Abstract: |
In October 2007, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed development of land immediately to the west of the Haydon Hotel, Shaftoe Street, Haydon Bridge, Northumberland (NGR NY 8430 6410). The site is of high medieval and post-medieval potential due to the location of the development on the fringes of the historic core of the town. Human settlement at Haydon Bridge is thought to date from at least the Saxon period, though the first known documentary reference to the town is in 1323 granting a fair and market. During the post-medieval period, Haydon Bridge''s main settlement focus seems to have been on the southern side of the river, with numerous buildings and burgage plots. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of two trenches, one measuring 17m in length and 2m in width and the other 16.10m in length by 2.5m in width, both by machine down to natural subsoil. These were then hand-cleaned and recorded. Due to the lack of an archaeological presence within the evaluation trenches it is recommended that no further archaeological input is required on this development site. |
