Abstract:		 An evaluation, comprising a rapid desk-based appraisal and the excavation of two trial trenches, was carried out at the proposed site of a house. The appraisal identified that the site had probably lain within a defended industrial annex to the Roman fort at Ribchester, and that indications of prehistoric activity had been found in the vicinity. Pope Croft had formerly been known as 'Old Croft', and may have been the site of a farm for some time before the 19th century, perhaps since the medieval period. The first of the two evaluation trenches revealed a Romano-British metalled surface, perhaps representing a road, alley or yard; this was left in situ. The second trench contained a Romano-British deposit, as well as two post-medieval ditches. It was concluded that the site contained well-preserved, stratified Romano-British deposits at a depth of c. 900mm below the present ground surface. It was recommended that the foundations and services of the proposed development should be designed so as not to affect the deposits, if possible. It was noted that if this could not be achieved, some archaeological recording during development might be necessary, which would be determined by the extent of the proposed groundworks. [AIP]
