Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation on land at Tulip's Haulage Yard, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland (centred on NZ 13524 66948). This work was undertaken as part of a pre-planning assessment prior to a proposed redevelopment programme, which will consist of the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a new housing development and associated infrastructure. The site is located within area of high archaeological sensitivity, being partially situated within the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site, which includes the Hadrian's Wall Scheduled Monument and Vallum (SM 26086). As a result of the site's location, Scheduled Monument consent had to be obtained and the project had to be carried out under guidance from Mike Collins, Inspector of Ancient Monuments (Hadrian's Wall) for English Heritage. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over two days between the 8th and 9th December 2014. The evaluation involved the excavation of seven trenches, five of which measured 10m in length and 1.6m in width, with a further two trenches measuring 3m2. No evidence for Hadrian's Wall or any of its associated features were observed during the archaeological evaluation, suggesting that the wall has been completely destroyed at this point or that the actual route of the wall falls outside of its present projected line. |
