Abstract: |
In July 2009, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an excavation at Grange Paddocks Leisure Centre on behalf of Wardell Armstrong and their client Everyone Active. The excavation was in advance of a single storey link extension between the existing ground floor changing room and two metal escape stairs. Previous investigations within the area had shown evidence for Roman occupation, but the extent and nature of these deposits had not been satisfactorily resolved, warranting the further work. The excavation found evidence for a multi-period site, which comprised a single linear feature with a pit , and the remains of an elderly female, all dating to the late 1st to 2nd centuries. These were later truncated by further large pits, used for the disposal of refuse sometime during the late 4th to 5th centuries. |
