Abstract: |
The proposed bypass runs from its junction with the A69 at West Rattenraw (NY 8305 6415) to the junction of the A69 with the A686 (NY 8516 6443). In April 2004, CVC Highway Solutions was commissioned by the Highways Agency to carry out the detailed design and construction of the A69 Haydon Bridge Bypass. As part of this task an archaeological evaluation was deemed necessary, to determine the nature and extent of the below ground survival of archaeological remains within the route corridor of the proposed bypass, and to determine the measures necessary to mitigate the impact of the route development on any remains of archaeological significance. Palaeoenvironmental coring was required for an area (Area A) at the western end of the scheme. In addition, a watching brief was stipulated during the topsoil stripping of areas not covered by the evaluation exercise. OA North was commissioned to undertake this work, with the watching brief commencing on 11th January 2007 and undertaken intermittently until March 2007. The evaluation exercise commenced on 29th January 2007 and was undertaken over four weeks, finishing on 23rd February. The palaeoenvironmental coring was undertaken on 30th January. Three areas (SMS 1-3) identified as having potential archaeological significance, were then mitigated by a Strip, Map and Sample (SMS) exercise, which finished on 17th April 2007. Overall the results of the fieldwork were disappointing, confirming a general lack of features of archaeological interest. |
