Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was carried out by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd on the site of a proposed cemetery, close to the supposed site of the medieval hospital of St Leonard at Ednam. A programme of geophysical survey and test-pitting, previously carried out by GUARD, had identified two possible buildings and a linear cobbled surface in an area to the east of the current evaluation, and closer to the probable site of the hospital. The trial trenches covered a low-lying area close to the road. The features identified include a ditch 6m wide, possibly a catchwater drain, and a number of smaller ditches and stone-packed drains, all of which are probably post-medieval. No evidence relating to the medieval hospital was found. |
