Abstract:		 Excavation of the trenches was carried out using a mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless ditching bucket under direct archaeological supervision. Soil was removed in level spits of no more than 0.2m until either the top of the first archaeological horizon or undisturbed natural was reached. The resulting surface was inspected for archaeological remains. Ditches were excavated in order to investigate their depth and profile and to recover finds, while discrete features encountered were at least 50% sampled. A full written, drawn and photographic (35mm monochrome and digital) record of all material revealed during the course of the work was made. The trench locations were set out using GPS survey equipment with hand drawn trench plans and sections produced at a suitable scale and tied to the Ordnance Survey National Grid. All sections, plans and elevations included spot-heights related to Ordnance Datum in metres as correct to two decimal places. The evaluation off Great North Road produced evidence of a series of ditches running across the site, found particularly in the north-western half of the site. All the ditches have similar, rectilinear alignments, appearing to respect the orientation of Great North Road. This suggests they form the boundaries of plots lining the road. Dating material from the ditches was limited to one sherd of medieval pottery, though this represents a likely date for the features. The ditches possibly represent a broadly contemporary system of boundaries. Two pits in Trench 3 also produced medieval pottery and a cache of charred material. These may represent evidence of nearby medieval settlement and suggest the potential for other similar features to lie in this area of the site.
