Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation of a site on the eastern side of North Road, just to the north of the Garner Building (Highgate School), took place in February 2011. The work was carried out as a condition of planning consent prior to the construction of a new building for the use of Highgate School (LB of Haringey Planning Ref: HGY/2010/1889). Three trial trenches were excavated within the redevelopment footprint, covering a total area of c.10 square metres. All three of these trenches contained significant archaeological remains. Very deep 'made-ground' deposits were observed in all three trenches. These clearly show the existence of some deep feature, with the 'made-ground' deposits possibly infilling such a deep feature. It is possible that this may be the infilling of the eastern boundary ditch of the Bishop of London's hunting park. A 17th - 18th Century pit or ditch feature was observed in trench 1. This appeared 'L'-shaped in plan, and was cut through clay and sand deposits. This is therefore evidence for some form of 'backyard-activity' from the 17th Century - acting as evidence for activity (commercial or residential) on the site from before the earliest cartographic evidence (the mid-18th Century. A series of burnt deposits, including burnt bricks, were observed in trench 2. These are probably evidence for a brick clamp - dating from the 16th Century. It could be postulated, furthermore, that this brick clamp was producing bricks for the construction of the original school and chapel. In view of these results it is suggested that further archaeological measures be undertaken in relation to the proposed redevelopment and planning condition.
