Abstract: |
In February 2009, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Mr R Milburn to maintain an archaeological watching brief at Wallend Farm, Greenhead, Cumbria (NY 6450 6620). The site lies in a zone of archaeological sensitivity, between Hadrian's Wall and the Hadrian's Wall Vallum, within the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. The work was requested by Mike Collins, Hadrian's Wall Archaeologist, following a planning application for the construction of a kitchen extension at the site. An archaeological watching brief was required during the excavation of all groundworks associated with this development. The works involved the excavation of two foundation trenches for an extension to the farmhouse. No archaeology was observed within any of the foundation trenches and no archaeological finds were recovered. This was consistent with previous works carried out on the site by North Pennines Archaeology Ltd (Jones, 2004); (Horn, 2008). As this report fulfils the requirements for archaeological recording of the developments relating to works at Wallend Farm, no further work is necessary. However, due to the continuing high archaeological potential of the area, and the status of the site as part of Hadrian's Wall World Heritage site, any further development in the area should be subject to a programme of archaeological investigation. |
