Abstract: |
In March 2013 Archaeological Research Services Ltd. were commissioned by GVA to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to South Newsham Road, Blyth, Northumberland, prior to development. The proposed development involves the construction of new dwellings on land which has previously been used as arable farmland. The evaluation was carried out in order to provide sufficient information to properly assess the archaeological impact of this application in line with policy HE6 of PPS5 (now superseded by the NPPF). The evaluation was specifically designed to evaluate features identified on a geophysical survey carried out prior to the evaluation. Trenches wee placed to examine possible anomalies detected during that survey. The archaeological evaluation noted the presence of north-south aligned broad furrows of probable medieval date, but did not record any further archaeological remains, either through the geophysical survey, or through the evaluation trenching. Possible archaeological features noted in the geophysical survey were targeted during the evaluation; however no corresponding archaeological features were recorded. |
