Abstract:		 In October 2012 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by the National Trust to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland. Seaton Delaval Hall was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and built between 1718 and 1729 for Admiral George Delaval. It is a Grade I Listed Building (236050) and lies within the Grade II* Registered Seaton Delaval Park (2054). The evaluation was conducted in order to assess the likely impact on archaeological remains of the installation of a new electricity cable within the grounds of the hall. Eight test pits were excavated along the proposed route of the electricity cable; five in the immediate vicinity of the hall; and three in the area of Hall Farm. The test pits excavated in the vicinity of the hall revealed information relating to the mode of construction of the hall's courtyard as well as the amount of landscaping that took place in the vicinity of the hall to give it its current setting. The test pits excavated near the pleasure ground and in Hall Farm have revealed evidence of a building or wall foundation, overlain by a gravel surface within the enclosed area of the ha-ha, as well as possible evidence of ground lowering outside the ha-ha.
