Abstract:		 Rural and Urban Planning Consultants, on behalf of Richard Roberts, submitted a planning application (reference B38/47: 4160) for the expansion of the Elmbank Caravan Park, Cow Road, Spittal, Northumberland (NGR NU 0055 5101). Following the results of an archaeological appraisal and a trial-trench evaluation undertaken at the site in 2008, Northumberland County Council Conservation Team (NCCCT) issued a brief for a programme of archaeological investigation to be undertaken in association with the development. These works were to comprise the maintenance of an archaeological watching brief during all ground disturbance, in order to record adequately any archaeological remains that might be revealed or disturbed by the development. OA North was commissioned by Rural and Urban Planning Consultants, on behalf of Richard Roberts, to undertake the watching brief between 12th and 28th September 2011. During the watching brief, some 23 pits with coal-rich fills were revealed within the south-eastern part of the site. The recovery of a single rim fragment from 19th century ceramic bottle and the observation of carpet fabric within one of the pits suggested that they dated to the 19th or 20th century. However, their function remains somewhat obscure and, although they may relate to nearby mining activity, they appear to derive from ad hoc disposal of coal-rich waste. A Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scraper recovered from one from of the pits was likely to have been residual, but did indicate that the site had witnessed some form of Prehistoric activity.
