Abstract:		 In October 2008 carried out an archaeological watching brief at The Best Western Beaumont Hotel, Hexham, Northumberland (NY935639). The work followed a planning application for the construction of a new extension to the Beaumont Hotel, which affected an area considered to have a high archaeological potential. The hotel is located within the historic core of Hexham, at a location which was once within the grounds of Hexham Abbey. The potential therefore existed for sensitive archaeological remains to be revealed by the proposed groundworks at the site. The watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of the foundation trenches as well as the deep piling. This clearly indicated that in the southern half of the site the modern surface lay on the natural sand substrate (which was excavated to a depth of 2m without change) while the northern extent of the site revealed modern overburden and makeup at least 1.4m in depth with no sign of the natural substrate. Due to the lack of archaeological presence within the area excavated so far, it is considered that no further archaeological monitoring is required within the current scheme of works, unless excavation to a greater depth than has already been tested is required.
