Abstract: |
During May 2008, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological field evaluation consisting of six linear trial trenches on land at The Old Clydesdale Stud, Tarraby, Carlisle, Cumbria. The area is within the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Ref # 26069). The work was commissioned by David Little of HTGL Architects in order to fulfil an archaeological evaluation brief issued by English Heritage for the instillation and upgrade of sewerage tanks. The archaeological evaluation was required, as part of the works will directly impinge on the projected line of Hadrian's Wall. The groundworks carried out at the Old Clydesdale Stud, Tarraby had the potential to confirm the exact location of Hadrians Wall within an area that has seen little in the way of modern archaeological interventions. The line of the Wall was originally mapped by the Ordnance Survey, and indicated that the projected course of the Wall ran through the grounds of the Old Clydesdale Stud. However, the evaluation demonstrated a distinct lack of archaeological features and or deposits relating to the Roman period. It is highly likely therefore, that the wall is located either to the west or east of the immediate study area. |
