Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Mr William Leith to undertake an archaeological evaluation at land east of 37 Castle Terrace, Berwick-upon-Tweed to support a proposed planning application. The site is located 250m north-west of a scheduled medieval church and graveyard at 21-23 Castle Terrace (ref 1019902). Four trenches were excavated totaling 108m2. The depth of the trenches varied between 0.2m and 2.0m below the existing ground surface. The geological subsoil was found to fall sharply to the south and south-west, overlain with a buildup of compact mid-brown loam up to 1.5m deep. The top 0.3m of this deposit contained occasional shell, bone, ceramics and building materials, which are likely to be representative of nearby domestic activity in the medieval and later periods. No further archaeologically significant features were encountered. |
