Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief during ground works for the conversion of a former agricultural range at Wallhouses South Farm, Matfen, Northumberland to residential use. The stone-built former workshop and byre, attached to the farmhouse, lies along the course of the north mound of the Vallum and possibly the Military Way both parts of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall and adjacent to scheduled monument 26043. No visible remains of either archaeological feature was visible within or adjacent to the ranges prior to the development, although the north Vallum mound is very marked in a pasture field immediately to the east of the farm. The watching brief accompanied ground reduction within the range and during excavation for a new foul-water drain immediately to the north of the building. No evidence for the north mound of the Vallum was seen within the range, nor any archaeological features seen within the external foul-water drain trench. Within the range, modern floor deposits directly overlay boulder clay and in the trench, modern courtyard surfacing directly overlay this same natural deposit. |
