Abstract: |
In July 2012 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Northumbrian Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the B6318 near East Wallhouses in Northumberland. The Watching Brief was carried out while repairs were made to a water pipe that was believed to have burst. The site sits on the line of Hadrian's Wall, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a World Heritage Site. Scheduled Monument consent was granted for a trench to be dug across the road in order for the required repairs to be carried out. There was the potential for Hadrian's Wall, or features associated with the Wall, to be encountered during the watching brief. The groundwork was initially going to involve the excavation of one trench running north-south across the road outside of the Robin Hood Inn. However, two small trenches dug at either side of the road were able to locate the burst water pipe and allowed a new pipe to be pulled through an existing duct without the need for a larger trench to be dug across the road. There were no finds, features or buried land surfaces encountered during the watching brief. |
