Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology were commissioned by WSP, on behalf of Highways England, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land along the proposed improvement scheme for the A1, Alnwick to Ellingham, Northumberland. The proposed scheme involves the duelling of a c. 8km stretch of the A1 between Denwick and North Charlton. The existing carriageway will form the new north bound carriageway and a new southern carriageway would be built to the east. Several areas have been identified along the route as being of potential archaeological interest. The site was approximately 0.45 hectares in size and was located 10km north of Alnwick, to the east of the A1 at North Charlton, Northumberland (centred at National Grid Reference NU 17042 22685). The proposed scheme would run immediately adjacent to the boundary of the North Charlton medieval village and open field system Scheduled Monument (List Entry 1018348). A walkover survey, undertaken by WSP, identified earthworks extending from the Scheduled Monument into the site which could be of archaeological or geological origin. There was also potential for buried archaeological remains to be present at the site. The archaeological evaluation comprised four trenches (Trenches 1-4) and three test pits (Test Pit 1-3). Three phases of activity were encountered during the evaluation: Phase 1: superficial geology; Phase 2: undated deposits and Phase 3: Modern topsoil, intrusions and made ground. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were observed during the evaluation. The north-south earthwork appeared to be comprised of glacial sands and gravels and conceivably represented a geological moraine.
