Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by Sharon Jenkinson of Carlisle City Council, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of several post-holes for signage on Punton Road and Brampton Road, Carlisle, Cumbria (NGR NY 40235 57183). The proposed groundworks were situated within the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, which has been identified as being of high archaeological importance and is statutorily protected as a Scheduled Monument (Scheduled Monument No. 26069). This section of the wall has an additional Scheduled Monument Number 28484 for the area between Wall Knowe and Scotland Road (Wall Mile 65). As a result, Mike Collins, Hadrian's Wall Archaeologist for English Heritage, requested that an archaeological watching brief be undertaken during all groundworks. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the 4th April 2012 and monitored the excavation of four post-holes on Punton Road for parking restriction signs and a single post-hole on Brampton Road for a new bus stop sign. The post-holes were excavated to an average depth of 0.4m with a maximum depth of 0.55m, each revealing modern make-up deposits. No archaeological features or deposits were observed during the work and all finds were classified as modern and discarded on site. As this archaeological watching brief was conducted as part of a recommendation to observe groundworks during the installation of new sign-posts, no further work is deemed necessary. However, given the high archaeological sensitivity of the area, it is recommended that any future work be subject to a programme of archaeological investigation. |
