Abstract: |
Archaeo-Environment Ltd were commissioned by Mr and Mrs Adams of Low Woodside Farm to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of foundations for a new stable block. The requirement had been identified by Durham County Council as the development sat on the conjectured line of the major Roman Road Dere Street. The development work consisted of a soil strip from an area 22m by 13m for the footprint of the new building, with the foundation trenches exacavated to a maximum depth of 650mm below the present surface. The watching brief provided little evidence of in-situ archaeological deposits, with unstratified pottery dating to the 19th/20th centuries. An area of stone with a single posthole on one side appeared to represent a simple agricultural building surface, and was dated from pottery sherds to the 18th/19th century. Based on the evidence from the watching brief, the construction works appear to have had a negligible impact on any archaeological resources at Low Woodside. |
