Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was carried out. The site was close to the Segedunum Roman Fort and was located within the military zone associated with Hadrian's Wall within the area recognised as a World Heritage Site. Map evidence indicated that the site was an open plot of ground which was used as allotments until relatively recently. Later it was used as a car park. In 1993 excavations identified a series of gullies and quarry pits dating from the late 2nd to the early 4th century, in the area immediately to the north-east of the current proposed development. The application area was subsequently developed by the construction of a retail unit to the east, offices to the north and a car park in the south-west corner of the plot. It was not clear whether further deposits and features of archaeological interest would have survived these earlier groundworks. The potential for well preserved archaeology on the site, from the Roman period or otherwise, was considered to be low. [Au(adp)] |
