Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted in May 2021, to mitigate the impact of groundworks associated with the construction of a new metal-framed hay-barn, located to the south of the B6318, in the field located on the east side of the lane from Rudchester Farm. It was situated c.45m to the south-east of Vindobala Roman fort. This location lies within the statutorily protected envelope of Scheduled Monument No 1017533: Rudchester Roman fort, associated settlement and the adjoining Roman Wall and Vallum (Wall mile 13). Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) for the construction of the new barn was granted by the Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) on the advice of Historic England. The watching brief took place during groundworks comprising the excavation of an area measuring 11 m (length NNE-SSW) x 8 m (width ESE-WNW) x 0.30 m (depth) for the base-footing of the new barn. The results of watching brief established that no significant finds of features of any kind were revealed by the excavation, therefore, it was concluded that no significant remains of cultural heritage value were impacted by the works. While little potential remains for the survival of significant remains within this area of the field to the east of Rudchester Farm, it is recommended that, in view of the site's proximity to the scheduled Roman fort and its associated features, any future works in the vicinity should be considered on their own merits with regard to potential archaeological intervention.
