Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was undertaken in response to a proposal to construct a Sikh temple and garden. The former chapel was constructed between 1838 and 1844 and the cemetery then appeared to go out of use in 1854. During the 1853 cholera epidemic the cemetery was used a graveyard for many of the victims. No records of subsequent clearance of the graveyard were located following the decommissioning of the chapel so it was assumed that these and other burials were still in situ on the site. Also of interest was the site's close proximity to Hadrian's Wall, which could mean that associated features were within the site. A further archaeological evaluation was recommended. [Au(adp)] |
