Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out ahead of proposed development of sheltered apartments for the elderly at a former swimming pool and associated land at Gilesgate, Hexham, Northumberland, by Headland Archaeology between 14 and 16 October 2013. The evaluation was undertaken in order to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the Development Area. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of McCarthy and Stone Retirement Lifestyles Ltd. A total of three trenches were excavated. A trench in the car park on the Gilesgate frontage established that the area had been subject to terracing in the 20th century, and had been cleared down to the surface of geological deposits. A post-medieval wall foundation and possible cellar to the north survived below the level of geological deposits. A hand-excavated test pit to the rear of the swimming pool did not extend below deposits of loam containing modern artefacts. A trench excavated adjacent to Haugh Lane encountered modern topsoil, over a possible colluvial deposit and reached underlying geological deposits. No medieval deposits or features were encountered and the investigation resulted in a better understanding of the stratigraphy of the site.
