Abstract: |
In June 2005 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Eden Housing Association Ltd to undertake an archaeological desk based assessment in advance of a proposed development for a site at Newbiggin, Stainton, Cumbria. Following on from this assessment a 5% field evaluation was carried out over three days between the 13th and 15th of September 2005. No features of any archaeological significance were observed during the field evaluation. The work involved the excavation of three linear trial trenches which measured 20m x 1.6m, in order to assess the presence/absence, extent, nature and state of preservation of archaeological deposits across the development site. Although the site was in an area of high archaeological potential, with the potential for archaeological remains from the prehistoric through to the medieval period, no archaeological deposits were observed within any of the trenches. The earliest recorded deposit consisted of cobble filled land drain, which produced 19th century pottery. It is therefore recommended that no further constraint to development is likely to be necessary on archaeological grounds. |
