Abstract: |
Remedial works were carried out in 2015 on the unstable east wall of a grade II* listed building at Castle Heaton Farm, Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland as part of a Higher-Level Stewardship Agreement. Works included the excavation of trenches to take foundations for two new buttresses against the east face of the wall. During excavation of the northern foundation (Trench A) the below-ground remains of an existing buttress were revealed. The following report describes the remains of the buttress, other archaeological deposits and features within the trench, and notes a relatively late feature seen in Trench B, towards the south end of the wall. Monitoring works also provided limited information on the historic context of the building: Inspection of the exposed foundation of the east wall in Trench A showed the re-use of a number of worked building stones, two with mouldings; and one sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from below the foundation of the east wall. |
