Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment and geophysical survey was carried out on land off Hallmoor Court, Wetheral, which is historically dominated by the medieval Priory. The priory was established c1100, but Wetheral is earlier recorded as being on the boundary of the diocese of Hexham, which did not exist after the 9th century. There are early references to a group of artificial caves known as Constantine's Cells and a holy well dedicated to St Cuthbert and a group of Roman inscriptions near these caves indicate a Roman, probably military, presence in the area, which is in the hinterland of Hadrian's Wall and the important Roman city of Carlisle. However, the village saw relatively little development until the post-medieval period after the coming of the Newcastle-Carlisle railway. There are few constraints to further archaeological work and no obvious areas of disturbance within the area, although a small part of it was covered with spoil from the adjoining development site. The geophysical survey revealed areas of magnetic disturbance, probably resulting from modern activity around the edges of the site, and a negative linear anomaly corresponding to the former field boundary evident as an earthwork across part of the site. A smaller north/south orientated linear feature ran from this, to the south, and a further larger north/south anomaly was present in the east part of the site. This, and a scatter of smaller anomalies across the site, did not relate to any known feature within the site and could therefore be of archaeological significance.
