500 342500; SOT30270). Site A revealed the remains at foundation level of the farm buildings at Sideway Farm. The earliest structures seemed to be external walls dating between 1740-1780, with later additions, both internal and external to the buildings, dating to the 19th and 20th centuries. These forms of farm buildings are rare within the Stoke-on-Trent city boundary. Site B was a larger scale of evaluation comprising 25 trenches machined throughout a single, large field. Visual survey and aerial photography had established the presence of a raised platform area in the western part of the field. This was considered to have the potential to be medieval in date. The trenches revealed features relating to the field's use in an agricultural context during the post-medieval period, though none were medieval. The trenches also revealed field boundaries which had been changed in the modern era. The northern side of the field revealed the former course of the Chitlings Brook which presently forms the northern boundary of the field. Samples were taken from this palaoechannel, which revealed that the surrounding area was probably deliberately cultivated for rye grass used for animal fodder. The remnants of food items were probably carried down from upstream settlement. There were no significant archaeological deposits at Site B, indicating its history of agricultural usage away from the settlement of Hanford half a kilometre to the west.
