Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Electricity North West to undertake a rapid desk based assessment and archaeological evaluation at Riggside, Banks, Brampton, Cumbria (CA8 2JH, NY 56976 64562), associated with the relocation of pole and stay 273208. The work was required at the request of Mike Collins, Hadrian's Wall Officer for English Heritage as the site lies within the area of the Scheduled Ancient Monument, Hadrian's Wall Turret 52B, Burtholme (SMR 315) and the vallum.The evaluation was undertaken on the 17th October 2016 and comprised the excavation of two test pits, located at the base of the existing electricity pole and where the existing stay enters the ground. The test pits were excavated through an east to west aligned earthen mound in order to investigate the feature, which had the potential to have some association with the Hadrian's Wall frontier system. Both test pits measured 1m2 and were excavated to the level of the natural substrate at a depth of 1m. Each of the deposits making up the mound, as well as the buried soil below the mound, produced find of 19th to 20th century date, proving that the feature was constructed relatively recently. It is possible that this occurred during a programme of landscaping within the rear garden of the property of Riggside. Of some significance was the recovery of a small assemblage of medieval pottery, although all of the sherds were residual. This, together with the recovery of further medieval finds from the garden soil of Riggside (Mrs Wilkinson pers. comm.), suggests that medieval activity may have taken place within the immediate vicinity. No finds or features associated with the Hadrian's Wall frontier system were observed during the investigation.
