| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out as part of the planning process prior to residential development of the site. The site lay close to the line of a major Roman road (Stane Street), and within an Archaeological Priority Zone as defined by the local UDP. There was also some potential for prehistoric finds, although the area was remote from the centre of historic settlement and was shown as open land until the late 18th century. Following a desk-based assessment one evaluation trench was opened at the southern end of the site, within part of the proposed development footprint. Natural sandy clay/silt was exposed throughout the length of the trench, but no archaeological features or finds were recorded. Overlying the natural was a fairly shallow buried soil horizon, presumably that which formed the land surface over the site prior to the 1790s. This was sealed by several layers of made ground, which produced pottery of 19th or early 20th century date. These deposits clearly related to the subsequent development of the site as domestic gardens. The uppermost part of the trench sequence comprised levelling and make-up for the existing yard. Given the absence of any significant archaeological features or finds from the evaluation, it was suggested that the archaeological condition on the proposed redevelopment may be discharged.
