Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which was occupied by a disused car show room and vehicle repair shop. Masonry forming part of one of the garage buildings had been identified as part of the medieval town wall, and was a SAM. A rapid photographic survey of the wall was undertaken. Desk-based assessment identified that despite its position on the Fosse Way, a major Roman road, evidence of medieval settlement in Newark was confined to a small site to the north of the present town centre, where burials and the remains of a kiln had been found. A large Saxon cemetery had been excavated to the south of the town, and early defensive works had been found within the grounds of the castle, including a ditch complex which had contained 5th century pottery. During the evaluation, an early medieval gully and a number of pits of late medieval or post-medieval date were recorded. One rubbish pit contained the articulated skeleton of a pig, as well as bones from other species. It was concluded that the impact of any proposed development at the site was likely to be considerable, as archaeological deposits had survived at a depth of less than 0.4m below the modern surface in places. Documentary evidence suggested that the areas of the frontages to Castlegate and Lombard Street could have considerable archaeological potential. Evidence obtained during the evaluation suggested that the stone-built wall was a medieval boundary rather than part of the town defences. It was noted that investigation of the projected line of the wall could potentially help to resolve the question of its origins. [AIP]
