Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief under Class 7 Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) was undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) in February 2009 during the upgrading of drainage systems and the extension of an existing footway at the junction of Church Terrace and Scotland Road (the A7) to the north of the centre of Carlisle, within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Hadrian's Wall. An evaluation previously carried out by CFA had identified the remains of what is likely to be the core of Hadrian's Wall. The evaluation established that the survival of the core of the Wall within this location was fragmentary, with areas having been removed for the insertion of modern features including services and a kerbside drainage gutter. Consequently, the terms of the SMC required that all groundbreaking work should be undertaken along the line of the existing kerb, where the remains of the Wall had previously been disturbed. The principle purpose of this watching brief was to ensure that the contractor complied with the terms laid down in the SMC. |
