Abstract: |
In June 2019 Archaeological Research Services Ltd. was commissioned by Northumbrian Water Ltd. to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Fenham Reservoir, West Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne. The watching brief monitored groundworks associated with the installation of a new connection onto the mains within West Road prior to development at the Fenham Reservoir site.The monitored works identified evidence associated with the Roman Fort of Condercum substantially truncated by 19th and 20th century suburban development of Benwell particularly the construction of Fenham Reservoir and its associated utilities. Fenham Reservoir was believed to have significantly impacted on earlier in-situ archaeological remains though the observed remains of a probable Roman road within its bounds indicates that elements of Condercum Fort have survived in the immediate vicinity. |
