An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Spital Road, Blyth, as part of works to comply with an archaeological condition placed on a planning application to build new housing on land to the rear of properties fronting Spital Road. Given the potential for the disturbance of buried archaeological remains, should they exist on the site, the site was evaluated by the excavation of three trenches amounting to a 4% sample of the proposed development area. No archaeological remains were identified in the trenches.
