Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land to the rear of the Spread Eagle Public House, Gailey Staffordshire. The work was undertaken to fulfil planning conditions attached to the construction of a 38 bed lodge. The archaeological works were deemed necessary by South Staffordshire's archaeological advisor due to the proximity of the site to known Roman activity. The site lies adjacent to Watling Street Roman road as well as in the vicinity of Roman military camps and non-military settlement. A total of four evaluation trenches were excavated within the car park and children's play area located to the north of the public house. The works did not identify any features of archaeological interest. Trenches 1 and 3 were devoid of any cut features. Trench 2 contained a modern machine linear feature, most likely associated with the construction of the children's play area. Trench 4 contained two discrete features within the eastern half of the trench. However, excavation of these features revealed them to be natural in origin, being identified as a tree throw and an ice wedge. The only dating evidence recovered was a single sherd of late 19th to early 20th century glazed pottery from the topsoil. No earlier pottery was identified or any finds of unknown date.
