Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation consisting of four 20m x 2m trenches was undertaken on the site of the former Castle Hills Community College in Gainsborough, in order to inform planning for the construction of a new primary school. The site lies on the periphery of Gainsborough, with historic mapping indicating it remained farmland prior to the construction of the college in the 1960's, however it lies less than 500m from the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Castle Hill, a Norman motte and bailey ringwork castle dating from the late 1th century. The site was landscaped to facilitate the construction of the school, removing all traces of the ridge and furrow earthworks which previously occupied the site. It was considered possible that features relating to the Norman castle, medieval agriculture or other activities may survive beneath the now demolished college. The evaluation encountered only a single cut feature in the southwest of the site in trench one, however this feature is unlikely to be of archaeological interest as it cuts the topsoil. Deposits throughout the site contained finds dating from the post-medieval period. Evidence of the former Castle Hills Community College was also present in deposits to the north and east of the site. Despite the lack of archaeological features several clay pipe fragments and pot sherds were recovered from sealed contexts, which date to the post medieval period
