Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken within the walled gardens of the college. Three trenches were excavated; two of which revealed only natural deposits and features associated with the garden. The third trench revealed a ditch, which in profile appeared to be of Roman military type but contained few diagnostic finds. The ditch consisted of a steep-sided V-shaped cut running north/south, with a slight change in gradient towards the base, where it steepened. The fills appeared to represent a short period of use and seem to have been backfilled very quickly. It was hypothesised that the ditch was of Roman-military origin and therefore likely to have predated the Hadrian's Wall fort at Stanwix. It may have been part of a temporary installation, although its date could not be ascertained. It was therefore recommended that further evaluation trenching be undertaken to examine the area to the south of the third trench once the temporary buildings have been removed in order to assess the line and character of the ditch and investigate the area to the west of the ditch.
