Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology (OA) North was commissioned by Vinci Construction UK Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation and watching brief on the 'Grassy Knoll' (also known as the 'pocket park'), the former bus station, and Hunter's Walk, on the south side of Hunter Street, Chester (NGR: SJ 40312 66457), in respect of Phase 1 of the proposed Chester Northgate redevelopment. The area lies within Chester's legally protected Area of Archaeological Importance (AAI), at the heart of the Roman legionary fortress and within the medieval walls. A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) was produced by OA North, which detailed the requirements for the archaeological work. In total, eight evaluation trenches (Trenches E-H and J-L) were to be excavated, to determine the depth, below the modern surface, of the uppermost significant archaeological deposits (the 'archaeological plane'), and to identify any areas where significant archaeology may have been damaged or destroyed. The purpose of this was to determine the potential impact, on significant archaeological remains, of proposed structural features in this area, such as pile caps and lift pits, the trenches being positioned to encompass the proposed locations of as many of these features as was practicable. Eight small test-pits (Trenches i-viii), excavated to assess the condition of wall foundations at the rear of existing buildings fronting Northgate Street, were also monitored by archaeological personnel. The fieldwork was undertaken between 3rd and 16th December 2019.
