Archaeological Assessment and Building Recording Peters, C Newcastle-upon-Tyne : Tyne & Wears Museum Archaeology Department, 2005, 56pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Tyne & Wears Museum Archaeology Department A desk-based assessment and building recording was carried out in advance of a proposed development. The site lay outside the known area of Roman and medieval settlement in Gateshead. However, the development site itself lay within the Medieval Bishop's Park and the possibility that it contained the remains of the Bishop's retreat, or park residence should not be dismissed as it had not yet been found elsewhere. In addition the importance of this area of Gateshead in terms of industrial archaeology should not be underestimated. Hawk's Iron Works was established in the area in 1747, and the building still existed on the site and dated to the later end of their Empire. Hawks was important for the social and economic status of the area with a paternalistic policy towards employees. Due to the fact that sub-surface industrial remains were likely, as well as a chance of a medieval Bishop's Residence, it was recommended that trial trenching be carried out on the site. [Au(adp)]

Volume 16 Brogan, G & Speak, S Morpeth : Northumberland County Council, 2006, 1p, colour pl Work undertaken by: An excavation was carried out alongside open cast coal extraction at the site, which straddled the border between Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. Highly significant archaeological remains attributed to two distinct periods were revealed. The earliest consisted of an alignment of small Archaeological Investigations Project 2005 Post-determination and Research North East rectangular or oval pits running across the whole length of the site, and at first appeared to terminate on a low ridge but later was found to head out of the excavation area towards the Carr. The Delhi Extension excavation nearby retained the same alignment and suggested that both sites represented large-scale land allotment boundaries, perhaps similar to Milfield Plain, in north Northumberland. The lack of finds ensured that dating evidence was sparse, however a possible late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date was probable. The second period represented on the site was dated to the second half of the 13th century AD, and was represented by a field system divided by boundary ditches that obliterated the prehistoric pit alignment for some distance. By the late 13th/early 14th century a grange had been constructed against one of the boundary ditches and the remaining sides of the grange were enclosed by new ditches. The interior of the grange contained the remains of two buildings, with a masonry-lined well of exceptional quality in the north-eastern corner of the complex. A small field containing an east- west ridge and furrow system was located north of the grange enclosure and to the south was an additional enclosure that incorporated one and possibly two timber buildings. A substantial metalled road with massive flanking ditches led to the north-west corner of a small field to the north of the grange and continued southwards [without the metalling] down the west side of the main enclosure towards the Carr. To the west of the road was another field that contained a penannular medieval gully possibly representing a stack-stand for peat turfs. Alterations to the grange included the backfilling of the northern enclosure ditch and the insertion of a sunken cobbled yard against the interior of the southern ditch. The latest phase was marked by demolition or destruction deposits and in one gully these sealed a pot full of grain and a silver long cross penny of Edward II or Edward III. The site was possibly associated with Newminster Abbey, and was possibly the original Horton Grange or at least an outlying element associated with it. It's end in the second quarter of the 14th century [based on the pottery evidence] was abrupt and possibly violent given the presence of destruction deposits. It was thought that it could have been related to the plague or one of the all to frequent Scottish raids. Following the abandonment of the site a ridge and furrow field system was created over it.

It was likely that this was composed of two smaller dwellings as part of a terraced longhouse form. The evidence suggested that the dwellings possibly had a byre at the western end and living quarters at the eastern end. It was probable that the building continued into the field to the east. Confirmation of this would establish if the excavated remains were definitely the western end of part of a terraced longhouse formation. The pottery assemblage was of regional significance because of its largely early post-Conquest date. The date range of 11th to 13th century covered a relatively short period of about 200 years, or up to eight generations. Significant assemblages of animal bone, metalwork and other finds were recovered. Architectural fragments indicate that an early high status building stood in the near vicinity of the site.

