Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Knight Frank on behalf of Empirica Energy to undertake an Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed construction of a single wind turbine within land southwest of High Shaw Farm, East Woodburn, Northumberland (hereafter 'the Site'). There is one possible prehistoric field system, and a Romano-British redeposited findspot and rock carving site known within the Study Area. As the Roman findspot is not within its original context, and that both Roman sites are isolated, it is considered that there is low potential for encountering archaeological remains dating to these periods. No known Medieval artefacts or sites are listed in NHER within the Study Area, although satellite imagery suggests ridge and furrow extends into the Study Area from the north. This does not extend into the proposed development area. There is, therefore, a low potential for encountering archaeological remains dating to this period The Site occupies an area known to have functioned as part of the Post-Medieval industrial landscape. Within 700m of the Site is the Scheduled Monument of Ridsdale Ironworks, which would have utilised the surrounding landscape for raw materials. A quarry directly next to the development area was not operational when the ironworks was and it is likely that the quarry was utilised by a landowner or farmer to generate income through the export of a raw-product, most likely limestone. It is highly likely that the development will physically impact upon archaeology of the quarry. |
