This report presents the results of an evaluation and building assessment
conducted in advance of a proposed development at Narrowgate House,
Alnwick. The works comprised the excavation of six trial trenches and a test
pit, recording of a previously excavated structural survey test pit, and
photography and assessment of a building and garden wall within the garden
of the property.

The works were commissioned by Andrew Woodhouse, and conducted by
Archaeological Services in accordance with a specification provided by
Northumberland County Council Conservation Team and a written scheme of
investigation provided by Archaeological Services.

The evaluation identified a number of features of medieval and post-medieval
date at the eastern end of the garden, close to Narrowgate House. However,
most of these were truncated by a large modern cut that extended at least
0.35m into the natural subsoil.
