Abstract:		 An archaeological assessment was conducted in advance of a proposed development. There was some evidence for Anglo-Saxon occupation in the vicinity of the proposed development site, including the speculative possibility of the defences of a Saxon 'burgh' traversing the site. An early focus of settlement was centred on nearby Bondgate. The boundary between Bondgate and the Borough of Darlington probably ran through the site. Part of the site was known to have been cultivated as a market garden in the 19th century. The area was extensively developed in the 19th century, with the construction of new roads and buildings. The site was cleared and levelled in modern times, with the Darlington Inner Ring Road built on the northern edge of the site, and new commercial buildings erected to the south and east. There was the possibility that archaeological deposits existed, relating to the early occupation of the town, its subsequent development and the relationship between the Borough and Bondgate. The groundwork investigations previously undertaken suggested varying depths of made ground across the area, along with the remains of in situ 19th century buildings. It was not known to what extent the 19th century development and modern clearance had disturbed deposits. It was therefore recommended that a programme of targeted trial trenching in the locations specified in this assessment be undertaken to assess the nature and survival of archaeological deposits.