Archaeology in Northumberland, Volume 16 Glover, G Morpeth : Northumberland County Council, 2006, 3pp, colour pls, figs Work undertaken by: Pre-Construct Archaeology (Lincoln) A programme of archaeological fieldwork was undertaken in advance of development of the site. The presence of important archaeological remains were anticipated, especially the presence of a sub-oval enclosure within the eastern portion of the development area. Early activity at the site comprised truncated linear gullies thought to be associated with the setting out of the enclosure. Evidence pointed to six different phases of alteration or recuting during the lifetime of the feature., possibly indicating a low degree of maintenance which in turn could have reflected seasonal occupation. A general increase in size over time was also noted. Iron Age pottery with food residues indicated a radiocarbon date of 500-460 BC or 430-380 BC, equating to the Early to Middle Iron Age. A substantial ditch was cut during the last two phases of the enclosure, perhaps acting as an aid to livestock control. An important collection of pottery and briquetage [the largest collection of the latter ever recorded in Northumberland] was collected from the abandonment fill of the ditch, which was thought to point to salt processing at the site. There was no direct evidence for permanent occupation of the area, which was abandoned in the first century and came under the plough in the medieval period. [Au(abr)]

The finding of three rectangular Neolithic buildings was extremely rare and was a very rare example of a possible 'Neolithic village' in England. The site has the potential to inform wider understanding and debate regarding Neolithic settlement in the British Isle and Atlantic Europe. A large quantity of fines were recovered including 163 sherds of pottery, 42 lithics and 6 coarse stone artefacts. Many of the sherds were large and represented Early Neolithic Carinated bowls and Later Neolithic Grooved Ware. The stone tool assemblage included a broken carved stone ball rough out, a hammerstone, a whetstone and a variety of flint blade tools. Carbonised material and charred wood fragments were recovered from many pits which means that all features of interest on the site have the potential to be radiocarbon dated. Some of the pottery has visible residues adhering to the inner surface providing an opportunity to discover what the pots contained. This was one of the most significant Neolithic settlement sites so far discovered in Northern England. [Au(abr)]

The evaluation involved the excavation of a trench across an upstanding bank which had been tentatively dated to the Iron Age, based on its morphology and relationship with the medieval castle defences. The trench revealed the stratigraphy of the bank's construction, although no features were found set or cut into the crest of the bank. No buried land surface which could have provided dating samples was found as the bank was built into natural boulder clay after prior removal of the topsoil. The only small finds came form the topsoil and were undiagnostic with the exception of a small fragment of medieval green-glazed pottery. A thin branch of wood was recovered from the primary dump in the east end of the trench and it was hoped that a radiocarbon determination or dendrochronology date could have been obtained from this to provide a terminus ante quem for the construction of the bank. The constructional form of the bank suggested that this was not a prehistoric structure and was more likely to have been associated with the medieval phases of activity on the site. [Au(abr)]

Archaeology in Northumberland, Volume 16 Jenkins, C Morpeth : Northumberland County Council, 2006, 1p, colour pl, fig Work undertaken by: Northern Archaeological Associates Archaeological investigation in advance of open cast mining on the Blagdon Hall Estate identified remains of a prehistoric settlement and later activity. The investigation was located between two Second World War expedient open cast mines. Twenty sub-oval pits aligned north to south at the west end of the site were uncovered, yielding a single flint flake. The feature was thought to denote a property boundary, and may have been related to a ring ditch that was exposed 50m to the east. The ditch deposits contained remnants of daub, suggesting the existence of a round house with the ditch acting as a drainage channel. Further remains dating to the same period were encountered some 55m to the east of this and comprised the remains of a multi-phased prehistoric settlement. This settlement Archaeological Investigations Project 2005 Post-determination and Research North East activity had been heavily truncated by medieval ploughing and no internal components survived. The earliest activity encountered consisted of a probable rubbish pit overlain by a circular segmented ring gully, interpreted as a storage hut. This was thought to relate to a round house to the south, which showed evidence of at least two phases. Re-cut pits nearby that demonstrated the presence of burning were thought to reflect some kind of industrial activity. Further to the east, a field system was encountered that appeared to have been modified at a later date to enclose another settlement. An entrance had been constructed, associated with a series of pits, that may have been used for corralling animals. The two roundhouses of this settlement faced east, as did those from the other settlement, and contained internal features, including structural slots and post holes. A sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from the outer ring gully, a Meare bead that may have been made in Somerset [although these were relatively widespread]. The medieval period was represented by the remains of two probable enclosures that truncated the large ring ditch, related to animal activity and truncated by later medieval ploughing that extended across the site. Post-medieval stone and brick culverts were encountered in the east part of the site, thought to be associated with a drainage system concerning the 18th century Blagdon Estate. Later remains were mining related and dated to the 20th century. [Au(abr)]

