Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during ground works for Barmoor Windfarm to the south of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland, from May to October 2014. The early cartographic record attests to the presence of 'old workings' and an 'old coal pit' close to the development area. The geological record shows that sporadic coal-bearing strata are present within the development area and their presence was confirmed by the proliferation of mining remains recorded in an earlier evaluation. The archaeological watching brief identified a number of undated isolated pits, a linear U-shaped trench that probably represents a land boundary or relict drainage ditch, and extensive mining remains in the form of bell pits and shafts and related features. The trackways serving the old workings have left no archaeological trace. |
