Abstract: |
This document reports on archaeological monitoring conducted in May 2018, to appraise the impact of the removal by excavation of four mature trees from a site to the rear of 76 Ravensdowne, Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland (centred on grid reference NU 00149 52971). Re-excavation of one of the tree boles under archaeological supervision, and subsequent cleaning and recording by hand, revealed no significant archaeological remains from one of the 0.60 m deep tree boles. It was concluded, therefore, that no significant archaeological remains were disturbed during its removal and, further, that the findings from the re-excavated tree bole site can be extended to the sites of the other three. Thus, it is concluded that it is highly unlikely that any significant archaeological remains were disturbed on the site as a result of the removal of four tree boles in May 2018. Therefore, re-excavation of the remaining three tree bole sites is not recommended and no further action needs to take place. However, no further excavations should be carried out upon the site without archaeological monitoring as agreed in the WSI document which stipulates the archaeological mitigation measures agreed in response to perceived development impacts upon the site. |
