Abstract:		 This report constitutes a desk-based cultural heritage assessment of a proposed development on the site of Fawdington Garage, Stagshaw Bank in southern Northumberland. The findings of the assessment conclude that there is a high potential for Roman archaeological remains to be present on the site given its location upon the Hadrian's Wall Corridor. In particular, the proximity of the site to the Roman gate through the Wall (Port Gate) is of high significance, and it is possible that the site may contain activity associated with this feature. Hadrian's Wall itself runs beneath the northern part of the site, where its level of preservation is uncertain. The line of the Vallum runs across the southern part of the site, which appears to have remained substantially undeveloped throughout cartographic history. The Military Way Roman Road may have traversed the area in between, now occupied by the Fawdington Garage buildings. During the Middle Ages the focus of settlement in the area lay at Portgate Farm to the WSW, then site of a small rural village community, recorded from the 13th century onwards. Aerial photographs show traces of ridge and furrow cultivation in the fields surrounding the site, and suggest it formed part of the arable fields of Portgate township during the medieval and early modern eras. The assessment recommends to evaluate the potential survival of the cultural heritage resource at the Fawdington Garage site. A strategy including targeted evaluation by trial trenching should be implemented to test for the presence and location of surviving sub-surface remains in those areas likely to be impacted by the works. This will inform an effective mitigation strategy for the future development phase.
