Abstract: |
The Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken over 10 consecutive working days between 29th November and 10th December 2010. The evaluation involved the excavation of three trenches, totalling 192m2 of excavation in total. Archaeological remains were identified in all three trenches. The majority of the area trenched was sealed by a layer of reinforced concrete through which ran the outline of demolished red brick buildings. These were associated with the development of the site by the Newcastle Ragged School which occupied the hall between 1922 and 1981. Classrooms and workshops for what was essentially a Borstal or Approved School stood on the site. Sealed under the reinforced concrete were the concrete foundations and the lower courses of redbrick structures associated with the school. A number of yellow sandstone built walls with associated steps and floor surfaces were also present. These were believed to have related to an east-west range of ancillary buildings, including a possible stable block, which are known to have existed since at least 1856 and thought to be associated the standing Axwell Hall constructed in 1762. |
