Abstract: |
WAA undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation and watching brief at Stephenson Monument, Westgate Road, Newcastle The evaluation and watching brief was required in advance of new public realm scheme as the development area sits on the line of Hadrian's Wall. The site may also contain archaeological deposits or features relating to the medieval graveyard of St. John. The evaluation consisted of two trenches opened on the east and western sides of the site across the carriageway. Trench 1 revealed a brick lined culvert. It was covered by later deposits and cut by several modern service ducts. Trench two revealed an oval-shaped brick structure that may have been a vertical shaft for a sewer. There were remains of brick/ sandstone walls at either end that may have formed cellars and had been backfilled. The covering deposits had been cut by modern service ducts also. The watching brief consisted of a narrow trench and two test pits. A brick lined culvert was observed in the north end of the trench. The culvert and deposits had been cut by several modern services. In the southern end, a section of a concrete pad, associated with the now demolished Westgate House was observed along with modern deposits and services. |
