Abstract: |
The potential for Post-Medieval or Victorian archaeological remains surviving on the development site is medium to high. The water corn mill is the earliest feature known to have existed within the development site, and traces of it could survive beneath the site of the Barras Building, proposed for demolition. Cellaring of the site, of probable Post-Medieval or Victorian origin, will have affected its survival, and may mean that no earlier deposits will be encountered during redevelopment of the site. As no plans were available of the building, it may be that the whole site has not been cellared. On the evidence presented in this report there is a medium potential for the survival of archaeological deposits on the site. Recent evaluation work on an adjoining site did not reveal evidence for activity earlier than the Post-Medieval period, and this development is unlikely to reveal earlier deposits. However, the importance of a water corn mill surviving within the centre of Newcastle is high, and this development provides a rare opportunity to assess its survival, before detrimental impact occurs to any associated important archaeological deposits. It is therefore advisable that a form of archaeological mitigation is undertaken on this development site to avoid any detrimental affects to archaeology there. This should take the form, as a minimum, of an archaeological watching brief, to observe groundworks associated with the development. The Claremont Buildings are listed Grade II. The southernmost part was built in 1894, with the northern extension in 1905-6. Any significant alterations to this building, due to its protective nature, may have to undergo archaeological observation, or an archaeological recording of the building as-is may be undertaken prior to development. |
