Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted in March 2019 to evaluate the potential impact of proposed developments, including the construction of an extension to the rear of The Ship Inn, Holy Island Village, Northumberland. Evaluation comprised the excavation of three trenches within the footprint of the proposed development. In Trench 1, a deposit of dark organic-rich silty-loam midden material was revealed. A firmer deposit of mixed silty-clay appeared below the level of proposed new floor running from the northeast corner to the south centre. A sondage revealed this deep deposit to extend, along with surrounding midden material, below the level of the main trench floor. It is unclear what this is or how it formed - perhaps the infill of a drain, latrine trench, pathway, or a foundation deposit for a temporary structure. Abraded medieval pottery was observed on its surface; other finds included shell. This deposit is of medieval origin and likely associated with storage or waste disposal activities. Trench 2, excavated below proposed new-build floor depth, contained no features of note, being cut into infill deposits similar to Trench 1. Some variation was apparent in section, with narrow bands of pebbles and shells, but occurring within the same fill. This deposit contained sparse abraded medieval pottery and shell. Trench 3, excavated below proposed new-build floor depth, and entirely within the dark, organic-rich silty-loam midden material, as in Trench 1, and had no archaeological features. No features of high significance were revealed, although the deposit of mixed silty-clay, found below proposed build levels in Trench 1, is of medieval origin and may represent a wall base or infilled gulley.
