Abstract:
Addyman Archaeology was commissioned by The Northumberland Estates to undertake an archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) and building survey of an area of the rear of Alnwick Castle, adjacent to the Drying Green and current Estate Offices, Alnwick, Northumberland. The Historic Building Recording has provided a record of the existing buildings fronting on to the Drying Green. This has demonstrated that although 18th century fabric survives within the south facing elevation, much of what is now visible is the result of the alterations undertaken by the 4th Duke of Northumberland in the mid-19th century, as depicted in the map regression. The Guest Hall and adjacent buildings contain no evidence for surviving 18th century fabric; 20th century alterations were also recorded. The retaining wall on Greenwell Lane appears to have been constructed as a single phase in the 19th century, probably at the same time as the construction of the Guest Hall. The Visual Impact assessment demonstrated that the only historic structure that would be impacted by the proposed extension is the Duchess Bridge to the east of the site. However, it is considered that the primary views from the bridge towards the castle keep entrance would only be moderately affected. Given the location of the proposed new extension it is likely that an evaluation may be required prior to any ground breaking works related to the new development, followed by a watching brief or excavation to record any structural elements relating to the history of the castle and any earlier archaeological deposits that may survive below the Drying Green.
