Abstract: |
In September 2007, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological field evaluation on land at 24 Alpine Way, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear (NGR NZ 380 552). The site is situated in the present garden of 24 Alpine Way, built approximately 30 years ago, and is towards the south-western extent of the City of Sunderland. The work was commissioned by Garry Daw, the land owner, in order to fulfil an archaeological brief issued by Jennifer Morrison, Tyne and Wear Archaeology Officer. The subsequent archaeological evaluation consisted of the excavation of three trenches, and was required as part of a planning application submitted by the landowner for the construction of a single residential building. It was felt by the Tyne and Wear Archaeology Officer that any development works have the potential to directly impinge on any remaining features of a prehistoric nature that have been previously located by a geophysical survey undertaken on the land by Archaeological Services Durham University in 2001 (Still 2001), that accompanied an earlier desk-based study of the area completed in 2000 by Geoquest Associates (Newton and Noel 2000), which appeared to show a double ditch arrangement encircling the uppermost part of Humbledon Hill. The construction of a reservoir in 1873 on the top of Humbledon Hill destroyed a Bronze Age barrow, leading to the modern day assessments of the hill as a whole. |
