Abstract:		 An archaeological monitoring and recording exercise was conducted in association with an electricity supply overhead line (OHL) refurbishment in the grounds of Rokeby Park, near Barnard Castle, County Durham. The site lies at central National Grid Reference NZ 0840 1442, towards the northern side of a sloping field located to the north-west of Dairy Bridge, overlooking Mortham Lane. This field is located to the north of Rokeby Hall, and is bounded by Mortham Lane to the north and the River Greta to the east. The north-eastern part of this field is a Scheduled Ancient Monument comprising the earthworks and buried remains of the medieval St. Michael's Church and its associated graveyard. The archaeological work involved monitoring all invasive groundworks for the OHL refurbishment. Groundworks involved mechanical excavation of an open trench to house the OHL pole. The trench lay within the scheduled area to the west of the upstanding earthwork remains of the church. The trench measured c.2m in length, c.1m in width and was excavated to a depth of c. 1.5m. The investigation recorded geological deposits as well as undated archaeological remains which may be of medieval origin. These comprised two layers, the lower possibly representing an occupation deposit and the upper the demolition of the former medieval church of St. Michael.
