Abstract: |
In August 2009, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by AECOM to undertake an archaeological evaluation at West Ancroft Wind Farm, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland (NGR: NT 39754 64505). The evaluation was conducted in advance of a proposed development for the construction of foundations for eight wind turbines, a substation and control building and a construction compound. A detailed Environmental Statement suggested that archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric to the modern periods exist within the site environs. As a result, an evaluation consisting of twenty-eight linear trial trenches was undertaken between the 10th August and the 14h August 2009.The evaluation did not uncover any well defined settlement activity or remains associated with prehistoric or medieval activity, which had been noted within the vicinity of the site. |
