Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken April-May 2015 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land at Segedunum Museum, Wallsend, North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear. The boulder clay 'drift' geological material (Phase 1) was the basal deposit recorded in each trench and generally comprised stiff to firm brownish yellow and reddish brown clay and clayey sand. In Trench 1 Roman remains were encountered at a depth of c. 0.70m below the present ground level. The earliest encountered deposits of Roman date comprised levelling deposits of probable second-century date laid down prior to the establishment of the defensive ditches. A substantial NW-SE aligned ditch truncating the levelling deposits from which third-century pottery was recovered represents the outermost defensive ditch. In Trench 2 Roman remains were encountered at a depth of c. 0.80m below present ground level. Located in the central portion of the trench was a group of four inter-cutting sub-oval features, truncating the natural sub-stratum, which may represent occupation predating the defensive ditches. The postholes were overlain by a sandy clay deposit which was truncated by a NNE-SSW aligned ditch and ditch re-cut, the fills of which both produced second-century pottery. This may represent a field boundary or drainage feature associated with agricultural activity prior to the excavation of the third outer defensive ditch. At the eastern extent of Trench 2 a further element of the outer defensive ditch was partially exposed; this also produced third-century pottery. Phase 3 comprises post-medieval remains principally associated with the construction of residential terrace buildings. Phase 4 comprises modern activity.
