Abstract:		 The watching brief covered part of the installation of a replacement gas main supplying Linden Way, Wrekenton, Gateshead. The area of archaeological monitoring comprised a short section of trenching along Tanfield Place, crossing the line of the Wrekendike (or Wrakendike) Roman road. There was the potential for encountering remains associated with the road, investigation of which would fulfil research priorities for the Roman period. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken in accordance with a brief prepared by the Tyne and Wear County Archaeology team. The excavation of approximately 30m of pipe-trench, on a rough north-west to south-east alignment, was monitored. The trench was located on the north-east side of the road and averaged 0.3m wide and 0.6m deep. No remains of the road or its associated ditches were encountered. To the south-east of the line of the Wrekendike (Area A) the natural bedrock, a weathered/laminated sandstone,- was encountered at a depth of 0.25m. Above this, the modern road surface was bedded onto ‘industrial’ black and red ash and shale. Across the line of the road (Area B), no natural deposits were visible, the entire section comprising crushed orange dolomitic sandstone overlain by a reinforced concrete raft 0.2–0.3m thick (Plate 2), and then the modern tarmac, which had been cut by numerous service trenches. North of the line of Wrekendike (Area C), the base of the trench encountered dark grey/brown silty clay at a depth of 0.6–0.7m, the only ‘natural’ horizon seen. Overlying this was up to 0.2m of friable dark grey ash and coal, with concrete and tarmac of the modern road completing the profile.
