Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Nash Partnership to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring at 25 Castle Terrace, Berwick-upon-Tweed in order to fulfil a condition attached to a planning application (ref 14/00511/FUL). The site is located immediately west of a scheduled medieval church and graveyard at 21-23 Castle Terrace (ref 1019902). The development involved the demolition of the current dwelling and construction of a larger dwelling at the same location. The groundworks included the excavation of trenches varying between 0.95m and 1.7m depth for building foundations and associated services. Despite the archaeological potential of the site due its proximity to the scheduled monument and also the known medieval settlement of Bondington, no archaeological features were identified during the work. The groundworks revealed significant previous disturbance to the northern half of the site, particulaly levelling activity for the now demolished buildings. It is likely therefore that any archaeological remains would have been removed. In the gardens to the south, there was minimal evidence of disturbance and so the lack of archaeology suggests either none is present or that the development has avoided it. |
