Abstract:		 The principal aim of the archaeological evaluation on land east of Walltown Lodge was to inform a determination by the NNPA’s planning department by establishing the presence and character of any archaeological remains surviving on the site. This was to be achieved through 80 m² of evaluation trenching, a figure agreed with the NNPA and HE. To achieve this, a single L-shaped evaluation trench was planned in central area of the plot. Each arm of the trench was to measure 20 m in length and 2 m wide. Excavation was to reach either down to the first archaeologically significant level, or to the natural subsoil if it was found practical and safe to do so. The trench was able to be excavated in its proposed location, as the conditions of site allowed for this. All excavation was carried out using a 9 tonne 360° mechanical excavator with a toothless ditching bucket. All further archaeological investigation was carried out by hand. No archaeological features were observed during excavation of trench. A fragment of probable Roman CBM and an abraded Roman pottery sherd were recovered from the topsoil. Noted during the project were multiple modern drainage runs coursing in the same west-north-west to east-south-east direction, possibly related to field drainage or to overflow drainage from the waste water tank belonging to Walltown Lodge in the western part of the parcel of land. These were filled with fine gravel and redeposited clay. Aside from the topsoil finds from the north-south arm of the trench, no finds, features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during the project.
