Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by Sedgefield Town Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Sedgefield Cricket Club, Sedgefield, County Durham (NGR NZ 34871 28526). The work is required as the site lies within the south western fringe of the English Heritage registered Hardwick Park. Excavation work carried out between 2005 and 2008 uncovered an extensive Romano British roadside settlement along the line of the 'Cade's Road', which runs North south through the East park. Enclosures, containing evidence for small scale household activities and some industrial processes were found to be present on either side of the roadway (HER 15887). In the vicinity of the proposed development area and enclosure is visible on the geophysical survey. No previous archaeological excavation has taken place within this area so there is high potential to uncover previously unidentified features dating principally to the Roman and earlier periods. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over three days between the 21st and 23rd of May 2012 and. The evaluation involved the excavation of four trenches, providing assessment of 128m2 of the total 1900m² development area. No Archaeological remains were recorded. |
