Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring was carried out between April-August, 2017 for Northern Powergrid at Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland, along a trench excavated for the provision of a new electricity cable, beginning at the Three Tuns Inn and running westwards along Hexham Road. The watching brief follows an archaeological evaluation at the east end of the site in April 2017, where a trench was excavated across the Military Road, located over the line of Hadrian's Wall. The watching brief area, located immediately south of the evaluation site, runs across the site of the Vallum - the large Roman ditch flanking Hadrian's Wall and part of the defensive frontier complex. Given the potential archaeological sensitivity of the site, specifically the possibility of discovering preserved sub-surface features associated with the Hadrian's Wall frontier, a programme of archaeological monitoring during the trenching was requested by the Hadrian's Wall Archaeologist for Historic England and the Northumberland Assistant County Archaeologist, in order to determine the character, nature, date, depth, and degree of survival of archaeological deposits there. The results of archaeological watching brief concluded that no pre-modern remains were observed or impacted upon by cable trenching at the site; specifically, no remains of Roman origin were reported. The excavations encountered modern made ground, comprising the surface and sub-base of the modern road and pavement, as well as modern services. The only area of limited archaeological interest recorded, was a possible construction cut and area of disturbance, measuring approximately 18 m in length, observed immediately west of the Three Tuns Inn carpark entrance. This has been interpreted as the robbed-out remains of an early-19th century terrace visible on the 1st Edition OS map c.1859. No further archaeological interventions are recommended with respect to the current services works along Hexham Road.
