Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Alpha Environmental to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the removal by machine of contaminated topsoil on land at North Lodge, Hamstead Marshall. The site lies within the boundary of a Scheduled Monument which comprises two conquest period mottes and a bailey with associated features and a watching brief was required by English Heritage to ensure that any revealed archaeological remains would be appropriately investigated and recorded during the course of the decontamination works. The watching brief monitored the removal of contaminated soil within a narrow strip of land which surrounded the foundation pad of the diesel tank and extended northwards down the eastern edge of the drive-way to the public road. This area was machine-excavated to a maximum depth of 0.50m over an area of approximate 35m2. Observations showed that the natural subsoil to the south of the entrance gateway into North Lodge had been truncated by former terracing to landscape the immediate environs of the house. The land to the north of the gateway, which forms the drive-way of the house, had also apparently been stripped of topsoil before hardcore and gravel had been laid to construct the access drive. The excavations did not penetrate below the observed made ground deposits and no archaeological features or deposits were identified.
