Abstract:		 This report constitutes a desk-based cultural heritage assessment, including a historic building assessment, of a proposed development site at 39-41 Fenkle Street in the historic centre of Alnwick, Northumberland. The appraisal undertaken by The Archaeological Practice Ltd. incorporates an audit of both discrete and more extensive historical landscape components and presents a synthesis of the overall chronology of the defined area in order to identify potential cultural heritage constraints within the area of the proposed development and provide recommendations regarding work required to mitigate the potential impact of the proposed scheme of development. It is concluded that the site has the potential to contain significant archaeological remains of early and later medieval and early modern date. Fenkle Street is one of the areas in the historic core of Alnwick where the potential for early medieval settlement alongside important routeways has previously been hypothesised, though there is as yet no secure evidence to confirm the existence of such early medieval settlement in the town. The development of this site therefore has the potential to impact upon sub-surface archaeological features and deposits associated with medieval and post-medieval occupation of the burgage plot, forming part of the medieval borough of Alnwick. However, the degree of such impact is minimised by the limited extent of the intrusive groundworks required by the scheme. It is therefore recommended that the impact of the scheme should be mitigated by the excavation, under archaeological conditions, of a single mitigation trench extending the full length of the new wall's location, plus monitoring of all other groundworks associated with the scheme.
