Abstract:		 Eleven street light columns were to be replaced along Hexham Road, Heddon-on-the-Wall. Archaeological investigation was required at five of the street light columns, 10HK, 12HK, 13HK, 14HK and 15HK, as they lie within the World Heritage Site and Scheduled Monument of Hadrian's Wall and Vallum (SM Refs. 26038, HA Refs. 1010617). New poles within the scheduled area had been erected at 13-15HK, with the trenches excavated to carry out this work partially backfilled, and a trench had been partially excavated for 10HK. The evaluation comprised the archaeological cleaning, extension and assessment of the trenches at 13-15HK to the depth of the previously excavated trenches and the excavation of trenches at 10HK and 12HK under archaeological supervision. The evaluation determined that the work previously carried out in error to replace the street lights had not damaged any archaeological deposits or structures. In the two locations where the trenches for new lights were excavated under archaeological supervision, no significant archaeological remains were encountered. It was not possible to extend the trench previously dug for 14HK due to the number of live services in this area. A new trench was excavated immediately adjacent to the previously excavated trench and the truncated remains of the core of Hadrian's Wall were encountered in the northern part of the trench at a depth of 0.50m below present ground level and a highest level of 125.60m OD. To the south the wall had been cut through by an old service trench and it was through the backfill of this service trench that the excavation for the new pole to the east of evaluation trench 14HK had occurred.
