Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at land south-west of Newbiggin Hall, Blanchland, Northumberland during the construction of a lodge. A trackway and a small section of wall and associated demolition deposit were recorded, but there were no other features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance identified. The development plot lies within the curtilage of Newbiggin Hall. The Ordnance Survey map from 1865 shows the development site as being within a wooded area with a formal garden within a walled enclosure, with a path running NE-SW. This general area has been re-developed by the 1899 map, with additional buildings to the north-east of the development site, new trackways and a different layout to the planting. The OS six inch 1899 mapping shows the trackway recorded in the watching brief, curving around the cluster of buildings to the west of Newbiggin Hall. There is little evidence to ascribe a date or function for the other remains found during these works, but they are likely to be garden features. |
