Abstract:		 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by St Oswald's Primary School to undertake an archaeological earthwork survey to record the landscape features within the site boundary, and a watching brief to monitor and record the excavation of a haul road, compound and storage areas, drainage ditches, ground reduction for the construction of a path and a series of augur holes. Only the ground works associated with the construction of the haul road, compound and storage areas and drainage ditches were monitored and, any ground works carried out after this were completed without informing Archaeological Research Services Ltd, and therefore without any archaeological supervision. The earthwork survey produced evidence of previous land use on the site in the form of ridge and furrow plough scars, as well as identifying potential archaeological features and accurately plotting the position of earthworks documented in the previous desk based assessment The watching brief identified drainage gulley's and plough furrows, both evidence of the sites previous agricultural use, and a rubble deposit. No remains of a building that was postulated to have been located on a levelled area, or platform were identified during the watching brief. This levelled area was most likely formed during the construction of the school, and most likely post-dates the ridge and furrow on site, given the lack of any within the area of the levelled platform. The rubble deposit comprised hardcore and broken building material, used to form the makeup and bedding for part of the former pathway that was orientated on a south-east to north-west direction through the field. The watching brief succeeded to the extent of monitoring that no heritage assets were damaged or remained unrecorded during the groundworks and the archaeological evidence identified successfully contributes to Research Objective 7E of the East Midlands Updated Research Framework.
