Abstract:		 An archaeological assessment to accompany a planning application by English Heritage to improve the visitor facilities at Housesteads Roman fort. The assessment identifies cultural heritage constraints within and adjacent to the area of the proposed expanded information centre and the proposed new building on the site of the Dutch barn at Housesteads Farm and makes recommendations regarding the work required to mitigate the impact of the two schemes. The assessment concludes that areas to the north of the museum and areas between the museum and the farm and the south gate of the fort especially are zones of great archaeological sensitivity, while the developments lie in the vicinity of significant surviving monuments. It is considered that the construction of the new building on the site of the Dutch barn will adversely impact upon any buried archaeological features, associated with use of the terrace, which might survive beneath the barn's concrete floorThe visual impact of both proposed developments on the fort and other Roman frontier monuments at Housesteads, will be minimal. The assessment recommends that evaluation is required to determine whether significant archaeological deposits survive within the area of the new construction at the Information Centre. Following demolition, the area of the Dutch Barn should be fully examined. Intrusive path creation should be accompanied by monitoring, while the development should as far as possible utilize existing service infrastructure.
