Abstract:		 In April 2007, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological works to assess the potential of land at Battle Hill, Hexham, Northumberland (NGR NY 9361 6395). The strong possibility of surviving archaeological remains prompted the NCCCT to advise that an archaeological field evaluation of the site would be undertaken prior to the development, covering 5% of the development area. However, the planning application has since been turned down, before the completion of the Stage 2 evaluation works. This document therefore represents an interim report on the desk-based assessment results. The results of the research has shown that the development site remained as a backplot for the properties fronting Battle Hill and St Mary''s Chare until a series of small workshops and outbuildings were constructed. These buildings date to between 1844 and 1860. At some time between 1860 and 1897, these buildings were replaced by an L-shaped building, and this survived at least until 1920. Much of the eastern part of the development site remained clear of buildings throughout this period. The probability therefore is that areas of undisturbed medieval or post medieval archaeology may survive in this area. In addition, traces of the mid-19th century outbuildings, or of the later 19th century L-shaped building may survive sub-surface. Recent archaeological works in the area have shown archaeological features to survive in the area. As no further works are currently proposed, this report represents the final statement as regards the potential for the site. The desk-based assessment has demonstrated the likely survival of medieval deposits to the rear of the housing on Battle Hill, and therefore should any future development be required, it is advised that the evaluation be carried out prior to any intrusive groundworks.
