Abstract:		 A study was made of Sunderland Town Moor via documentary sources. In the Middle Ages, the moor was an extensive tract of pasture which ran east and south to the river and the sea from the end of the main street of Sunderland. Much of the eastern part of the Moor was eroded by the sea, only to be reclaimed and redeveloped in the 19th century when the south docks were constructed. The report concluded that archaeological potential lay in the possibility that prehistoric implements might be present, and that Roman remains might have survived in the area. Industrial archaeological remains of lime-burning, rope-making, docks and railways were to be considered. The medieval period was not likely to reveal major structures in an area which was pasture, but there may have been minor industrial sites near the river, and evidence of medieval agriculture at any point on the whole moor. Non-intrusive survey measures were recommended for a preliminary assessment. [Au(abr)]
