Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned by Northern Gas Networks to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring (archaeological watching brief) during groundworks for the laying of a replacement gas main along Lanercost Gardens, Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne. The work was carried out between the 8th and the 26th August 2022. The total length of pipe replaced measured 200 m and was centred on NGR NZ 15918 66892. The site is located within the boundary of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Hadrian’s Wall (1003796). Scheduled Monument Consent was granted for the replacement gas main along Lanercost Gardens on the 2nd March 2022 under Historic England reference S00242347.A total of 27 excavated trenches were monitored between No. 2 and 46 Lanercost Gardens. The trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2 m and the majority were no more than 2.5 m x 2.5 m in size. The longest was Trench 1 located to the west side of Lanercost Gardens, which was 25 m long following the line of the existing gas pipeline. The stratigraphy was regular across all the trenches comprising layers of modern made ground overlying redeposited sandy clay. The results indicated that in all cases the material excavated from the trenches was redeposited backfill following from the excavation of the original pipeline. No new ground was broken and no archaeological remains associated to Hadrian’s Wall or the Vallum were encountered. No artefacts were recovered, and no deposits were deemed suitable for environmental sampling.
