Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Brent McCafferty, of Leah properties Ltd, to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the north of Lower Dundas Street, Sunderland. The purpose of the evaluation was to inform on the presence or absence of archaeological remains prior to the development of the site. The site falls within the proposed area of the Monkwearmouth World Heritage Site. An archaeological desk based assessment has been produced (Stobbs 2011) which indicated that the proposed development site offered a high potential for research related to the North East Regional Research Framework (NERRF), in particular the early Medieval and Medieval periods. During the evaluation no archaeological evidence was found of a Medieval settlement or Monastic activity. Given the depths and consistency of the made ground present across the site, it is probable that previous groundworks and site use may have destroyed any potential archaeological remains in the area. |
