Abstract:		 An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out during groundworks at the former St. Giles's and St. George's School, Barracks Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The Watching Brief was implemented because of the potential for archaeological remains on the site. The work was carried out by L - P : Archaeology. No finds or features for the Prehistoric to Roman periods have been recorded on site or within the search area. Newcastle-under-Lyme was not mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and the township, conducive to its name, seems to have formed in association with the construction of a motte and bailey castle in the mid 12th century. Whether the site lay in the suburbs of the Medieval town or on former marshland remains uncertain but map regression, as available from 1692, suggests the latter until the building of the school in 1895. The objectives of the Watching Brief were to determine the presence or absence of archaeological remains and to record the character, date, location and preservation of any remains. No archaeological features or finds were recorded during the groundworks. The strata of the site is a series of natural deposits which were truncated by the construction of the school and then sealed by the rubble from the school's demolition.
