| Abstract: |
The assessment will include an Assessment of Heritage Significance and an Assessment of Impact. Specifically it will: • Define the principal sources of information available for archaeological assessment (Section 3). • Present a catalogue (Section 4) and chronological synthesis (Section 5) of archaeological data derived from various sources. Accompanying base maps will locate established structures and features within, or in close proximity to, the development site. • Provide an assessment of archaeological potential with respect to the development site (Section 6). • Provide conclusions with respect to the known and potential archaeological significance of the development site (Section 7). • Recommend further work, if required to define more clearly the nature of the archaeological record and facilitate management or mitigation of this asset (Section 8). This report constitutes a desk-based cultural heritage assessment commissioned to accompany an application for development Kelly’s Yard, Foundry Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne. It is a updated version of a report previously completed in November 2006, the revision having been requested by the planning authority, Newcastle City Council, on the advice of the Tyne & Wear Archaeological Officer, to consider the implications of a number of archaeological interventions located within the vicinity of the proposed development area including, most notably the excavations at Norris House, where the remains of a Roman turret and other features were recently identified. This discovery has potential to impact our understanding of the alignment of Hadrian’s Wall. The original report included consideration of the area to the north of Kelly’s Yard, formerly Stephen Easten’s Yard, which has since been redeveloped as the Farm View residential apartment blocks. It also included photographic recording of the buildings still standing in 2006, associated with the final industrial phases of the site, including the fish curing associated with Shiells Kipper House. This has been excluded from this updated version, but the results of the evaluation trench excavated by the Archaeological Practice Ltd on the site in March 2010 have been incorporated along with a review of other post 2006 archaeological interventions, as indicated above. The assessment undertaken by The Archaeological Practice Ltd. incorporates an audit of both discrete and more extensive historical landscape components and presents a synthesis of the overall chronology of the defined area in order to identify potential cultural heritage constraints within the area of the proposed development and provide recommendations regarding work required to mitigate the potential impact of the proposed scheme of development. The report collates evidence from a wide range of sources, including historic maps, secondary historical works, excavation reports and the Heritage Environment Record (HER). A site visit was also undertaken. This has resulted in the identification of a total of 77 sites and monuments within or in the vicinity of the proposed development site which provide contextual information regarding the archaeological and historical development of the area. The principal findings of the assessment relate to frontier monuments of the Roman period and industrial remains of the modern era, which represent the most significant remains considered potentially likely to survive within the assessment area. The precise route taken by Hadrian’s Wall (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) across the valley of the Ouse Burn remains to be established, but there are strong grounds for believing that it traversed the assessment area. The assessment site was a peripheral zone on the boundary between township communities during the medieval period, but the beginning of coal mining in Ouseburn is documented during this period. |
