Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology were commissioned by the North Pennines AONB Partnership to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the Little Engine House at Shildon near Blanchland in Northumberland. The evaluation took the form of a community training excavation staffed by volunteers from the Altogether Archaeology project, overseen by Addyman Archaeology personnel. The project aimed to assess the survival of the Little Engine House, the results facilitating any future decision on further excavation or consolidation works. The archaeological evaluation resulted in the opening of eight specifically placed trenches over two seasons, each providing details about the survival and extent of the buried structures. Walls were revealed in each of the trenches, demonstrating the preservation of the main structure to be excellent and showing evidence of phasing and re-use. The project was well attended by local volunteers, all of whom were guided in the basics of archaeological excavation as time and logistics allowed. The trenches showed the site has excellent potential to be fully revealed, consolidated and presented to the public, although such considerations lie outwith the remit of this project. |
