Abstract:		 The project consisted of the monitoring of targeted investigatory excavations and trial pits, followed by intemittent monitoring of groundworks associated with the car park's drainage and water attenuation system. Encountered remains were investigated by hand where safe and appropriate, and recorded by photographic record as a matter of course and additionally drawn record where appropriate. In keeping with the guidance in the Written Scheme of Investigation for the project, some encountered remains were recorded by photograph only. Archaeological monitoring at Goose Hill, Morpeth revealed a handful of in situ structures associated with Morpeth County Gaol, including a culvert, elements of the north men's cell block and boundary and yard walls. These observations confirmed the positioning of structures and possibly provide useful information as to the construction of the gaol. However, no useful habitation layers or sealed deposits were encountered. A thin deposit of likely medieval soil included fuel waste and typical crops of the period. This layer showed evidence of small scale smithing activities. This layer is likely to reflect yard activity and light industry along the frontage of medieval Goose Hill.