Report on an Archaeological Watching Brief Shipley, J Newbiggin By The Sea : Jonathan Shipley, 2005, 17pp, colour pls, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Jonathan Shipley An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a trench for a new electric cable. The trench was cut into land north of the Vallum Farm that lay between the Vallum and the line of Hadrian's Wall which were both classified as being a World Heritage Site and a Scheduled Ancient Monument (26043). No deposits of archaeological significance were observed during the excavation, with the shallow depth of the trench failing to move out of the plough soil. However an area of loose stone, brick and concrete was observed near the north east angle of the trench representing the line of the original farm access until its replacement in the early 1980's. The observations made during the work suggested that the line of the Roman Military Way may have followed a course that lay closer to the line of the Wall, or at a depth out of reach of the present shallow excavation. Lack of features relating to the Vallum and the north bank suggested that this may have been destroyed/levelled during the construction of Vallum Farm, as a well preserved section of the Vallum and banks could be observed in the field directly to the west of the site. The nature of remains found upon this site did not support a recommendation for further archaeological evaluation. However, although no deposits/features of archaeological significance were recovered during this series of works, archaeological consultation should be sought prior to future work on any such site located in the Hadrian's Wall corridor.

The properties were both Grade II Listed Buildings of 18th and 19th century date. Ground level reduction over the line of Archaeological Investigations Project 2005 Post-determination and Research North East the precinct wall in No.3 revealed a discrete raft of very substantial worked stones which appeared to pre-date the building and may have been material re-used from the wall as properties extended across its line. To the south of this an exposure of the base of wall (1) (which ran on the putative line of the Precinct wall) revealed a spread of sandstone block, possibly the base of the Precinct Wall. Elsewhere ground reduction and the cutting of service or foundation trenches failed to reveal any medieval deposits, although subsoil was not reached in any excavation and archaeological stratigraphy would have almost certainly survived below the level of intrusion. During the excavation for services in the passageway to St. Mary's Chare towards the east of the properties, rather precarious historic building methods were observed, where the southern passage wall of No. 3 had been constructed over the southern edge of a vaulted cellar.

The evaluation located no feature or artefactual remains of any historical significance. It would seem possible that the earthwork of the castle had been slighted and Archaeological Investigations Project 2005 Post-determination and Research North East spread at some point in the past, obliterating any remains within the plot. Limited building recoding of Building B, a putative bastle structure, and archaeological monitoring of groundwork progressed over plots 1 to 3.

Excavations on this site had identified features potentially spanning over a thousand years and produced evidence of both settlement and burial practice. The excavations uncovered a round house, within the gulley of which c.90 sherds of Iron Age pottery were recovered. A series of enclosure ditches, possibly of later prehistoric date, were also identified. An Anglo-Saxon cemetery was identified, with fifteen cremation burials and seventeen inhumations. Fourteen cremation urns were found, varying in condition from fragmentary to complete; one cremation had no surviving urn, which may have been due to the vessel having been inverted and truncated. Due to the effects of acidic soils, only a small quantity of human remains survived, although c.250 grave goods were retrieved. [Au(abr)]
