Abstract: |
Archaeo-Environment Ltd. were commissioned to undertaken an update desk based assessment (based on a previous DBA by Tyne and Wear Museums) on land to the north and west of Seahouses. The land was situated behind the Seafield caravan park and is the focus of a proposed development to extend the caravan site. The land is currently used for agriculture, however is on the edge of the medieval village of North Sunderland, while previous discoveries of prehistorc burials within the area now occupied by the Seafield caravan park suggests much earlier occupiation of the landscape. During the 18th and 19th century the area was also used for industrial activities such as coal mining and possible lime burning. The study identified a number of features linked to coal mining within the development area, including a large depression possibly caused by mining which was filled in within recent years. It also highlighted a large subcircular cropmark feature that was situated within the development area and might be related to prehistoric settlement or coal mining activities. |
