Abstract:		 Widening and re-surfacing of a heavily-used footpath on the north-eastern flank of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed was carried out in 2017. The path runs alongside a number of archaeological remains, first crossing the unscheduled medieval earthwork of Spades Mire adjacent to the site of the medieval Hospital of St Mary Magdalen and then past scheduled defence works (SM 28599) including the Henrician Lord's-Mount gun bastion, the counterscarp bank of the outer ditch of the medieval (Edwardian) defences of the town and the western edge of the counterscarp bank of the ditch around the Tudor Brass Bastion. All works were subject to scheduled monument consent and carried out to the terms of a written scheme of investigation. Works on the footpath had only minor impact on the adjacent medieval and Tudor earthworks, involving minor encroachment over the eastern margin of the counterscarp bank of the medieval town ditch. Encroachment on the Tudor earthworks adjacent to Brass Bastion was prevented by marginal adaptation to the line of the footpath during the works.
