Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the Fossway, Newcastle. The principal aim of the work was to establish the line of Hadrian's Wall through the study area so that an assessment of the potential impact of development on the monument could be made and appropriate mitigation strategies formulated. There was evidence of post-medieval made ground on the north-east part of the site which meant it was likely that archaeological deposits would be deeply buried. Excavation in the north-west of the site revealed cut features which probably represented features of Roman date lying on the berm between the Wall and Wall ditch. Post-medieval terracing had occurred on the western end of the site. The south-eastern part of the site contained structures associated with the Lower Main Quarry. [Au(adp)] |
