A programme of two stages of archaeological evaluation carried out on land off Park Road, Halwhistle, Northumberland in advance of a proposed housing development. The proposed area consists of two fields (centred at NGRs NY 69466386 and NY 6915 6416). The evaluation comprised excavation of 22 trial trenches, each measuring 25m by 2m, and an additional 5m-by-5m area stripped around an archaeological feature. Following the largely negative results of the evaluation across the Park Road sites, and the apparent absence of further archaeological features in the vicinity of the pit (4), it was agreed with NCCCT that no further archaeological mitigation of the site was required in advance of development. In the absence of any pre-modern artefacts, and given the limited potential of the palaeoenvironmental remains, no further analysis of the site archive is required. |
